A complex on a hill in Jebel Ali with six Christian churches and a gurdwara (Sikh temple) - standing on land donated by the ruling family - becomes a hive of activity on most weekends. It's also become fashionable for affluent European travellers to exchange wedding vows in Dubai's iconic hotels or desert resorts. For many people coming from abroad, they may have got married back in their home country, and they want a thanksgiving or blessing done in Dubai.
Legal & recognised
Muslim, Christian and Hindu ceremonies can all be carried out in Dubai, although differing regulations apply for civil weddings. Muslims can marry at the Dubai Court (the Sharia Court). The groom must be Muslim and the bride can be Christian or Muslim. Christians can marry at a church and the ceremony is recognised by the UAE government.
Honeymoon in Dubai is a beach holiday with a twist, from the vast shopping opportunities to the multitude of gourmet restaurants, bars and nightclubs, to soak up in the sun, there is plenty of opportunity to do so either by the hotel pool or on the shelving Jumeirah beach. Daytime excursions can also be arranged, such as desert safaris, but the best way to explore the city is by bus where you can hop on and off wherever you want. Many spend their time on a honeymoon in Dubai in one of the major shopping centres, packed with lower priced brand name goods and luxury items.
Weather
Do not plan your wedding in Dubai between the months of May and September - It will be too hot and humid and you and your guests will not enjoy themselves.
