8 unique date ideas in Dubai
Tired of dinner and a movie? Indoor date ideas that actually give you something to talk about.
The best dates are the ones you still talk about a month later. That usually means doing something together, not just sitting across a table.
The list
Indoor, mostly air-conditioned, and none of them involve a menu.
01
Smash a room together
Gear up side by side and break rescued electronics and glass in your own private room. The Partners in Crime package is made for two: 1 TV, 1 CPU, 1 printer and 20 glass items. Hard to stay awkward when you are both holding sledgehammers.
Book Partners in Crime
Take a cooking class
Learn a cuisine together and eat what you make. Dubai has classes for everything from Emirati dishes to sushi.
Try a pottery class
Slow, messy in a good way, and you leave with something you made together.
Do an escape room
Work as a team against the clock. A good test of how you solve problems together.
Fly indoors at iFLY Dubai
