2020 is a Leap Year – the once-every-four-years event featuring 29 February, when, according to Irish tradition, customary roles are reversed and women can propose marriage.

For ladies who are thinking of popping that all important question this year, there is no better way than in a romantic, waterside setting at some of Dubai’s best-loved dining spots.
