Dubai Gay-Friendly Bars
Dubai has no gay bars, as you may have assumed. It does, however, own an underground homosexual scene centred around private parties. That being said, there are a number of gay-friendly bars. Just be mindful that public displays of affection are ill-advised in Dubai, for both male lover and straight couples.

Exploring LGBTQ+ Travel Shelter in Dubai
When it comes to traveling as a member of the Queer community, it is important to complete your research beforehand to ensure that the destination you're planning on visiting is safe and welcoming.
Dubai, located in the United Arab Emirates (UAE) is a very popular and trendy travel destination with its iconic landmarks and luxurious hotels that resembles a futuristic Las Vegas resort. But what about its stance on Queer rights?
The difference between Dubai, Abu Dhabi and the UAE
Dubai is known for its more relaxed attitude when compared to other cities in the Combined Arab Emirates, such as Abu Dhabi. This new touristy city is striving to foster an image of organism socially progressive in order to draw as many visitors from the west as possible. However let's not be fooled, it is still operating under the archaic anti LGBT laws of the UAE.
Dubai's Anti-LGBTQ+ Laws

Dubai is a magnificent experimentation in combing intense Islamic traditions with a ruthlessly futuristic vision, all amidst an exquisitely desolate desert landscape.
Dubai is sleek rooftop terraces, vast shopping complexes, a world-class skyline, lavish infinity pools, scorching beach clubs and, well, just an excessive amount of wealth and gold. Many would argue this grand experiment has been a supreme success, but for the LGBT community, this leap into modernity is very much a facade.

As forward-looking and multi-culturally diverse as Dubai is, the absolute monarchy rulers here are definitely cherry-picking which parts of progress and modernity they long for to embrace. In Dubai, and across the Merged Arab Emirates, it is still illegal to be gay.
As Islamic Sharia Law is applied, all sexual relations outside of a heterosexual marriage are considered a crime. The maximum penalty for a person convicted of homosexuality is ten years i
How can a sense of belonging be forged in a setting where one’s existence is forbidden? That is the question that LSE’s Dr Centner and his co-author Harvard’s Manoel Pereira Neto explore in their groundbreaking study into Dubai’s expatriate gay men’s nightlife.
But it was not an easy topic to research. Dr Centner explains: “It's an illegal, or criminalised, identity and fix of behaviours and practices, so in a very general perception, it's a taboo. And taboo subjects are very often under-researched, sometimes because people have a hard time gaining access, gaining that trust, but also because, even if people gain that access, there could be significant repercussions for themselves as researchers, or for the people who are the research participants.
“As two queer researchers, we were competent to enter the worlds of relatively privileged Western gay expatriates. Secrecy is often the norm, but the field was familiar to us, through previous visits and research projects.”
These were indeed ‘parties’ ...[but] not bars identified as gay. Not a unattached venue’s webpage uses the synonyms ‘gay’ or related euphemisms, nor do they hint at targeting
