Nasimi Beach, Dubai

Allahu Akbar, Allahu Akbar! You know when you hear the call to prayer, you’ve come to a Muslim state and it’s different rules over here. Although hailing as one of the “decadent” party spots of the middle east where the rich and famous come to play, it’s still a Muslim state with some very conservative laws! So we were warned that there was to be absolutely no skin showing and no costumes that would reveal the contours of the body…..

Nasimi beach is the beach bar of the Atlantis resort complex – so big it has an aquarium and a water park as part of the hotel! The gig itself was a fun one joined by some familiar faces we recognised from previous gigs in Dubai. Shout outs to Charl, Smoking Groove and David Craig (Craaaaig David!!!) for the support!

Sheesha-ing away with resident Charl Chaka at Nasimi!
