What happens in Dubai...

Wow what an awesome night! After a day at the mall, and quite frankly being pretty underwhelmed I had the most random night out.

I asked the staff at then hotel to recommend a cool bar to have a cocktail in, they recommended Sky Lounge at Hilton. It was on the 35th floor and the views were amazing.

The cocktails are so expensive here £11 for a strawberry margarita. They have happy hour but that's usually during the week, not at the weekends. 

After my one cocktail, I decided to grab some dinner then head to the hotel bar called Penthouse 25. Again it's a great bar with awesome views.

It was really quiet when I arrived as it was only 8:00pm. There were a few girls at the bar but I just assumed they were staff. They were playing a little drinking game called Kings. It was great fun.

There were three Swedish girls and one French girl. All so young aged between 21-25. It's pretty expensive here to drink so they suggested we head to a house party locally.

I guess that was the point when really I should ace said I'm going back to my room but being in Dubai I thought 'why the devil not?'

After a quick taxi ride, we were at the apartment. The views were amazing and so big! We continued playing some more drinking games and after a while decided it was time to move on (promptly when the alcohol ran out!) so off we went to another apartment for two cool Arabic guys.

We spent the night drinking, dancing and generally having a cool time. I decided to call it a night and headed home at 5am.

It just goes to show that you have to be 'out there' to have a great time. I've made some cool friends and had an amazing random night plus the bonus is I learnt that Dubai isn't a country, it's actually a city in United Arab Emirates.

So here's to an awesome night and not getting murdered!
