Luckily, everything that’s anything features on endless local websites and apps, saving the cool crowd time and effort in choosing the best.
A pick of essential online info wouldn’t be complete without Uber, the ultimate way to travel to exactly where you need to be without the usual pricey detours through unpronounceable suburbs.

It’s the online bible for what’s hot and what’s not, enabling even newbies to dive into Dubai’s delights whilst avoiding social and culinary disasters. The site covers all needs, and is a lifeline for serious foodies.
Dubai Night is number one for party animals, with all the details of existing and upcoming night haunts and events. Its most visited page is ‘What’s Hot Tonight’, a see-and-be- seen bible for the undecided. Expat females love the Ladies Night page with its list of where to get free drinks a well as finding like-minded lassies.
For newbies fresh off the plane and still jetlagged, Dubizzle is a must for finding replacements for everything you forgot to bring with you and somewhere reasonably decent to park it all.
