Every city has its own charm. While some are known for their incredible landscapes, there are others that are known for their insanely vibrant nightlife. So, sticking to the latter category, there are many cities around the world that are known for their nighttime beauty. And Dubai has made it to the third spot on this list of the most scenic cities in the world at night.
Dubai Has The Third Prettiest Nightlife In The World
According to the latest study by Travelbag, which is a UK-based travel agency, Dubai is the third prettiest city at night. Highlighting the appeal of nighttime tourism, this study has positioned the city amongst the top 10 for its beauty and safety, especially after dark. In fact, Abu Dhabi has also made it to the list at number 12, and it has been named the safest city in the world to explore at night. Dubai ranked amongst the top three on the same list.
Dubai Has Several Nightlife Offerings
