Cinema

For a late-night experience for the whole family, have a movie night. Many of Dubai's top shopping destinations include amazing cinema experiences, like VIP packages, IMAX screenings, and even menus prepared by a celebrated chef such as the Guy Fieri menu at Reel Dine-In. During the winter months, outdoor cinemas and open-air screenings are also very popular.

Dynamic Nightspots

Dubai's dynamic nightspots are second to none. From rooftop lounges with unmatched views, to venues for dancing and partying the night away, the city's got it all. For a romantic ambience with live music or an in-house DJ, try Nola or Jazz@Pizza Express. Take it into the early hours at the famous White, Armani/Prive, Iris or Billionaire Mansion. Whether it's low-key lounging or high-energy beats, Dubai is sure to show you a good time.

If you're looking to spice up your evening with live music, you have plenty of options. Tuck into Southern US Cajun cuisine with live entertainment at Nola Eatery & Social House. Another top spot known for its quality jazz is Q’s Bar & Lounge at Palazzo Versace (the vision of music producer Quincy Jones) while Lock, Stock & Barrel in Barsha Heights hosts upbeat live music nights.

Shopping

Late-night shopping is part of Dubai culture, with most malls open late: during the week, malls close around 10 or 11pm while weekend hours stretch until midnight. Often, especially during peak shopping seasons like Dubai Shopping Festival in winter, Dubai Summer Surprises and Ramadan, Dubai's most popular malls have extended hours — some as late as 2am.
