UAE Party Guide

The UAE knows how to throw a party. Yes, you can have the traditional clubbing experience at Meydan or Yas Island, but there’s also great party brunches in Abu Dhabi, incredible ladies’ nights in Dubai Marina, and everything in between. But it’s inadvisable to jump straight in with no method to your madness. Before heading out the door, have a nosey through the next few pages – your ultimate guide to partying in the UAE.

Best CLUBS

ABU DHABI

Annex

Over at the swanky Abu Dhabi EDITION this new nightlife addition is located next to the main hotel. Annex occupies an entire building, which juts out into the water of Al Bateen Marina, and is split into three spaces. The rooftop bar is an intimate space where the DJ spins house music with Arabic intervals; the mid-level is for a cosier vibe, and the real party plays out on the ground floor. For a three-in-one experience head on down.

Annex, The Abu Dhabi Edition, Al Bateen Marina, Abu Dhabi, Thur and Fri 8pm to 3am. Tel [phone]. annexabudhabi.com

Mad on Yas Island

Dubbed ‘the largest nightclub in the UAE’, the graffiti covered club on Yas Island brings in big names (Tinie Tempah, Eve and Kid Ink), has friendly staff and thankfully doesn’t take itself too seriously. The opulent nightclub features 360 degree projection mapping, huge animated LED screens, an exceptional sound system, beautiful light shows and a luxurious VIP area.
