Dubai nightlife, explained
The Nightlife Journal is Chameleon Club Dubai's guide to better nights out in Dubai, written by the team behind the club at P Level, Social Hotel, Barsha Heights (TECOM). It is for guests planning a first visit, a celebration or a regular night out in Barsha Heights and TECOM.
Every guide sticks to what you can plan for: how booking works, what to wear, when to arrive and how to get here. Details that change from night to night, such as minimum spends or line-ups, are confirmed directly by the concierge rather than printed here.
