Abu Dhabi, United Arab Emirates A sunset stroll along the Abu Dhabi Corniche is a perfect starter to an evening of romantic extravagance. For a flash of the X-Factor, secure a table at Hakkasan (a fancy and expensive restaurant) situated in the opulent Emirates Palace. As a precaution, bring your sunglasses to dinner as there is so much gold everywhere you might be blinded by the time you reach dessert. Cap off the night with a serene stroll around the awe-inspiring Sheikh Zayed Grand Mosque Center, as it is open until 10 p.m. throughout most of the year. Image Source: Unsplash / Juliana
