Things to do in Dubai after work on a weeknight
By James Erdogan, ProLink Events · Updated 14 November 2026
If you want something to do in Dubai on a weeknight that is social and useful, go to an evening networking event. They usually start around 7pm in a bar or lounge, last two to three hours, and are an easy way to meet new people. The ProLink events coming up this week are listed below.
Why a networking event instead of a night out?
- You meet people with something in common
- Hosts introduce you, so you are not standing on your own
- It is over by around 9 or 10pm on a school night
- You might leave with a client, a partner or a new friend
