The process of getting married in Dubai is quite simple and straight forward. The first basic requirement for getting married is either the bride or the groom has to have a UAE permanent residential permit. This means that one doesn’t necessarily have to hold a UAE citizenship to get married in Dubai.
#2. No Restriction on Religions

Muslim weddings are conducted at the Islamic Courts and the non-Muslim weddings at their various places of worship.
#3. Low Fees

Therefore, the couple getting married must present a valid UAE medical certificate and blood tests from the Ministry of Health’s affiliated medical centres. This is to ensure the health and safety of those getting married, no matter their nationality.
#6. Amazing Scenery
Dubai is blessed with some of the most beautiful landscape and views in the Middle East. It is well known for its golden, sandy beaches. The beach is a great location for a couple that wants an outdoor wedding. This is perfect for non-Muslims whose weddings may be conducted at any location, in the presence of the religious leader authorised to conduct the wedding.
