Dubai, Dubai, Dubai… Emirate and capital city we hear this name over and over again when it comes to wealth, oil and towering buildings that scratch the clouds. Surely you saw the odd documentary, you saw photographs and you know someone who has gone on vacation or at least has made a stopover at its tremendous airport. Is that so?
Dubai, the city, is modern, fantasticIt seems to emerge from the middle of the desert and on the shores of a sea whose color is Caribbean. Is a cosmopolitan city inhabited by people from all over the world and by the wealth that has seen it born and that keeps it standing has a great deal of nighttime fun that would surprise even lovers of nightlife Londoner.
Dubai, the new city
It is the capital of the emirate of the same name and the Dubai Creek divides it in two parts, Bur Dubai, to the south, and Deira, to the north. Rest in the Persian Gulf and in the center live no more and no less than about two million people.
Although it was founded in the XNUMXth century prosperity came to him in the XNUMXth century hand in hand with the conjunction of the United Arab Emirates in the 70s. Although it is not the capital of the UAE, Abu Dhabi is, it is today the most important city, super cosmopolitan and super modern. Serious money has been invested here and the architecture is an example. Naturally, the opposite of this growth is the migration of poor workers from the countries of the region, low wages and poverty.
Nightlife in Dubai
A cosmopolitan city where people from all over the world live tends to have a lot of recreational activity. It happens with Shanghai, New York, London or Hong Kong but in truth Dubai is the newest setting in this matter and the bizarre thing about it is that it is still a Muslim city.
In Dubai there are many restaurants, bars and nightclubs or discos. Most bars and clubs They are inside hotels and inside you meet people from the east and west. Here, as long as you are 21 years old, you can drink alcohol. And that you are not Muslim, obviously, since those who profess this faith alcohol is strictly prohibited. To buy alcohol they may ask for your passport, it depends on your age.
If by those chance you have rented a car or you know someone and you travel by car, you should know that here the law on driving and drinking is very tough and the tolerance is absolutely zero. You can start the night with a night out and then go to a disco.
The clothes are casual but elegant. Let me tell you that the better you are the better you feel so for a vacation in Dubai do not skimp on the wardrobe and fill your suitcase with good clothes and accessories.
The move starts on Thursday nights because for the people here the weekend is Friday and Saturday. If you travel with girls, you can take advantage of Wednesdays and Thursdays, which are free or discounted days for women. And maybe even drink and pay nothing! Anyway, although there is a lot of party in Dubai, do not expect to go to bed with the sun because the agitation starts at 10 at night but does not usually extend past 3 in the morning.
Let's see some of the clubs or hotspots in Dubai night:
White dubai
This place is about two years old and It is the largest and most exclusive nightclub in the city. It is located on the terrace of the Meydan Racecourse Grand Stand, somewhat just outside the center. But that is why it is a fantastic place since the view you have of the urban skyline in the distance is incredible.
It opens in mid-September, when the heat begins to subside, and it only stays open in winter. Its attendants are local people but there are also many foreigners, residents and tourists.
