For a more perfect beach experience, make sure you pack some light food, snacks and some wine to the beach and enjoy a little picnic with your lover.

Tourism is not all about site seeing and touring. You need to give your body, soul and spirit some special treatment and pampering with a lovely romantic spa treatment. Relax with and book yourself a couple’s massages. Notable spas in Dubai include the club Olympus spa, the raffles spa, Residence & Spa, Dubai at One&Only Royal Mirage.
