Dubai has always had a side most people never get access to. The rooms where eight-figure deals happen, where guest lists are notoriously tight, and where getting in is the whole status statement. Private members clubs in Dubai are no longer a niche thing reserved for old-money expats — they are now one of the most competitive social currencies in the city, and the scene is getting more serious every season.
