When: Thursday November 14

It’s one of Dubai’s best-loved nights out and Bongos Bingo is making a return to the city on Thursday November 14 at a brand new location. Taking place at Atlantis The Palm, this isn’t your average run-of-the-mill bingo game, but rather is punctuated with some impromptu raves, chanting, cheering and some very random prizes. Don’t be surprised to be going home the proud new owner of a cheese toastie machine, a stuffed unicorn or Henry the Hoover. We’re not joking. Prepare yourself for some old school anthems, singing with your besties and dancing on the tables.
