With the heady scent of the perfume and spice souks filling the air, you know you are in Dubai. Dubai honeymoons are ideal for hedonists; from the vast shopping opportunities to the multitude of gourmet restaurants, bars and nightclubs, this is a beach holiday with a twist. Of course, if all you want to do on your honeymoon to Dubai is soak up the sun, there is plenty of opportunity to do so either by the hotel pool or on the shelving Jumeirah beach. Daytime excursions can also be arranged, such as desert safaris, but the best way to explore the city is by bus where you can hop on and off wherever you want. Many spend their time on a honeymoon in Dubai in one of the major shopping centres, packed with lower priced brand name goods and luxury items. Be sure to take some warm clothes with you if you plan on spending lots of time in the shopping malls, as crazy as it sounds, because air conditioning is always turned up high due to the heat. For true authenticity visit one of the gold souqs and try and bag a bargain.

For a taste of old Dubai and the fast regeneration of the city, take a trip to Dubai Museum, complete with a reconstructed old-style souk and authentic sights and sounds. If historical culture doesn’t quite hit the spot for your honeymoon in Dubai, the Wild Wadi Waterpark will thrill big kids of all ages with its exhilarating rides and relaxing lazy river.

As the home of some of the world’s most luxurious hotels, Dubai honeymoon deals are often hard to come by. However, speak to your Personal Travel Counsellor or investigate our hotel deals panel for some of the most competitive prices on the luxury that you deserve for such a special occasion.
