When going out in Dubai, dress codes vary from establishment to establishment. If you are planning on "bar-hopping" throughout the night follow these guidelines and you won't be left standing outside because you are underdressed... MEN: Some places (Irish pubs, etc.) are very relaxed when it comes to dresscode for men. To play it safe though, men should wear - a shirt with collar - good-quality jeans or proper trousers (no shorts!) - proper shoes (no sandals or sports shoes/sneakers). Then no bouncer should have a problem letting you in. LADIES: For us girlies, pretty much anything goes... sorry guys! Even the more upmarket places don't have a problem if you show up in jeans and a sexy top, or short skirts, or boots, etc. Some bouncers may have a problem if you are wearing sneakers/sports shoes. But usually they are glad to see girls wanting to party at their club and will let you in without any trouble.
