Wedding in a Burqa and Golden Mountains

Wedding in a Burqa and Golden Mountains

Getting married in the United Arab Emirates is not possible, and having a church wedding even less so. But a honeymoon can be brilliant! First, it will take place in an atmosphere of unprecedented luxury (if, of course, you choose the right hotel). Because Arab luxury is the most luxurious in the world. Second, it will be under the sign of secrecy: in Arab countries, public displays of affection are not welcomed. Public kissing and holding hands are condemned (of course, this does not apply within hotel grounds). Third, you can spend the money gifted at the wedding wisely by making profitable purchases.

But that's not even the main thing. The main thing is that to have an unforgettable honeymoon, you need to change everything-everything-everything: the surroundings, the season, the landscape, the surrounding world along with the usual way of life. The Emirates are perfect: the warm sea is filled with colorful fish, the desert sands invite you to ride camels and watch hunting falcon shows.

Perhaps you'd like a honeymoon from the future to the past? Then choose the Dubai - Fujairah route. First, plunge into the futuristic world of a glittering city, where skyscrapers of glass and steel rise above the Gulf, multi-level overpasses twist above the clay houses of the old city, and spicy oriental bazaars neighbor ultra-modern shopping malls. Here everything has the prefix 'super', exoticism intertwines with high-tech, and Indian silk merchants lay out their colorful goods at the doors of electronics stores. Here you can buy everything your heart desires: oriental carpets, patterned hookahs, spices, jewelry, aromatic essences, incense...

As for gold, in the Deira district there is the Gold Souk - entire streets of shops whose windows are hung with sparkling chains and bracelets. In the Nasser district there are also many small shops filled with treasures like Ali Baba's cave. Moreover, you can find excellent restaurants there. Dubai has over 20 giant shopping malls. There will be plenty to do in the evening: the city is bustling, lights are sparkling, the doors of bars and pubs are open, discos are open. During the day, you can diversify your life with golf or fishing in the Gulf.

You can spend about three days in Dubai, and then go to Fujairah. The route goes through the desert, bordered by the Al Hajar Mountains. This is one of the most beautiful roads in the world: it leads to Jebel Hajar, through the Masafi Pass, along the dry riverbed of Wadi Ham to the ocean. The desert is majestic and beautiful, it cuts off everything seen, draws a line under what has been experienced.

After the desert and mountains, a different reality begins: the emirate of Fujairah is on the coast of the Indian Ocean, with completely different landscapes and different waves. The mountains approach the golden sand beaches, the ocean beckons with amazing coral reefs. Here all hotels offer equipment for scuba diving and fishing (spinning rods, fish finders), including night fishing, yacht cruises. The hotels are on the ocean shore, on beautiful beaches, here reigns an atmosphere of quiet communion with nature.

Besides the beach and the ocean, Fujairah has ancient fortresses and palaces that can be visited. Or you can go on a ride around the area on a camel or along the water's edge on an Arabian steed. In short, it's no wonder that Arabs themselves prefer Fujairah over other emirates for relaxation!

BY THE WAY, to order original wedding invitations, you don't have to go to the United Arab Emirates. For example, the company Crazy Nevesta, which reasonably believes that in such a serious celebration as a wedding there are no small details, offers a selection of various wedding accessories directly on its website.
