Where to party in Dubai?
Dubai is a very touristy city. So if you’d like to party there, it’s perfectly possible. Within the city, you’ll find many panoramic bars and beach clubs. In the first category, you can enjoy a breathtaking view of the city of Dubai, while in the second category you can enjoy the cool waters of the swimming pool. Of course, you can move from one beach club to another: the waiters will be there to provide you with everything you need. Whether it’s food or drink, you’ll be treated like royalty.
There’s also something exotic about beach clubs. Indeed, it’s not exactly what you’d find in France or even in European countries. In Dubai, however, they are very much in evidence. And it’s well worth taking advantage of, especially when you go to Dubai during the hottest periods.

Places to buy and consume alcohol in Dubai
In Dubai, the purchase and consumption of alcohol is regulated, and it is important to respect local laws and customs regarding alcohol. Non-Muslims over the age of 21 are allowed to buy and consume alcohol in authorized premises. Here’s where and how you can buy alcohol in Dubai:
Licensed Hotels and Restaurants :
Most hotels and restaurants in Dubai with a liquor license offer alcoholic beverages to their guests. This is often the easiest and most convenient way for tourists to consume alcohol.
Licensed Retail Stores :
There are specialized stores selling alcohol in Dubai. The best-known are African + Eastern (A+E) and Maritime and Mercantile International (MMI). To buy alcohol in these stores, residents generally need a personal liquor license, although the rules have recently been relaxed for tourists.
Dubai Airport:
On arrival at Dubai International Airport, you can buy duty-free alcohol in duty-free stores. There’s usually a limit on the amount of alcohol you can buy, so it’s important to check restrictions before making any purchases.
Alcohol licenses for residents :
If you are a resident of Dubai and wish to purchase alcohol for consumption at home, you will need to obtain a liquor license. This requires filling out an application and providing certain documents, and there are usually restrictions on the amount of alcohol you can buy each month.
For Tourists:
Tourists can also buy alcohol in certain licensed retail outlets without a liquor license. However, they must present their passport and sign a declaration stating that they are tourists and will purchase the alcohol for personal use only.
Please note:
It is also illegal to drink and drive. It is therefore important to consume alcohol responsibly and to respect local laws and regulations.
