In the land of Arabs, love is always in the air. In most parts, lovers celebrate on Valentine’s day. But love blossoms all year round here in Dubai, where all the colors of love shine bright.
Romantic Things To Do In Dubai
1. Film Screening at Claw BBQ
Claw BBQ does not only serve some of the most delicious food in Dubai, it also matches its menu with a great movie. Claw BBQ is situated at Claw, Souk Al Bahar, Downtown Dubai. It is a lovely restaurant with beautiful ambiance and food. The menu changes alongside the highlighted movie of the night. This sets for a perfect romantic dinner setting for couples.
2. Hot Air Balloon Ride
If you’ve heard of “love is in the air,” here in Dubai they make it quite literal. The Hot Air Balloon Ride is one romantic thing that you can do. You’ll fly over the Salomon dunes, with its picturesque views of the Dubai Desert Safari and a great sunset to boost. If you do not want to wake up early, no need to worry! The desert looks equally stunning in the evening.
3. Chillout Lounge Dubai
The Chillout Lounge by the Sharaf Group is the first ice lounge in the Middle East. It has finally reopened with major and awesome changes. A restaurant made fully in ice – a truly unique experience in the middle of the desert. From ice sculptures, seats, and tables, the interior will surely cool you down. That makes for another reason to huddle closer to your loved one.
4. Walk on the Beach
Wanna get out of the bustle of the city but don’t have much time? Head out to JBR Dubai Marina Beach. Walk along the beachside and enjoy the sea breeze for a relaxing activity. You can also enjoy the food stalls and shops around the Marina.
5. Dhow Cruise Dinner
Dubai is a shipping city where you will find more Abras than Dhows. Abras are small traditional boats used for fishing. Dhows are their bigger counterpart. And you can use them as your romantic set-up for a dinner in the middle of the sea. The hospitality and the food that they offer is none less than a 5-star hotel. The added advantage is that all this starts right from your hotel gate and roams around the sea, giving you a beautiful scenery while enjoying your dinner.
6. Overnight Desert Safari
Cap that wonderful day with an overnight desert safari in Dubai- the cherry on top of the cake. Ride out on a Land Rover to the desert wildlife for a different experience of Arabian Night Desert Safari. Bask in a truly unique Arab experience, while enjoying some local cuisine and some belly dancing performance.
7. Romantic Dinner In Bhuj Al Arab
Have a romantic dinner with the Dubai Skyline view from a private sitting area. An exquisite experience that you can customize- from personalized settings, messages to the food served. A nice candle arrangement of different shapes flowers on top of the table and some anniversary gifts waiting for you. There is a dedicated team of waiters and sommelier to look after you. These along with a delicious 6-course meal and a photographer. Surely, that cannot be matched anywhere.
8. Go On A Spa Date
Regenerate yourselves with a spa date. Enjoy different kinds of spa services available around the city. You can go for Indian, Thai, Chinese, Ayurvedic, or Acupressure- you have it in Dubai. Make it also a Couple Spa or Paired Spa to boost your love connection in your hectic life.
9. Tour the City in A Helicopter
Wanna get higher? Get a view of the city of Dubai from a helicopter! Flying above the skyscrapers of the city of Dubai and witnessing the major landscapes from the sky is an amazing experience. It lets you see all the major tourist destinations in Dubai in one scope! This makes it a small journey in itself.
10. Romantic Date on a Yacht
Wanna be fancier? Go for a yacht! Yacht services are offered by different firms both for groups and couples. A luxurious yacht for a couple can be a vivacious night to spend with your partner. As the sun sets the tropical sea turns blue to glittering dark blue accompanied by a slow breeze of the sea makes the environment even more romantic. Treated like royalty, all this will make your romantic date the one to be remembered.
Final Thoughts!
The land of fairy tales seems to come true for couples with such romantic destinations which they can enjoy here in Dubai. If you are planning your second honeymoon, an anniversary date, or to start a blossoming relationship, this could be the place you would be searching for.

Wow all of those things look great ! I’d die to get in a hot air balloon !
Thanks. I said the same thing about the hot air balloon!
You had me at the first 3 ! How I would wish for a great movie – dinner date or a hot air balloon ride or that ice sculpture lounge ! Do they have a dress code for the last one ? I would love to visit some day soon
Hot air balloon and the Chillout Lounge excite me too! Hope we get to experience these someday…
Years ago, I didn’t really care about Dubai, mainly because I didn’t know much about it. Until blogging happened and many of my friends, suddenly visiting or moving in there, and flooding their social media accounts with photos of Dubai. I then realized that it’s popular for a reason, it’s modern, it’s posh, and now with this post, I found out it’s romantic too. What appealed to me the most is the overnight in the desert safari. I have several friends who tried it and they were all gushing about the experience, so yeah I wanna do that too. Hopefully, with a partner. 😉
I felt the same way! I also didn’t care about Dubai, until my cousins urged me to visit them 8 years ago! And I’m glad I did. Dubai is really a lovely place.
Interesting list. I never associated Dubai with so much romance.. ha ha. But the notion is changing. Hot air balloon, couple spa and the BBQ do sound very interesting.
I know right?! Dubai now caters to all types of travelers to boost their tourism industry and economy.
Hi
Thank you for sharing this valuable details with us. I am myself a dubai travel blogger and these details are very genuine.
Thank you so much! Appreciate the kind words!
I have so many relatives in Dubai, and everyone has been urging me to visit them. This post has got me thinking that I should do it soon! I would love to go and experience the Arabian Night Desert Safari, and also mesmerize the beauty of their beach, overlooking the Burj Al Arab Jumeirah. ❤️
Ha! It was also my relatives in Dubai who urged me to travel to Dubai. I’ve been there several times and it never ceases to amaze me.
Hope you get to visit this beautiful city (not in the summer though)!
I know that there’s more to do and experience in Dubai, but this post is something a visitor would never miss of when visiting Dubai. I love to traipse my feet on the beach while listening to the waves kissing the coast. The Hot Air Ballon and Cruise dinner is somehow amazing and interesting. I never had tried having dinner while cruising, it must really fulfilling. I hope I can visit Dubai soon. Thank you so much for sharing this with us.
I agree. Dubai is constantly improving, and more architectures are being built – thus, more things to do for locals and tourists. I also hope you get to visit Dubai in the future.
I love these romantic ideas so much! We plan to visit Dubai this year, haven’t been yet! Now I know how to surprise my husband! Your post gave me some serious wanderlust for the weekend! Pinned and hope you don’t mind me sharing it on Twitter!
Have a wonderful weekend!

Thank you for sharing. Appreciate it. Enjoy Dubai! I hope you’ll have a great time! x
Dubai seems fantastic! Hopefully someday I find a reason to get there.
Hopefully! It is a great place!
Dubai has never really appealed to me but you’ve definitely explored a different side from the usual articles about super malls!
I agree! Sad to say, that’s (supper malls) how they attract tourists.
An interesting and very enticing way to visit Dubai and even more enticing is that you did not mention the word retail 🙂
Yeah. Thanks Suzanne. Always appreciate the kind words.
