Here is everything you need to know about White Dubai.
Before the upscale rooftop club opened its doors in Dubai, founder Tony Habre first launched White in 2006 in Beirut. After witnessing the success of the first venue, he knew that White’s ethos was doomed to go beyond Lebanon’s borders.
Fast forward to 2013, Habre used the same success-fuelled formula that molded White Lebanon’s roaring popularity, implementing it in his fresh-faced Dubai branch.
In an interview with Esquire Middle East, Habre said that the recipe for uniqueness is all about starting from zero. He affirmed that all team members are “involved in every step of the creative process,” ensuring that the end result “is perfect each time.”
White isn’t your average lavish clubbing destination.
Steering clubbers’ evening escape in the right direction, the venue is a pro at delivering one-of-a-kind partying sessions.
Thanks to its jaw-dropping location (AKA a rooftop located on the eighth floor of Meydan Grandstand) and breath-taking views of Dubai’s skyline, White transcends its nightclub status.
A state-of-the-art lighting game and thumping sound system also team up to keep the party alive for hours on end.
In 2018, White was ranked as the number one club in the Middle East.
Although it competed with roaring party capitals such as Ibiza, New York and Miami, White Dubai earned a spot in the World’s 100 Best Clubs, ranking as the 20th club worldwide.
After all, the superclub’s stages opened their arms to some resounding names from the music industry.
Pop and rap legends including Jason Derulo, Tinie Tempah, 2 Chainz and Wiz Khalifa have all graced White Dubai with their jaw-dropping performances.
Since rappers and singers aren’t the only A-listers that transformed the upscale nightclub into a hotbed for five-star music performances, electronic sounds are also present. Roaring names from the DJing realm also took over White’s audio decks.
DJ masterminds such as Dimitri Vegas & Like Mike, Armin van Buuren and DJ Dannic juggled with tech-house and electronic beats to deliver foolproof clubbing experiences.
Hip-hop Saturday event URBN is a musical playground for everything soaked in urban beats. Only the finest hip-hop and rap beats blast through White’s speakers during the in-house event.
But the posh partying spot didn’t stop there. It added some industry titans such as Young Ma, Nelly and ASAP Ferg on its stage.
For a rooftop venue, White Dubai can accommodate an impressive number of people.
Its generous open-space layout can fit around 2,000 standing places and 500 seated spots. With this jaw-dropping capacity, White seems to embody a mini-festival spirit – but it has zero problems in filling it up with restless clubbers.
As pandemic restrictions tore through the nightlife industry’s most popular venues, White had to adapt to the ‘new normal’. During the COVID-19 days, White switched its bustling ground for a glitzy sit-down restaurant.
The hypnotic LED system was replaced by lush greenery, the bar reduced its size and the capacity dropped to 800 people.
But White’s ethos remained unchanged.
As you can tell, its constant commitment to delivering top-notch services and spellbinding remained the same – the only difference was that guests had to be seated.
What are you coming to White for? To rage. And nothing beats a night of raging on the dancefloor, surrounded by an ultramodern decor and entertained by legendary music performances.
