Where To Buy Alcohol In Dubai Without a License?

This article is helpful for people who are not able to get an alcohol license in Dubai and want to drink alcohol in Dubai. In this article, I introduce places such as hotels, bars, and nightclubs where you can buy alcoholic beverages without a license.

Suppose you are a little familiar with the culture and religion of the people of Dubai. In that case, you will definitely know that drinking alcohol is forbidden for the Muslim people of Dubai. Therefore, it is not easy to drink, buy, sell, and transport alcoholic beverages in Dubai, and you must get a license for this.

Since I plan to stay in Dubai for a long time, I have received a license to buy alcohol. By identifying the cheapest supermarket in Dubai, I will try to buy cheap but high-quality alcohol. You may not want to stay in Dubai for a long time and do not have the opportunity to get a license. That’s why in this article from Travelling Topic, I’m going to answer the question, “Where to buy alcohol in Dubai without a license,” and guide you in this field.

Where to buy alcohol in Dubai without a license?

Below, I have listed the best places where you can buy alcohol without a license.

Dubai Airport

In my opinion, the duty-free section at Dubai Airport is the best place to buy alcohol without a license in Dubai.

After getting off the plane, you can go to this section and buy the alcohol you want at a reasonable price. All kinds of alcoholic drinks, such as wine, beer, whiskey, etc., are sold in this area.

One thing you should pay attention to is that carrying alcohol inside the city is prohibited, so do not display alcoholic beverages in public places. After buying alcohol at the airport, put it in your luggage and take a taxi to the hotel.

Hotels

If you forget to buy alcohol at the airport, buying alcohol from the hotel is the best option. Alcohol consumption is free in some hotels in Dubai, but the price of alcohol in them is more expensive than in the airport.

You can have a close relationship with the hotel staff and ask them to buy alcohol for you from the airport or give you alcohol from the same hotel at a cheaper price. For them to agree with you, it is better to tip them.

In luxury hotels, alcoholic beverages are served, and you can easily drink alcohol in them. Still, in budget hotels, drinking alcohol is stricter, and you may not be allowed to drink alcohol in some of them, so it is better to call them and ask to get informed about this matter.

The list of hotels where you can buy alcohol is as follows:

• Dubai Mall Address Hotel
• Address Boulevard Hotel
• Address Skyview Hotel
• Waldorf Astoria Hotel, Dubai, International Financial Center
• JW Marriott Marquis Dubai Hotel
• Four Points by Sheraton Bur Hotel
• Five Palm Jumeirah Hotel Dubai
• Five Jumeirah Village Hotel
• Atlantis Palm Hotel
• Four Seasons Resort Jumeirah Beach
• Burj Al Arab Jumeirah Hotel
• Dubai Marina Address Hotel
• Raffles Dubai Hotel

Bars and nightclubs

Another place where you can find unlicensed alcohol is Dubai bars. In bars, you can drink as much alcohol as you like, but you are not allowed to buy and take alcohol out with you.

But you can talk to the staff and bar manager and ask them to give you illegal alcohol to take with you to the hotel.

Pay attention to this issue because they don’t know you; they may disagree with you at first, but if you can gain their trust or pay more money, they may agree to your offer.

From that point, all the customers are those who consume a lot of alcohol. They definitely know the ways to buy illegal alcohol. So, you can communicate with them and buy alcohol from them.

Take alcohol in your luggage to Dubai!

At the end of this article, I want to give you some good news. You are allowed to take a limited amount of alcohol into Dubai in your luggage. This becomes illegal when you bring more than the specified amount of alcohol with you to Dubai.

When I was planning to come to Dubai from Turkey, I brought 2 bottles of liquor with me, and I didn’t have any problems.

If you want to do this, you must read the rules carefully. I have thoroughly reviewed these rules in the article “Can you take alcohol in your luggage to Dubai?”

In conclusion

As you can see, this has many problems, so it is better to get a license to buy alcohol so that you can buy cheaper alcohol and carry it safely.

I request those who have traveled to Dubai and had the experience of buying illegal alcohol to share their information with other users.

In the articles “Dubai duty free liquor price” and “drinking age in Dubai“, I have fully reviewed the laws and prices of alcohol in Dubai. If you are interested in these topics, you can also read them.
