Automatic restaurant near Karama does 24/7 Lebanese but most Dubai spots shut by 1am. After midnight, head to JBR Walk where Café Bateel and Shake Shack stay open past 2am.

The beachfront promenade transforms at night - no crowds, just the sound of waves and lit towers reflecting off Dubai Marina. Security patrols keep it safe for solo walks even at 3am when the rest of the city sleeps.
