CASUAL NIGHT OUT IN DUBAI

The temperatures in Dubai have already hit 40 degrees and quite frankly we just want to hibernate during the day and get out at night when the weather is a little cooler (or so we hope!).

So have a lie in and laze around during the day but get your energy high for Dubai buzzing night life – here are some suggestions of a few fun spots and activities:

Movies by the Pool: Summer is synonymous with the pool-so what better place than to enjoy a movie by the poolside. With two shows at 7:30pm and then again at 9:30pm this is a fun activity for the entire family-tickets are 35 AED for children 12 and below and 65AED for adults.
For more info call +971 4 390 5600 – The Address Montgomerie Dubai, Emirates Hills

40Kong: Play the social butterfly and head to 40Kong on the 40th floor of the H Hotel. A panoramic and breathtaking aerial view of old Dubai by night will await for you, have a drink in this outdoor rooftop cocktail lounge while marveling at the lit-up skyscrapers of Dubai.
For more info call + 971 4 3558896, 40 Kong, The H Hotel, 40th Floor, One Sheikh Zayed Road

Al Mallah: If there is one street that comes alive at night it’s 2nd of December (formerly known as Al Diyafah) in Satwa, and the atmosphere here is buzzing and worth soaking in. If you are in Dubai then you must try out their iconic shawarmas – the best in Dubai if not the Middle East!
Al Mallah is open till 3am, tel: +971 4 398 4723, location map

Al Ijaza: This little drive through juice spot in the heart of Jumeirah is legendary. With over a 100 combinations of fresh juices they are also happy to make a custom juice if that is what you prefer. Open till 3am it is the perfect way to have something healthy while quenching your thirst at any hour of the night.

Al Reef Bakery: Nothing like an indulgent doze of carb-loaded, freshly baked cheese and meat manakeesh after a night out. Perfect for the weekend cheat days, this typical Lebanese food is the Middle Eastern pizza and open 24 hours.

Playlist: Check out our music playlist for insomniacs. The perfect mix of songs if you are wide awake and want to just relax. So even if you are blasting the songs in your balcony or patio the neighbors won’t be complaining because these are the top songs of all times.
