Love Lake Dubai,Dubai
Love Lake Dubai is a modern landscape architecture project symbolizing romance and creativity in the heart of Dubai's desert. Created as part of the Al Qudra Lakes area and aligned with the Al Marmoom Conservation Reserve's eco-conscious developments, it showcases Dubai's blend of urban planning, leisure tourism, and desert ecology. The site serves as a recreational escape for residents and visitors and contributes to local biodiversity by adding planted greenery and water features in an otherwise arid environment.
Places to visit
- Heart-shaped twin lakes (the iconic view best seen from nearby dunes or with a drone)
- Surrounding desert dunes and cycling trails offering scenic outback views
- Lush landscaping and planted palm groves contrasting with the desert
- Picnic and BBQ areas for family and group outings
- Sunrise and sunset vistas over the lake and surrounding desert
Unique Aspects
- The heart-shaped design visible from elevation or aerial photography
- A network of unsealed roads and cycling tracks suitable for mountain biking and off-road cycling

Best Time to Visit
October to April — cooler months with pleasant mornings and evenings; avoid peak summer (June–September) due to extreme heat.
Weather Conditions
Desert climate: hot, dry summers (40°C / 104°F and above) and mild, pleasant winters (15–25°C / 59–77°F). Evenings can be cool in winter months.
Accessibility
Located south of Dubai city near Al Qudra Road (D63). Best accessed by private car or taxi; ample unpaved parking near the site. Public transport is limited — nearest metro is far. Roads nearby are suitable for regular cars, but some tracks are sandy; 4x4 recommended for extensive off-road travel. Mobile signal may be patchy in places.
Recommended Duration
Plan 2–4 hours for a visit (short photoshoot or picnic); half-day if combining cycling or nature walks; full day if exploring Al Qudra Lakes and nearby reserves.
Clothing & Gear Tips
Light, breathable clothing in warmer months; layers for cool desert evenings. Bring sun protection (hat, sunglasses, sunscreen), plenty of water, a picnic blanket, sturdy shoes for walking on sand, and a portable shade or umbrella if staying long. If using a drone, carry required permits and extra batteries.
Local Food & Souvenirs
No food outlets on-site — bring your own picnic or packed food. Nearby Dubai suburbs (e.g., Arabian Ranches, Al Qudra) have cafes and supermarkets. Souvenirs are best purchased in the city: traditional items like dates, Arabic sweets, and local handicrafts.
