Irish touch during the season of love
Ireland has always been a haven for couples from all over the world to enjoy its romantic castles, breathtaking landscapes, vibrant culture, and fascinating traditions.
The language of love in Ireland has several translations, including shopping, romantic walks, and cultural activities. With a date with a love journey in the Irish island just eight hours away from the United Arab Emirates, there is no obstacle stopping those who wish to take a direct day trip from Dubai, Abu Dhabi, and Doha to spend a romantic holiday in the emerald isle.
Shopping
Initially, visitors to Ireland can take a trip to Galway, the home of the famous Claddagh ring, and buy an original Irish jewelry piece for their loved ones as a symbol of their everlasting love. The small community in the area used the iconic design of two hands holding a heart, representing love, loyalty, and friendship.
Irish Culture
Visit the Tomb of St. Valentine in Dublin Many may not be aware of this, but the Church of St. Andrew and St. Patrick houses some of the remains of St. Valentine, the patron saint of love. In 1835, Pope Gregory XVI gave Irish bishop some of St. Valentine's remains during a visit to Rome, and the bishop brought them to Dublin, specifically to the Church of St. Andrew and St. Patrick.
