Dubai Unlimited: Beach Clubs, Rooftops and Megaclubs
Seven days of partying in the UAE: the Zero Gravity beach club on the sand, the rooftop bars of the DIFC among the towers, Dubai Marina's legendary ladies brunches, White Dubai under the stars and the Ibizan experience of Blue Marlin.
Description
Dubai has built one of the world's most spectacular nightlife scenes, with luxury beach clubs lining the Gulf, rooftop bars suspended in the financial district's towers and megaclubs that draw the planet's best DJs. This 7-day itinerary dives into the epicentre of the Emirati party. The Zero Gravity beach club at JBR couples an infinity pool over the beach with daytime DJ sets and sunset parties with your feet still in the sand. The DIFC's rooftop bars pour signature cocktails with the Dubai skyline as a backdrop. Friday brunches in Dubai Marina are an institution: four hours of all-you-can-eat-and-drink with DJs and live shows. White Dubai — the open-air club at Meydan facing the skyline — is the epicentre of the global electronic scene. The experience culminates at Blue Marlin Ibiza UAE, a branch of the legendary Ibizan club on Ghantoot beach. Smart dress code mandatory. Book weeks ahead. The party starts at 1 p.m. and does not stop until dawn.
