What’s On has details of Dubai’s highest rooftop club, District 47 at the Warwick Hotel on Sheikh Zayed Road.

– Highest outdoor pool
– Highest vantage point

It was only in January when the H Hotel acquired the title of Dubai’s highest bar, but fast forward less than 12 months later and the baton has been passed on.

Dubai’s highest rooftop club – District 47 (formally District Lounge) – is seven floors higher than its predecessor, located on the 47 floor of the new Warwick Hotel on Sheikh Zayed Road promising to boast stellar views of the city’s skyline.

Starting Thursday 11 December and continuing into the New Year, the weekly schedule includes live bands from 8pm every Thursday and old school urban, hip hop and RnB with Dany Neville on Fridays. Food with a pan Asian theme will also be served between 9pm and 12am.

Speaking about the District 47 relaunch and relocation, founder Alan Honein said: “We know our guests and followers very well; they are sophisticated, particular and trendy yet down-to-earth and our new location is set to emulate this.”

The Dubai Fountains are pretty impressive from the ground level, but hoist yourself up 63 floors and they become mind-blowing. The view of the Burj Khalifa isn’t half bad either. You’ll have to take two lifts to reach it, but once you do, the twinkling city views and art deco-inspired interiors will ensure you stay for more than just the one.

Drink in the 360-degree view at this glitzy bar and club on the 17th floor of Raffle’s in Wafi City – which, for those who are new to town, is Dubai’s take on ancient Egypt. Think imposing pyramids, gold pillars and giant pharaoh statues, complete with a host of five-star restaurants, bars and a sprawling mall. It’s Disneyland for adults and well worth a trip.
