Nightlife in Muslim Countries?
03-16-2010, 01:24 AM
Does anyone here have any experience going out in Muslim countries where alcohol is banned? I'm not talking about the more westernized countries like Egypt, Syria, Lebanon, Jordan and Turkey where alcohol is legal.
I'll be going in a few months and am curious to know what it's like going out when the only places to drink are at licensed restaurants and bars, expatriate clubs, and of course at house parties. Thanks in advance for the advice!

I hear that banging a non-pro in places like Egypt, Jordan, etc. is pretty much impossible.

I was in Morocco over the winter break -- nightlife was pretty much nonexistent as far as I saw. There were a few nightclubs on the beach in Tangier but I didn't visit them for fear of being surrounded by fat, 45-year-old Spaniards.

Pretty much dead on in the majority of Iraq, although Baghdad has its spots for the children of the well-to-do...not that I would recommend it to ANYBODY not from Iraq.

This thread makes me giggle for some reason...
but, if you want to experience nightlife with people from the Middle East, I would imagine Dubai is the spot, but then again if you think hooking up with an Italian or Greek in Italy or Greece is hard, then you're going to have just as hard, if not harder, time in the Middle East.
The thing about Islam is that saving yourself til marriage is quite important, and family respect is also quite important in certain areas, so if a girl is seen "slutting around" it has repercussions not just for her, but for the apparant bad upbringing she's had... so in conclusion hooking up is very difficult unless you go to some hooker... which many of these countries, as well as certain catholic countries, have a lot of.

I'm curious to know if anyone has had experience in Malayasia?

Based on what a couple friends who have visited Muslim countries tell me, you really need a contact in those countries.
In many of the major cities there is partying going on, but its all underground, meaning house parties. You have to have an "in".
Finding contacts is probably not easy. The friends I mention above were actually originally from those countries and spoke a little of the language.
