On February 14, Valentine’s Day comes with a range of options for those looking to celebrate. Treat your loved one to a homecooked meal or with a gourmet gift. Alternatively, dine at one of the region’s most romantic restaurants, or splurge on an overnight stay at a locally-based destination offering relaxation and gourmet bliss – we have plenty of ideas to choose from. Next up on February 16, Chinese New Year takes place with venues all over the UAE ringing in the occasion with gorgeous set-menus at great prices.
