Nightlife in Business Bay, Dubai

Business Bay sits immediately south of Downtown Dubai, along the Dubai Water Canal. It is a dense, walkable grid of towers, hotels and waterfront promenades — which is why it has become one of the city's most convenient districts for an evening out.

Where Business Bay sits in the city

The district runs along the Dubai Water Canal and borders Downtown Dubai to the north. Marasi Drive follows the canal on the eastern side of the district and forms the main waterfront address in the area.

XOXO Nightclub & Lounge Dubai is located on Marasi Drive in Business Bay, Dubai, United Arab Emirates. Its coordinates are 25.1839171, 55.2563987.

Getting to Marasi Drive

Business Bay is served by Business Bay metro station on the Red Line, and the district is reachable from Sheikh Zayed Road and Al Khail Road. Marasi Drive itself is a canal-side road, so it is easiest to navigate to a precise pin rather than a street name.

  • Use the venue's Google Maps listing for turn-by-turn directions.
  • Allow extra time on weekend evenings, when canal-side traffic is heaviest.
  • Taxis and ride-hailing are the simplest option if you plan to stay late.

Planning the evening

Dubai evenings tend to start late. Dinner in Business Bay commonly runs until well after 22:00, and nightlife venues fill later than they would in most European cities. If you are booking a table for a group, contact the venue directly rather than relying on walk-in availability.

A smart dress code applies and guests must be 21 or over with valid ID. Contact XOXO Nightclub & Lounge Dubai in advance to arrange table reservations and guest list entry.
