You have your tried and tested date spots but now you’re looking for\u00a0something different.<\/p>\n

And because there are only so many times you can visit the cinema\u00a0\u00a0(indoor, outdoor, VIP, you’ve tried it all) and\u00a0you’re sick of going out to eat (you’re not actually, but you’ve used up your cheat days for approximately the next six months), we’ve decided to list some of the best quirky date options in Dubai\u00a0that you may not have thought of…<\/p>\n

1.\u00a0Get you game face\u00a0on at\u00a0Rails Dubai<\/h3>\n

Skip dinner and head to this chilled spot in JLT.\u00a0Rails is perfect for a date\u00a0or perfect\u00a0for\u00a0a group of friends to go and hang out.\u00a0Try your hand at\u00a0snooker, PS4, foosball or\u00a0network games…which are all pretty reasonably priced,\u00a0with a\u00a0game of foosball costing only\u00a0AED 3 and\u00a0an hour of PS4 costing\u00a0AED 40….Handy information with pay day still a couple of days away.<\/p>\n

Located at\u00a0Red Diamond Building, Jumeirah Lakes Towers (JLT), Dubai – 04-4237742 – info@rails.ae<\/p>\n

2.\u00a0Try the\u00a0Yellow Boat ‘Night Tours’ – just in time for Halloween<\/h3>\n

Get a unique\u00a0view of the Dubai skyline from Dubai’s famous\u00a0Yellow Boats.\u00a0They\u00a0depart daily\u00a0from the Marina at 6pm, just in time for sunset. The captain of the boat will take you on a\u00a090 minute trip that\u00a0cruises through the\u00a0Palm Jumeirah and offers incredible views\u00a0of the Atlantis hotel and\u00a0the Burj Al Arab.<\/p>\n

The tour costs AED 280 per adult; AED 210 per child and the night tours will run\u00a0from\u00a0Monday October 24 to Monday October 31<\/p>\n

3.\u00a0Purr-suade your date to visit\u00a0Ailuromania Cafe (it’s a cat cafe, and we’re only half sorry about the awful pun)<\/h3>\n

First, check your date is a cat person. If they are, take them here. Dubai’s first Cat Cafe\u00a0is pretty self-explanatory…here you can grab a quick coffee or a bite to eat, all in the presence of some feline company. Check here for more details<\/a> and to see all the cats that call Ailuromania their home.<\/p>\n

Entry charge AED\u00a030, includes a soft drink of your choice.<\/p>\n<\/p>\n

4.\u00a0Show your\u00a0class and book a show at\u00a0Dubai Opera<\/h3>\n

Admittedly there’s nothing much\u00a0‘quirky’ about visiting an opera, but a\u00a0visit to Dubai’s newest performing arts centre\u00a0is sure to impress any date. Whether your interest lies\u00a0in classical music, magic or soul music,\u00a0there’s something to suit all tastes in the coming months. Family musical and theatre act the Impossible takes the stage this week, legendary composer Omar Khairat is performing October 6th and\u00a0soul and pop crooner James Morrison is set to melt some hearts on October 7th.<\/p>\n

5.\u00a0Make a splash\u00a0at\u00a0Dubai Aqua Park at\u00a0The Beach opposite JBR<\/h3>\n

This place looks unreal and is a perfect fun date option for this (hopefully long) weekend coming. Filled with slides, walls, monkey bars, and mega-obstacles, this inflatable water\u00a0park shaped in the Dubai logo is a serious amount of fun. All ages and sizes are welcome, participants must wear life jackets, and access\u00a0costs between AED 50 and AED 195.<\/p>\n

Their website is under construction but you can email here for more info\u00a0jbr@arabianwaterparks.com<\/a><\/p>\n
