Honeymoon in the UAE
Experience the romance of the desert! The arid Arabian landscapes, the futuristic cities with a dash of tradition combine to make a captivating honeymoon in the UAE…
Why Go
Mix barefoot‐beach time with sky-high luxury, futuristic cities and desert adventures – this is a UAE honeymoon.
Dubai is dazzling with theme parks, museums, epic malls and rooftop pools.
Slide into honeymoon bliss at Aquaventure or Wild Wadi waterparks, wander the souks at Dubai Creek, and watch the sunset from the Burj Khalifa as the Dubai Fountain dances.
Drift over the dunes in a sunrise hot-air balloon, book a cabana at the world’s highest infinity pool, or even skydive. For stays: go Downtown for short stopovers; choose Jumeirah Beach, The Walk or Dubai Marina for longer trips; or pick The Palm for resort-style bliss.
Abu Dhabi, the capital, is full of culture and a bit more calm. Marvel at Louvre Abu Dhabi, visit the Sheikh Zayed Grand Mosque, and unwind on Saadiyat or Yas Island – both perfect for beach days with luxe hotels and great dining.
Beyond the big hitters, the smaller emirates – Ajman and Ras Al Khaimah – have relaxed luxury resorts, rugged mountain hikes, dune-bashing safaris and Musandam Dibba cruises.
Is the UAE good for a honeymoon? A honeymoon in the UAE has endless possibilities and is perfect for lovers of luxury hotels, beaches, endless activities, incredible dining and desert adventures.
