Planning Your 2024 Honeymoon in Dubai: A Quick Guide
Your honeymoon is perhaps the single most important holiday you will ever take – and should be the single most memorable as a result. In marrying your significant other, you are signifying a life combined; this magical ceremony deserves the most magical of celebrations.
Choosing your honeymoon destination is difficult, though, given the importance of the occasion and the many other decisions you may also be making simultaneously. However, a clear contender has emerged recently for a luxuriant honeymoon experience like no other: Dubai.
Dubai has enjoyed a meteoric rise up the ranks of desirable holiday destinations, as world-first engineering projects continue to expand this ever-growing city of wealth and luxury. Its golden sands are as tempting as its haute cuisine and incredible architecture. But how might you plan such a bucket-list holiday with your beau?
Budgeting For Your Trip
Firstly, and necessarily, though, you will need to approach your Dubai honeymoon from a budgetary perspective. Dubai is not quite known for its affordability; indeed, it is widely recognized as one of the most expensive cities in the world, both to live in and to holiday in. While you may be going to enjoy a week or fortnight of marital luxury, you will also be paying for it – which makes preliminary budgeting an essential part of your honeymoon planning.
It is unlikely that you’ll be paying for such a lavish trip cash-in-hand. Some money from the Bank of Mum and Dad may be going towards both your wedding and your post-wedding pursuits, and you may be receiving monetary gifts instead of household gifts at your reception. Still, you may need a little extra boost to cover travel and accommodation – which is where a secured loan can come in handy, provided you have the means and plan to pay it off on your return.

Choosing When to Travel
The next part of your pre-honeymoon administration relates to the ‘when’ of your trip: when should you head for your glitzy Dubai retreat? Traditionally, honeymoons happen straight after the wedding, so your honeymoon planning may already be somewhat locked into your wedding planning.
It is important to acknowledge, though, that certain times of year are less desirable than others to visit Dubai. If you have a July or August wedding, you might want to postpone your honeymoon a month or so, as the summer months in Dubai can be uncomfortably hot – and humid to boot. With the ‘when’ sorted, we finally get to the fun question: how should you consider spending your Dubai honeymoon?
How Best to Honeymoon in Dubai
There are so many different ways to ‘do’ Dubai, and all of them might appeal to you and yours as you finalize your honeymoon arrangements. But which activities are must-haves for your travel itinerary? For one, a trip up the Burj Khalifa should not be turned down, being the single tallest structure in the world and a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to stand so tall over a city.
The Dubai Miracle Garden is another must-visit, being the biggest natural flower garden in the world. Between the day-to-day luxury of Dubai and these showstopping attractions, this honeymoon destination certainly does not do anything by halves.
