The main reason I recommend tourists to go to La Mer at night is that it is at a peak when the sun sets and stars take over the sky. La Mer Dubai night is one of the soothing and aesthetic experiences a tourist can get easily.

A year ago, parking for the public was free in La Mer. The underground parking for the public as convenient for the masses and there was no charge from the administration. However, time never remains the same.
