Imagine, all the stars have aligned for you to get down on one knee and pop the biggest question of your life. You and your second half are together in one of the most beautiful places in the world — Dubai — packed with unique, romantic spots. In Dubai, there is that perfect place for any taste. If it is a private or intimate setting you are seeking, there is a myriad of options. Or, if you want to make adrenaline run through your veins as you make a proposal, there is no better place than Dubai.
So, what are the best places to propose in Dubai? Here is a list of the spots that will make this big day unforgettable…
1. At the Top of Burj Khalifa
Just like your love has no limits and lifts you up, the place where you propose should do the same. And what can be more uplifting than the tallest building in the world? That’s right, we are talking about the Burj Khalifa. Go to levels 124, 125, or 148 — the highest observation decks in the world. The SKY Lounge at level 148 of Burj Khalifa is the perfect place if you appreciate privacy and want to avoid crowds. A breathtaking skyline view will be open to you at all times; but, for sure, the most fascinating scenery will accompany your proposal closer to sunset. That’s your special moment, so be creative to impress your loved one. You can customize a LED show on the Burj Khalifa building, and/or hire musicians to accompany you with the serenade. Set no limits on your imagination!
2. With a View at the Palm
Plan your special moment at one of the most iconic landmarks of Dubai — the 360-degree platform with a view of Palm Jumeirah. Surprise your second half at the height of 787 feet (240 meters) above the ground and get the desired “Yes.” They even offer customized packages for special occasions such as an engagement.

3. Flying in a Hot-Air Balloon Over the Desert
For a special way to take your relationships to a new level, consider hiring a private hot air balloon over the desert. When the sun rises over the sand, it is the perfect time to admire the majestic wilderness of the desert. That’s when your proposal will make the right wow effect, and it will be a memory you will cherish forever.
4. On a Yacht in the Middle of the Ocean
Open waters, a cool breeze blows through your hair — and then you go down on one knee and ask your loved one to be yours forever. That’s a romantic scenery you may want to recreate when you plan a proposal. Whoever you pick to witness your special moment — sunrise, sunset, or the stars — that’s what both of your will never forget. Popular yachting backdrops include Ain Dubai (the world’s largest Ferris wheel), Atlantis, the Palm Dubai (a glamorous holiday resort), and the Burj Al Arab (the world’s only 7-Star hotel).
5. In the Dubai Miracle Garden
101 roses are nothing if you can surround your second half with more than 150 million flowers in the Dubai Miracle Garden. This is the world’s largest natural flower garden with a total area of 72,000 sq. ft. When you get to the heart-shaped tunnel, it will be the best place to ask the most important question!
6. Michelin-Star Underwater Restaurant: Ossiano
The largest underwater viewing area in Dubai, unconventional and delicious meals — that’s what you get in the Ossiano restaurant in Atlantis The Palm Dubai on Palm Jumeirah. You can make the proposal on your own or arrange an entire performance. At the appointed time, the diver will appear by your table inside the aquarium with a customized sign — the message you want your future fiancee to see. And voila — now it’s time for you to act. This restaurant also offers a fabulous 10-wave tasting menu, wine pairings, non-alcoholic pairings, proposal organization and more.
7. In the Dubai Aquarium
Dive underwater in the Dubai Aquarium located in the Dubai mall to swim with sharks. There are programs for everyone — those who have never dived before and certified divers. Just make sure you ask the instructor to record the special moment with a GoPro so you can share it with your family and friends!
A proposal is a once-in-a-lifetime experience that will be captured in the family memories forever. That is why many people strive to wow their partners with a truly unique proposal they will be proud to share. Dubai is one of the most suitable places to pop the question and get an anticipated “Yes.” But remember — your perfect proposal is not just about the place, it’s about the feelings you convey. Once you settle on a proposal spot, pick the right words to impress your future spouse.
