Galentine’s Day is *not* anti-Valentine’s Day. It’s simply the platonic version of it.
February is the month of love, and love comes in a great variety of forms. Whilst Valentine’s Day is the perfect opportunity to honour your significant other on February 14, Galentine’s is February 13.

Whether you’re patiently waiting for your turn in love or simply seeking to celebrate your besties, Galentine’s Day is a right for *every* gal. Who knows, maybe you’ll even meet your soulmate on the way back from these Galentine’s Dubai bestie date night spots.
