Wedding & Special Occasions

The UAUAE is home to some of the most romantic wedding “Reception and Blessing” venues in the world. The wonderful mix of ethnic and cultural diversity lends itself to infinite creative possibilities when planning a wedding or special celebration in this idyllic Arabian setting.

Dubai offers a wide choice of bountiful venues to tie the knot. The Burj Al Arab, or in the heart of the Arabian Desert, Al Maha resort, offers the idyllic desert retreat to celebrate your big day. Imagine the soft desert breeze carrying the sounds of a string quartet. The soft orange glow of the Arabian sunset providing the backdrop to the exclusive venue set amid the isolation of the golden sand dunes. Waiters in black tie will bring silver trays of chilled champagne... your wish is their command.


The Arabian shoreline is home to several 5-star properties, each offering impressive and exceptional services to its guests. Set in the exclusive Jumeirah beach suburb, these hotels overlook the Arabian Sea and Palm Jumeirah as well as the iconic, sail-inspired Burj al Arab positioned as a breathtaking backdrop.

The repertoire of the unique wedding reception venues would not be complete without mentioning the luxurious yachts and sailing boats moored in Dubai’s marinas. Whether you are looking for a unique way to arrive or depart at your reception or perhaps to host your cocktail/dinner party, the luxury aboard these vessels is equivocal to a suite in the world’s finest hotels.

With no shortage of resplendent hotels, Dubai also offers bespoke venues that provide the backdrop to a truly unique wedding. Whether you choose to celebrate in a traditional Arabian fort, at the foot of the Hajar Mountains or aboard an Arabic Dhow, every location bestows a wealth of Arabic customs and hospitality. Arabian Explorers can provide dedicated services to make sure your day goes without a hitch.

A delightful city-fusing new and old world customs, Dubai presents today’s discerning couples a choice of weddings and celebrations that are traditional or contemporary, lavish or austere, set in a quintessential location.
