Honeymoon Tips for Dubai
- Always tell hotels you’re on honeymoon — expect complimentary room upgrades and treats
- Book a desert dinner under the stars as your special evening
- Avoid school holiday peaks (UK half-terms, Christmas) for better service and lower prices
- Consider a split stay: beach hotel first, then city hotel
