Five years ago Dubai had no real private members club culture. Today it has more openings per capita than London — and a calendar that rivals Mayfair.
The leaders
The Arts Club Dubai (ICD Brookfield Place) is the most architecturally ambitious. Monkey Bar at the Lana sits at the top of the list for younger members. Soho House DIFC anchors the design-led set.
Business membership
Capital Club DIFC remains the network for finance, while the new Founders Club in d3 has captured the technology and venture community.
