Love’s requisite in every relationship. Yet, this phenomenon rises and dips. Affection and attention are good ways to kindle and rekindle the love in your relationship. And there are different ways to show your spouse affection and pay them attention. Taking them to Dubai and spending quality time with them there should be, by far, one of the best options.

Truly, if you take your spouse to Dubai, particularly to the special places discussed here, your spouse can’t forget the experience.

The more pressing question however is where the romantic places in Dubai are. This is the crux of the article. And before our getting in however, we discuss why Dubai is special.

Dubai

Beautiful Dubai
Dubai

Seven questions before we start; seven questions before we discuss where to take your lover in Dubai. Where’s the world’s tallest building? Where’s the world’s most luxurious hotel? Where’s the world’s tallest choreographed fountain? Where’s the world’s biggest picture frame? Where’s the world’s fastest police cars? Where’s the world’s longest urban zip line? Where’s the world’s busiest airport in terms of international passengers? They’re all in Dubai. Apart from the largest, the city boasts some of the rarest destinations.

Given the foregoing, it is little wonder then that the cosmopolitan Arabian city is sung and the world’s fourth most visited. Dubai is like a dazzling SimCity boasting magnificent attractions. Its posh skyline and chic landscape are to be reckoned with. The city prides on security. It is one of the rare cities in the world where you can get back properties forgotten in a public place. It was recently reported that a Dubai bus driver found and returned AED250,000 ($68,000+), diligently.

The Arabian pride is about the only city where police officers use the Bugatti Veyron, the Bentley, the Ferrari, the Lamborghini etc in police service. In truth, the dynamic city cannot be eclipsed by any city.

When the big brands are looking for a new place, especially a foreign place, to establish a new destination or a copy of an already existing one, Dubai is the choice. Recently, in this connection, Urban Outfitters opened in Dubai. There has also been a Dubai version of the Atlantis, a hotel that was first seen in the Bahamas.

The foregoing said, we get into the crux.

And with Dubai not disappointing, you have the man-made Love Lake Dubai, which is personally recommended by the crown prince of Dubai, Shaikh Hamdan Bin Mohammad Bin Rashid Al Maktoum, himself. After the park’s launching in 2018, it quickly started attracting visitors.

Rightly christened, it’s in the shape of two intertwined hearts or loves covering the area of about 550,000 square meters. And since it’s a place truly dedicated to love, at the southern part of the lake is the spelling of “Love”, so you’re not left in doubt. As though to complement things, the lake boasts trees that are in the shape of love. A quick check on Google Earth shows that the “Love Lake” is visible from miles away.

Located in the desert, and away from the bustle, hustle and blistering of the city, Love Lake Dubai is serene and peaceful, allowing of a relaxing, refreshing and private atmosphere.
