Celebrating Valentine’s Day in Dubai – our recommendations
Here are 6 activities to make this year’s Valentine’s Day special!
Haunted house? Why not?
We challenge you to try to stay 10 mins in the haunted manor. You can show who has a braver heart and also, faint-hearted people are a total no-no for this. If you both love a horror movie night and enjoy the thrill, why not have it in real life as well. Also, don’t forget to make a bet and know who is the better horror fanatic!
We chose the one of the kind Hysteria Haunted House! How is it different from others? Well, the one living there is actually looking for.
Backstory: The kids of the manor are disappearing and the parents are in hysteria. They believe you know where their kids are. Your nightmares are going to be real as you may be taken by the family and the spirits of the deceased children themselves may just drop to say hi.
A particular time limit is not set in Hysteria, you can stay as long as you can. You can walk through 15 rooms of the mansion, but most people haven’t survived longer than 10 minutes. Also, if you feel any kind of distress you can exit through any room or alert any of the staff members. Most of the team members at Hysteria are certified first-aid and basic life support qualified and are trained to respond to emergencies.
Location:
- Hysteria Haunted Attraction, 2nd Floor, The Dubai Mall, Sheikh Zayed Road, Dubai, United Arab Emirates.
Operating hours:
- Saturday to Wednesday: 10 AM to Midnight.

With the help of the legendary artistic director, Franco Dragone of Le Reve in Las Vegas and The House Of Dancing Water in Macau, these breathtaking performances are created. The beauty and talents will make you awe. Certainly, one of the best places to visit for Valentine’s Day in Dubai to make it an unforgettable one.
