Dubai named world’s most picturesque city after-dark

Travelbag study ranked 136 cities for their evening appeal 

Dubai has scooped another top ranking, this time taking poll position globally for its after-dark appeal.

The ranking was revealed by travel agency Travelbag, which commissioned a study analysing 136 cities worldwide on a combination of factors including Instagram hashtags, light and noise pollution levels, and safety ratings in relation to walking alone at night.

According to the study, Dubai leads among long-haul destinations for its stunning night time views. The '#dubaiatnight' Instagram hashtag has been used more than 27,387 times on posts showcasing the city's picturesque evenings.

According to the findings, Dubai's combination of ambiance and safety also made it a preferred destination by night.

The hotel has a fire and water theme with a feature fountain with dancing jets and flames choreographed to musical soundtracks. Dubai Fountain in Downtown Dubai is another example of the after-dark aquatics on display.

Further to its nightly entertainment, Dubai also excelled in safety, ranking fourth globally with a safety score of 83.4 out of 100.
