Quick question for UAE / Dubai regulars — anything changed recently?
Was there last year and had a great time but heard things are quieter.
Worth going back or try somewhere new?
Cheers

The atmosphere there is hard to beat.

Adding my experience: scene has evolved since pre-COVID. Biggest change: better quality.
