From the bright lights of Dubai and Abu Dhabi to the rolling sand dunes of the Empty Quarter, the United Arab Emirates is an uber-cool honeymoon destination for adventure-loving newlyweds. Many travellers to this part of the world gravitate to Dubai, a glamorous city that blends together new and old with its ultra-modern skyscrapers, historic districts and charming souqs. Prepare to be mesmerised by the city’s glitzy architecture as you walk through its streets lined with palm trees and colourful bougainvillea flowers and indulge in the exotic beaches, heart-racing adventures, luxurious spas and gastro delights on the city’s doorstep. Beyond Dubai there’s Abu Dhabi – the UAE’s dazzling capital and a millionaire’s playground – and the Empty Quarter, a huge stretch of desert where you can camp beneath the stars, go off-road driving and give sandboarding a go; the United Arab Emirates honeymoons have it all.

United Arab Emirates Honeymoons Guide

Practical advice and inspiration to help you prepare for your holiday

If you’re dreaming of a honeymoon in the sun, then Dubai and its neighbouring emirates are sure to go down a treat. With their white-sand beaches, luxurious resorts and sweeping deserts, there is no shortage of places to explore. While in Dubai, don’t miss a visit to the Burj Khalifa. Claiming the title of the world’s tallest building, it is a whopping 2,720ft-tall and offers breath-taking views from its observation deck, which includes a restaurant and bar so you can toast your nuptials while gazing out over the cityscape below, including the tree-shaped manmade island of Palm Jumeirah.


If heights aren't your thing, leave the city lights behind for a night under a blanket of stars in the Empty Quarter. By day, cross the rolling dunes on a thrilling jeep tour and come night, listen to live music and watch belly dancing performances. If the desert has left you somewhat parched, head to the coast to cruise the Persian Gulf on a luxury yacht. Spend your day sipping champagne and taking in the beautiful views - the perfect way to end your United Arab Emirates honeymoon.
