If you’re going for something classy, Saadiyat Island is a place you can totally go for. It is not that crowded and gives you a blend of nature and luxury. 

The beach there — Saadiyat Public Beach — has these soft white sands that are just made for barefoot pheras or a sunset Nikah. It’s ordinary, beautiful, and feels intimate.

These locations have food trucks, picnic seating, and outdoor sangeet ceremonies included. Hudariyat is great if couples want something modern paired with a relaxed design.

Al Ain is like a total change of pace. It’s not flashy — it’s calm, green, and full of heritage. If you’re into nature and tradition, this place hits different. The Al Ain Oasis is super peaceful, with palm trees and these old-school irrigation channels running through it. It’s a beautiful spot for something spiritual or low-key — like a Nikah or a mehendi surrounded by nature.

And then you’ve got the desert just outside the city — those golden dunes are next-level stunning at sunset. Perfect for couples who want to do something a little more offbeat, maybe even a desert reception under the stars. It’s all about that earthy, soulful vibe out here.

This one’s for the couples who want their wedding to feel like a proper escape. Nurai Island is this private little slice of paradise just a 15-minute boat ride from the city. It is the definition of peace with white sand and clear blur water. You can celebrate on a secluded beach or even a clifftop with an ocean view.

Nurai Island in not overly done, it’s just elegant in a barefoot-luxury style. If you want a tropical and dreamy affair without flying across the world, Nurai has got you.

You probably know the Corniche as the place for evening walks, but honestly, it’s got some really sweet little corners for weddings too. This place has a public park along the water which is great for an intimate ceremony held beside the sea and the city skyline on the other side.

You can also find fountains and gazebos with greenery all around at Heritage park. This place is considered as a hidden germ for the chill vibe it gives off.

Now this is for the couples who want something seriously epic. The Empty Quarter is the kind of place that makes you feel tiny in the best way — just endless dunes as far as you can see. Imagine your pheras or Nikah on top of a dune during golden hour, with the wind blowing and everything glowing.

If you want a raw, real and magical affair, Rub’ al Khali is your spot. It has tents, bonfires, and whatnot. Great for small groups, this place provide adventure for folks who want to make their wedding unforgettable.
