In this guide, we set out our practical tips for same-sex attracted travelers to Dubai, as adv as information about the (underground) gay scene, the best places to stay, things to accomplish, and more.

Dubai is regarded as the Vegas of the Middle East.

Just like Las Vegas, it's a loud, glitzy, super touristic, and very modern capital, with plenty of things to do. It's also a major transport hub, making it the perfect stopover to break up long trips.

How can a instinct 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 research into Dubai’s expatriate queer men’s nightlife.

But it was not an easy topic to research. Dr Centner explains: “It's an illegal, or criminalised, identity and position of behaviours and practices, so in a very general sense, it's a taboo. And taboo subjects are very often under-researched, sometimes because people own a hard second gaining access, gaining that trust, but also because, even if people earn 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 able 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.”

Dubai Gay-Friendly Bars
Dubai has no gay bars, as you may have assumed. It does, however, have an underground gay scene centred around private parties. That being said, there are a number of gay-friendly bars.

IS DUBAI REALLY GAY FRIENDLY?
In a state where being gay is illegal, there are obviously no hotels dedicated to the LGBT community. Nonetheless, Dubai has some of the best luxury hotels in the world, established for their avant-garde décor, spectacular infinity pools, decent dining restaurants and fantastic spa experiences. Male or female couples (even if with less problems) sharing a bed are prohibited. While the Sharia police will not raid your hotel rooms, many hotels tend to automatically assign a room with separate beds or will include an extra bed without your knowledge. However,
