Move over Paris: Dubai is the city of romance.

Sure, you could opt for a chilled out high-end meal, but why not check out some of these more usual date ideas instead?

Bateaux Dubai
Who hasn’t watched Titanic and wished they were Jack and Rose (minus the dying at sea part, of course)? Bateaux Dubai is a floating, air-conditioned restaurant that gives diners the experience of sailing through one of Dubai’s most important and beautiful sites, the Dubai Creek, while enjoying a fine dinner and drinks.
Hot air balloon ride
For those who feel they are on cloud nine in love, why not make this feeling more literal and actually head up into the sky? Taking a hot air ballon ride over the endless sand dunes is a memorable Dubai experience. Private and group trips are available. A hot air ballon ride also makes for an ideal proposal scene, so why not hit up the Gold Souk and look at rings before or after?
Overnight desert safari
Dubai has no shortage of desert safari companies, which are popular with tourists. Staying overnight in the desert can make for a fun date. Dine in the desert, dune bash, ride camels, and watch belly dancing shows, all while enjoying each other’s company.
Spa date
For couples looking to relax together and feel refreshed, hit up one of Dubai’s luxury spas. There are hundreds around the city, most with couples’ suites that include massages, hot tubs, saunas and more. This is the perfect date for those not only wanting to pamper their loved one but also themselves.
