Fancy a walk date? (We know Nour from Love is Blind Habibi doesn’t lol).
If you like those on the other hand, we have found some nice routes where you can walk and get to know your date a bit better without the noise of a crowded restaurant, or the pressure of having to dress up for a fancy place.
Here are the best routes for your next walking date in Dubai.
Kite Beach
We ❤️ it because: To be honest, walking along the beach hits different. The beach is simply a romantic place, especially at sunset. Imagine walking, feeling the warm sand under your feet, listening to the waves slowly crashing on the shore and just talking to your date. We bet you will be more relaxed and automatically less nervous because of the soothing surroundings. Def worth trying out for your next date.
Jumeirah Lake Towers
We ❤️ it because: Not only can you walk literally everywhere in this area, but you also have easy access to restaurants and supermarkets if your walking date has gone well and you want to extend it with a nice dinner. Or if you want to buy some snacks and drinks and have a little picnic in one of their parks next to a lake. Sounds amazing, amirite?
Love lakes
We ❤️ it because: Well, the name speaks for itself. The lakes are literally shaped like a heart *so cute*. You can walk around them and even cross them (but your legs have to be underwater). Around the lakes, there are nice grassy areas where you can sit down when you need a break.
Palm Jumeirah
We ❤️ it because: You can enjoy 11km of boardwalk on the seafront and then head to Atlantis The Palm for a coffee and some delicious sweet treats or, if you want to go all out, The Atlantis Royal. Perhaps Nour would be open to the idea.
Burj Park
We ❤️ it because: Talk about a view. Overlooking the majestic Burj Khalifa, Burj Park has to be one of the best routes for a walking date. With the fountains right next to the walkway, you can easily catch one of the amazing fountain shows.
Bluewaters Island
We ❤️ it because: There is no shortage of things to do in this area. As well as the walking trail, which offers some of the best views of the Dubai Eye, there are plenty of restaurants and fun activities to try across the island including Brass Monkey where you can play arcade games or bowl.
Dubai Marina
We ❤️ it because: A perfect walk with skyscrapers all around you. Marina is always a good place to spend time. You can walk around and stop at a nice cafe, sit outside, enjoy the view and yap about your life.
Dubai Creek Harbour
We ❤️ it because: Walking with the fantastic Dubai skyline in the background sounds great, doesn’t it? With plenty of restaurants to stop and grab a bite in the area. It’s the perfect way to combine a walk with a nice breakfast, lunch or dinner afterwards. They have it all.
