The panorama changes completely
Being home to the world’s largest shopping mall, and the world’s tallest hotel and building, it’s no wonder that Dubai is the perfect place for an unforgettable night out.
I have to tell you that at night the city is even more beautiful and impressive than during the day. First because the temperatures are much more pleasant at night, and second because the city becomes a futuristic space with hundreds of illuminated buildings and colorful gardens. Not only that, but there is also more movement.
Don’t miss the night show of the Dubai Fountains.
Enjoying the spectacular Dubai Fountains is one of the most recommended nighttime plans to see. Every 30 minutes from 6 PM until 11:30 PM, these famous fountains offer a choreographed show to the rhythm of incredible symphonies. Then at 1:00 pm and 1:30 pm there are two water shows designed by a dance choreographer
There are many places from which you can view the Dubai Fountains for free, but the most spectacular are the Burj Lake, aboard a cruise ship, and one of the nearby restaurants.
The Fountain Show is the second largest choreographed fountain system in the world two shows. Each day the sequence of songs played changes, allowing you to see all the shows in just a few days if you wish.
Watch Dubai’s nightlife from the Burj Khalifa
As you might expect, the best way to appreciate every corner of Dubai at night is from the tallest building in the world, namely by booking tickets to the Burj Khalifa.
Dubai at night seems to turn into a futuristic city, so enjoy it with your view from the top. You will be able to see the Dubai Mall, the Dubai Fountains and all the skyscrapers. There is nothing that can make a wall for your view, especially on a night with clear skies!
Burj Khalifa at night is obviously one of the top attractions in Dubai, so make sure you book in advance, especially at dusk and at night.
Take a ride on a traditional night cruise
Another plan to do in Dubai at night is to book a traditional cruise. There are several places to hop on from, including Dubai Creek, Dubai Canal and Dubai Marina.
Doing it at night is a very special experience that will serve you to see the city from another perspective, as you will cruise along the city’s many waterways.
Traditional Dinner Cruise
You can also book a dinner cruise where you will enjoy a gourmet dinner prepared by a professional chef while enjoying pleasant live music by local artists.
Most dhow (traditional) style cruises usually follow a custom of offering hot and cold towels to wash your hands, and then snacks such as Arabic coffee, fresh dates and juices.
You also don’t have to worry if you are vegetarian as you can find a wide range of dishes and food.
Hop on a Big Bus at night
One of the best ways to get to know the city of Dubai at night is to book tickets for a Big Bus Night Tour.
On this tour, you will see all of **Dubai’**s most important landmarks. These include Burj Khalifa, the Dubai Mall, Atlantis on the Palm and the Jumeirah Mosque.
The tour starts at the Dubai Mall and is available in 12 different languages. It’s certainly a very sensible way to get acquainted with Dubai at night, you’ll even be lucky enough to see the Wafi Mall Pyramids light show.
Go and see the La Perle de Dragone show
Dubai is a spectacular city that offers entertainment and endless nightlife. One of the most amazing shows in town is La Perle de Dragone, a completely immersive experience of light, water and sound acrobatics.
Set on an aquatic stage with 3D projections, this unique show features more than 65 performers who leave spectators in awe every night with the feats they perform.
From famed artistic director Franco Dragone, you can now enjoy this permanent theater performance in Dubai. Tickets for La perle de Dragone can be purchased in advance from 65 euros. Get them and prepare to be amazed!
Enjoy the Dubai Garden Glow
Dubai Garden Glow is one of the most spectacular places you can visit in Dubai at night. It is filled with screens made from recycled material and millions of LED bulbs.
You will feel a magical atmosphere where sometimes it seems that the garden comes to life. The Dubai Garden is open from 17:00 to 22:00 and tickets cost 65 AED (€15.41).
In addition, there are a few different attractions to see inside Dubai Garden Glow such as the Dinosaur Park which features 120 animatronic dinosaurs, or the Ice Park which contains an impressive array of beautiful ice sculptures.
Visit Dubai Global Village
Visiting Global Village is a bit like visiting all the world’s greatest monuments at once. This open-air marketplace features smaller, glittering versions of Big Ben, the Taj Mahal and many others.
This space aims to be the largest nighttime entertainment project in the world – for only 15 AED ( 3.66 Eur) you can enjoy absolutely everything! Global Village is open from Saturday to Wednesday from 6:00 pm until midnight (Monday only for ladies). Thursday and Friday from 6:00 pm to 1:00 am.
Besides this, it is also a great place to buy food and do some shopping, not forgetting that for me it is the perfect place for some Dubai souvenirs.
Dine in the dark at Noire Fairmont
Book a table and have a dining experience like never before at the Noire Fairmont, where the waiters wear night vision goggles to serve you dinner in pitch darkness. The price is approximately 70 euros for two people and with access from 7:30 PM to 10:00 PM.
Normally, you will be served a three-course meal with refreshments in a darkened room so you can appreciate the taste of what you eat even more.
The condition is not to turn on any light-emitting appliances. If you want to go to the bathroom or go out you simply have to speak out loud so that an assistant can help you. It is also a great way to connect with the person you are with in Dubai.
