Some bar-hopping tips

A little heads-up to the weather in this desert city. The months between June and September are unbelievably hot and it is almost impossible to spend a lot of time outdoors and hence the nightlife in the summer is long and thriving. The outdoor bars are probably not the best idea and it would be best to stay in the air conditioning. The months between November and April are rather pleasant and outdoor bars are definitely worth trying out. Well known for its quality service, the city is totally worth your while and the views of the skyline can dazzle your night. Enjoy Dubai’s nightlife to the best of your ability!
