Splits happen- roll with it…
In Dubai, you’ll find three distinct bowling alley types: bars with bowling, traditional alleys, and mall bowling, all fun in their own ways.
This guide breaks down where to go to clock your first 300. Here are 8 bowling spots in Dubai you need to check out…
Brass Monkey
Brass Monkey is set over a gigantic two-story space complete with a 12-lane bowling alley, arcade, pool tables, two dining concepts and so much more. Downstairs you’ll find the bowling alley and old arcade games. Upstairs there’s three pool and snooker tables, basketball machines, a dedicated game room with more arcade games including Pac-Man to take you on a nostalgia trip. Bowling is priced from Dhs65 per person, per game.

Wavehouse
The new Wavehouse at Atlantis, The Palm is a fine place for a game of tenpins. The money and effort they invested to elevate the place to entertainment centre level is evident; there’s an enormous bar, a ping-pong area, multi-level arcade games, and soft play area for children – and that’s just inside. Outside there’s more seating, and a massive wave machine. On a recent visit, the lanes were packed with enthusiastic bowlers.
Atlantis, The Palm, from Dhs70 per person or Dhs420 per lane, per hour. Tel: (04) 4261166. atlantisthepalm.com
The 44, Hilton Al Habtoor City
Fancy a game at the world’s highest bowling alley? You’re in the right spot. Located within an American-style sports bar, you’ll find a double-lane alley complete with pool and pinball tables. A weekly ladies’ night on Tuesdays keeps the lively vibe going throughout the week. During the week bowling is Dhs35 per person, per game. On weekends bowling is Dhs80 per person, per game.

Dubai International Bowling Centre
The Daddy of Dubai’s bowling centres, DIBC opened way back in 2001 and attracts both the seasoned bowlers and weekend enthusiasts with its leagues, parties and long opening hours. It’s got a whopping 36 lanes. You’ll also find a bowling pro shop inside in case you fancy your own kit.

Yalla! Bowling
Focused on family fun, Mall Of The Emirates’ Yalla! Bowling is a pretty standard affair. The venue has several bowling lanes, arcade machines, and cosmic bowling for all UV-loving neon-ravers. There are 12 lanes that have cutting-edge video simulations so you can really get stuck into the game and see what you’re doing right and where you need to improve. If you’re feeling peckish, well you’re in a mall, so options abound. Be warned: It’s very loud, and crowded with you young children and teens.
Mall Of The Emirates, weekdays 10am to 10pm, weekends 10am to 12am, from Dhs30. Tel: (04) 3414000. magicplanetmena.com

Al Nasr LeisureLand
Just behind American Hospital in Oud Metha is a barebones traditional alley that’s great for families and neighbourhood folks alike. It’s one of just a couple of alleys serving alcohol and truly worth a visit if you want to see retro Dubai, not gussied up with neon signs and interactive screens. Naturally, the place has seen better days and could use some freshening up, but for nostalgia factor it’s still one of the city’s favourites.
Oud Metha, daily 9am to 11pm, Dhs25 per person per game. Tel: (04) 3371234. alnasrll.com
