How about a unique place to party in Dubai? Float Dubai has made headlines worldwide! Popularly known as QE2, the historic ocean liner Queen Elizabeth II has become the largest floating nightclub in the world. Named as Float Dubai, this massive nightclub is located at Port Rashid. Being a private outdoor club, it can accommodate over 1000 people at a time. With the highest deck and a lounge, Queen Elizabeth II offers a great venue for those who want to experience a blend of past, present, and future. The club had a grand opening on October 14 this year by Dubai royal family. Purchased in 2008, the vessel is docked as a floating hotel consisting of 215 rooms at the commercial port of Rashid.


The grand opening of this magnificent floating hotel had shown by DJ, acrobats, U.S. rapper DaBaby, hula-hoop dancers and drinks, which were strangely high-priced. According to The Times, about 200 ounces of Dom Perignon Rose Gold set partygoers back more than $107,000.


With a unique space onboard the Queen Elizabeth II, Float Dubai brings in the present, while the vessel’s long history and culture takes you to the past. The advanced technologies deployed show the future. It’s a great experience that the visitor can never forget. Apart from the vibrant ambiance, it is very difficult to find what Float Dubai is going for. The website of the hotel has listed several events, which urges the guests to add Float to their list.


The float offers one-of-a-kind fun and entertainment and is the first floating hotel in Dubai. You can feel the true British heritage and history on the permanently docked QE2. Other than its distinctive location, Float Dubai promises to bring a different verve and vivacity. You can’t afford to visit this celebrated ocean liner in the world in New Marina at Dubai’s Port Rashid, and enjoy the latest extravaganzas of amenities and facilities.

The hotel offers the best suites, vibrant nightlife venues, a well-explained history exhibition, a licensed theatre, and a heritage tour, which takes you to the Elizabethan period. You can choose from various packages and stay longer enjoying great food and drinks.
