Obvly there are no gay bars and clubs town, but everyone mix at the top spots, ually nnected to hotels. Gay crowds also s at the fés of the Dubai Mall, g bluetooth nnectn on their cell phon to "nnect" wh others.

There are obvly no gay hotels Dubai, but orr to feel safer and be surround by like-md people, you may want to stay at Wtern chas close to Jumeirah beach.
