With Valentine’s Day around the corner, we are sure you are leaving no stone unturned to make your love feel special. However, if you are planning to propose to her, this list of the most romantic places in Dubai is sure to make your day memorable. From a luxurious dinner underwater to a simple proposal under a moon-lit sky at the Al Qudra lake, there’s something for everyone!
1. Say It In The Sky
Take your love to a whole new level with a hot air balloon proposal. Pop the question mid-air as you float in a customized balloon decked with flower bouquets, red carpet, roses, and a live acoustic violinist. How romantic is that! Most of the hot air balloon rides are scheduled in the mornings. So get set for a fairy tale proposal against a spectacular sunrise. Winters are considered ideal for ballooning as they offer crystal clear views of desert dunes, sunrise, mountains on the southeast and the skyline of Dubai on the northwest side.
Don’t forget to carry your wallet, a hat, sunglasses, water bottle, a pair of binoculars and a camera. Make sure you are dressed in comfortable clothing. Carry a jacket as it will be windy up there. That said, don’t end up layering yourself as you will also have to walk a bit once you land.
2. Private Dinner Under The Stars
What could be more romantic than a private dinner with your special someone under the stars? Select from private romantic locations throughout Melia Desert Palm Hotel and enjoy a private dining experience with a personal chef and waiter in a special Spanish veranda with waterfall views in a Mediterranean style dining space, or experience a private dinner amongst the desert dunes with Nara Escapes.
3. Underwater Dinner At Ossiano
With floor to ceiling views of one of the biggest aquariums in the world, Ossiano is the ultimate picturesque spot to pop the question. A diver can be arranged to display a placard with a message of your choice.
4. Hatta Mountains
Whether it’s at sunrise or at sunset, a shared romantic moment in Hatta surrounded by the Hajar Mountains is definitely a perfect moment to get down on one knee. Trek along the wadis at the foothills of the mountains and share a ruggedly romantic experience with your loved one.
5. Skydive
Plan a thrilling, adrenalin spiked adventure with your special someone and take their breath away with a surprise proposal in the sky! What better way to start the first day of the rest of your lives together than with a marriage proposal at 13,000 feet?
5. Seaplane Or Helicopter Ride
A sky-high romance always wins. Have your partner feeling on top of the world and pop the question during a seaplane or helicopter ride.
6. On Water
Book an Abra to take you across the Dubai Creek or a luxury yacht to sail across the pristine waters of the Arabian Gulf and wait for the perfect moment at sunset to pop the question leaving your partner absolutely breathless.
7. Al Qudra Love Lakes
For a more low key proposal, pack a picnic and head down to Al Qudra Love Lakes, a perfect spot for a perfect moment.
