Are you planning on heading to the UAE for a romantic time? A common misconception is that it is a highly conservative country. While it does have strong Islamic values, there's plenty of room for romance. Here are some ideas!
Nothing screams truly authentic Abu Dhabi like a dhow cruise. This is your opportunity to wade through the calm waters, passing by the serene city. In the early years, a dhow was used as a trade vehicle; today, a dhow cruise is said to be a symbol of all things romantic! Most of the time, a dhow cruise comprises a mouth-watering dinner spread to end the activity, either lunch or dinner. The best time to embark on a romantic cruise would be around the time of the sunset, as the sky experiments with splendid colours beyond the skyline of Abu Dhabi.
High points are always romantic! Observation Deck at 300 is no different, offering mesmerising views of the surrounding city. Said to be the highest vantage point in the city, this observation deck is a must-visit with your partner as you will get to indulge in truly uninterrupted views of Abu Dhabi, after which you can have a memorable high tea experience or sip a few cocktails! Try and spot the Arabian Gulf and the Corniche!
The best part about the Emirates Park Zoo is that it has the best of both worlds! Home to a large number of exhibits and unique wildlife, the zoo also has a special place for pet animals! This is ideal if you are also going with your children. If you and your partner are animal lovers, then the Emirates Park Zoo must make it to your itinerary.
If you're staying at Anantara Sir Bani Yas Island Al Yamm Villa Resort, or simply there for a wedding in Abu Dhabi, you must make time to visit Yas Island! There are several activities to do here, and some of them are extremely entertaining. Yas Island is more suited to couples who are adventurous and seek some adrenaline-rushing activities! With plenty of watersport options and indoor skydiving, you are both in for a memorable time!
Yas Mall is for couples who love to shop till they drop! It is one of the renowned shopping malls in Abu Dhabi. The mall itself is an adventure, as it is laid out like plazas, boulevards, and streets, which gives a unique twist to mall experiences. There are plenty of international and local brands within the mall, in addition to a state-of-the-art food court and up to 15 high-end restaurants! There are also plenty of events, which are held in the mall throughout the year, so you can check beforehand to see if there are any you'd like to be a part of as a couple and plan your day in advance!
