Couples Activities in Dubai
Ah, Dubai… the sun-kissed city known for its extravagant lifestyle, hot weather and cloud-piercing skyscrapers. But there’s one thing that this magical place is known for that often gets swept under the Arabian carpet: it’s the perfect spot for romance.
Looking to date? Many of the city’s expats are young, single and ready to mingle. Looking for some elite companionship? The emirate is home to many Dubai escorts, each ready to make your evening the best it can be. Visiting with a life-long partner? There’s much to see and do in this modern city of glamour.
Which brings us to our next question: What are the best romantic things to do in Dubai for couples? Join us as we explore some of the top venues and unique activities guaranteed to impress your other half.
Helicopter Ride Above the City
Where to Book: We advise booking through HeliDubai Helicopter Tours
Let’s get the fairly obvious idea out of the way, shall we? Yes, it’s a certified classic, but for good reasons: a helicopter ride above Dubai is thrilling, pulse-pounding and extremely romantic.
Cruising through the sky in a chopper may just be the best way to take in the beautiful sights Dubai has to offer. Taking in all the iconic landmarks and breathtaking views of the coastline in one evening is nigh on impossible when on foot. In a helicopter, however, you can do it all in just 12 minutes… and those 12 minutes will be much more thrilling and memorable.
Dubai Desert Conservation Reserve
Where: E-66, Dubai Al Ain Highway, Murqqab Exit 50, Dubai Desert Conservation Reserve, Dubai, UAE
People who often visit Dubai say they experienced all there is to offer… or so they think. What they don’t realise is that the true beauty of this emirate lies outside the city… in the form of the Dubai Desert Conservation Reserve.
Occupying over 4% of all Dubai land, this grand national reserve was established to protect the habitat and various endangered species. So, if you wish to explore the untamed wilds of the desert with a partner, thinking it’ll make for a uniquely romantic evening, we say: a fine choice.
Dine on the dunes under the starry sky… ride a camel before trying your hand at falconry… and put your footwork to the test with some Arabian music and dance. Oh, and if you’re lucky, you might even spot the elusive Arabian oryx - a beautiful species of fauna once classed as extinct in the wild. How’s that for a memorable experience?
A Meal for Two at Pierchic
Where: Jumeirah Al Qasr, Madinat Jumeirah - King Salman Bin Abdulaziz Al Saud St - Umm Suqeim - Dubai - United Arab Emirates
Now this is what fine dining is all about…
Located on the private pier of the Jumeirah Al Qasr, Pierchic is an award-winning waterfront restaurant like no other… a world away from the hustle and bustle of the city. With its serene views of the Arabian Gulf, sublime Italian cuisine, and an atmosphere unmatched in elegance and romance, it’s safe to say that Pierchic is every woman’s dream come true.
Now, this exquisite venue may be a tad pricier than the many other dining options in Dubai, but you can’t put a price tag on experiences like these. So what do you say? Care to make her day?
A Day at Sea on a Private Yacht
Where to Book: We advise booking through Dubriani Dubai
The two of you are on holiday, right? So why not kick back your feet and relax on the open ocean, basking in the sun aboard your very own private yacht? Ah… now we have your attention.
This is what romance is all about - cruising along the Dubai Marina with a gorgeous woman by your side, safe in the hands of an experienced crew. Enjoy a romantic candlelit dinner, have a flirt whilst melodic music plays in the background, and perhaps enjoy a quick dip into the tranquil waters.
If it’s a romantic and elegant date she wants, then that’s exactly what she’ll get…
Sink into Comfort at Nobu by the Beach
Where: Atlantis The Royal - Crescent Rd - Palm Jumeirah - Dubai - United Arab Emirates
A relaxing day in a world-class setting? Sure, why not? Wait - a lush beachfront resort, you say, where one can indulge in spectacular cuisine, signature cocktails and the beauty of Japanese architecture? Now we’re talking.
Nobu by the Beach is, without a doubt, the perfect place for kings and queens to soak up the sun. Sip on Margaritas from the comfort of your private, air-conditioned cabana… cool off in the lagoon pool after basking in the hot sun… and indulge in exquisite culinary masterpieces, crafted by Chef Nobu Matsuhisa himself.
