In the coming weeks, the United Arab Emirates is expected to open to Israeli tourists, many of whom will come to the country to take a closer look at Dubai's nightlife, one of the biggest attractions in tourist princesses.
Roy Yitzhak, 23, who has been working in the nightlife industry in the city for several months, told Israel Today about its laws, the many celebrations and finds out what it is allowed to do - and it is probably much more than we have all heard.
"Like everything in the world, the Corona plague has affected Dubai's nightlife, but unlike other places in the world - it's not that severe, as there are still open spaces, beach parties and clubs and bars open at night in a lounge format, meaning people sit at tables and watch The guidelines while they have fun and celebrate, "Levy said.
"Dubai knows how to celebrate properly. Although there is no requirement to come to clubs in certain attire, it is important to respect the locals."
Many Israelis believe that it is not possible to drink alcohol in the Emirates, how does that work exactly?
"It is legal to drink alcohol in the Emirates, but especially in restaurants, bars and clubs. You just do not sell alcohol in the supermarket or grocery store, but there is no restaurant or bar that does not sell alcohol. This actually causes the price of alcohol in the city to be very high. More expensive than in Israel. "
There are quite a few stories about men and women not being able to get too close to each other in Dubai.
Make us order - what is allowed and what is forbidden?
"Women and men can dance together, talk, basically do everything they can anywhere else in the world. Dubai is a very open and modern place, but there is a lot of misinformation about it and I want to emphasize that there is no reason to worry, allowed to celebrate and enjoy. Need a reservation a few days in advance "In order to enter really equal bars and clubs, in some places you also have to book at a certain minimum, but there is no doubt that there are enough clubs and bars that suit everyone."
Levy says that the nightlife in Dubai is not suitable for those who have not yet reached the age of 21 - because this is the age at which local law allows drinking alcohol.
"There are parties here with techno music, of house, of hip hop - and there are also evenings of Arab music, but it doesn't happen much," he adds.
"Usually the clubs here are some of the best in the world, everything is western and very advanced and at a very high level."
