Weddings in the United Arab Emirates
Across the United Arab Emirates, weddings take place in grand hotel ballrooms, coastal resorts, landscaped gardens and selected desert retreats. The country's seven emirates offer strikingly different settings, from contemporary architecture overlooking the Arabian Gulf to mountain landscapes, historic districts and secluded stretches of coastline.
Dubai is known for its extraordinary skyline and luxury hospitality, while Abu Dhabi combines monumental architecture with island resorts and cultural landmarks. Ras Al Khaimah offers mountains, desert scenery and beaches, and Fujairah faces the Gulf of Oman beneath the Hajar Mountains. Beyond the major cities, traditional souks, historic forts and desert settlements reveal the country's heritage. The Emirates offer a wedding destination shaped by ambitious modern design and the enduring landscapes of Arabia.
