Best Party Hostels in Africa & Middle East

Best Party Hostels in Africa & Middle East: The Complete Guide

Africa and the Middle East span 5 cities across one of the world's most diverse regions. Cape Town leads the African hostel scene. Long Street's strip of backpacker bars and hostels delivers club nights, rooftop sundowners, and pub crawls that rival anything in Europe. Dorm beds from $10/night make it exceptional value. We review 24 hostels across the region.

North Africa adds Marrakech, where riad hostels host rooftop parties with views over the medina and Jemaa el-Fna square. Morocco's Atlantic coast towns (Essaouira, Taghazout) combine surf culture with budget backpacker lodges. Egypt's Dahab offers Red Sea diving by day and beachfront bar sessions by night.

Tel Aviv is the Middle East's undisputed nightlife capital. The Florentine neighbourhood and beachfront promenade host a club scene that runs from Thursday through Saturday morning without pause. Abraham Hostel Tel Aviv (rated 9.0+ by guests) sets the regional standard for organised social events. Zanzibar, Accra, and Addis Ababa are emerging destinations that reward early adopters.
