Officials have eased some of the rules on Dubai's dining, entertainment, and nightlife activities.
Restaurants, cafes, clubs, and bars will once again be allowed to stay open until 3 am, with maximum capacity at 80%, announced the Department of Tourism and Commerce Marketing (DTCM) in Dubai.
Outdoor concerts will also be able to increase the maximum attendance to 5,000 people. Plus, events organizers can open standing areas in venues, provided that the space allows people to move around with some social distancing.
If you're eager to hop back in to the emirate's nightlife and live gigs, it's important to note that most concerts, sports matches, etc. will require attendees and staff to be fully vaccinated against Covid-19.
