About
Despite being shaped like two interlocked hearts, Love Lake isn’t just a spot for couples. This massive lake in Al Qudra Oasis is a great place for some family fun—you can have a picnic or barbecue, camp overnight, wade through the shallow sections of the lake, and enjoy beautiful sunset views. You can even spot wildlife like swans and ducks on the lake, and giant koi fishes in a pond. There are also plenty of installations around the lake for photo ops. Make a trip to Love Lake on a guided day tour, which typically includes pick-ups from Dubai. – Tripadvisor

This was well worth the drive out of city.
Located next door to The Last Exit, it is accessed via a few kilometres of bumpy roads so I would not recommend driving out to it without a decent off-road vehicle.
The drive takes you past a number of other smaller lakes which are full of bird life in winter.
The Love Lakes themselves have plenty of parking and are very large. The area is very well manicured and the lakes are surrounded by a running/ walking path. There are also a number of seats, plenty of grass - which is ideal for picnics -and barbecue areas. There are large coy carp in the lakes as well as a number/ variety of birds.
A great place to spend a few hours surrounded by nature, with only natural sounds as the backdrop.

This hidden gem, tucked away in the midst of the desert and placed close to Dubai’s Al Qudra Lake, has become instantly popular when Sheikh Hamdan bin Mohammed bin Rashid Al Maktoum, shared a picture of it with the caption, “To all of you.” With everything that oozes nothing but only love, this is for anyone who wants to fall in love over and again. You’ll be amazed to know that the breathtaking surrounds of Love Lake with fountains and waterfalls are a favorite of several different varieties of birds too. So it’s most likely that you’ll get to spot eagles, ducks, swans, and falcons, among many other birds.
*See a wide variety of plants
*Spot over 150 species of birds
*Enjoy a walk across the shallow waterways
* Capture fantastic sunset views
And The entry is free 😍

Surrounded by a few other lakes, google maps finally got us to Love Lake. The sign posts in the Al Qudra precinct are not very reliable.
A stunning place to visit - free of charge.
The lakes are man made beauties.
Winter time would be the best time to visit when the temperatures are cooler.

Love lake in Dubai is a heart shaped man made lake in the desert. Its near to Al Qudra lake at the last exit approx 15 min drive from there. Open 24hrs for visiting or camping with picturesque nature.
There are no retail outlets or food junction to depend on.
Only 1 washroom each near two parking,better unloading self before starting. Sunset is the best timing to visit. Al marmoon reservoir -you will find at the beginning then the board of love lakes will follow, so don't get confuse.

Drive out into the desert to the man made heart shaped lakes, very peaceful away from the city. Gorgeous scenery with walkways around the lakes. We watched the koi carps being fed. We visited in march. Think it would be difficult to spend too long there in the very hot summer months. Great place to take a picnic. No food / cafe facilities.

Anybody who likes being close to nature will love this place.
Positives
Open 24 Hours - good for camping. BBQ allowed; dedicated space for BBQ/camping.
Clean
good for kids
at some places, you can walk on the lake (shallow)
Has jogging track as well
its big and may give you leg pains if you are not used to walking a lot
Others/Negatives
There is only 1 toilet for such a big place. Need more toilets. They were very clean though. It is at the parking
There are 2 routes (from Dubai). "Love Lake Parking" on google maps should take you there. But my recommendation is to take the route that comes via the last exit. So first put "last exit Al Quadra" and then from there you can put "Love lake parking" on your google maps.
Why? 1st you will see multiple lakes on your way through this route and the other reason is that this road is better for people NOT having off-road vehicles (Sedan, Hatchbacks, etc.) The other alternative road, which is the default road shown by google map is a bit rough and risky for people not having off-road vehicles.
Definately worth visiting.
Enjoy!

Reaching the easily approachable Love Lake may require driving the last few kilometres on mud road. So, before undertaking the journey make sure that your vehicle has adequate power and the tyres are good enough to move in sand or slush, depending upon the weather. A small eatery at the Lake runs twenty-four hours on weekends, but serves little more than beverages and fast food. Fish of different colours and sizes can be seen under the surface of clean water in the well-maintained lake. The Lake and the vicinity is home to some beautiful birds. Bring your supplies if you wish to camp overnight, as the prebuilt camps on the property are limited in number. Parking and toilet use is free, and the capacity is adequate. Nature lovers will not return disappointed from the area.

During the National Day Holiday I visited Love Lake which is located in Al Qudra. It is a beautiful man made lake in heart shape. It is open 24 hours for visiting or camping and it is free.
So if you want to get away from city hustle bustle and get close to the nature then you should visit this place.

It Awesome place to visit , something you should not miss this hidden jewel in Dubai . open 24 hours for visiting or camping so do take your barbeque gear ( tents, sleeping bags, torches etc) and head out to this and it is free outdoor activity . There are no lights so don't forget to take torch if you are planning to stay there till late night. There are no shops or eating joints and nearest is Al Qudra's Last Exit satisfy all your food cravings. Facilities are limited, so its best to come prepared beforehand. Toilets are at the entrance only .Dress comfortably and don't wear high heels .

I enjoyed being transported to a different dimension in the midst of the deserts. Too many photo opportunities, lake-vibes, and relaxation. The place is spacious and tidy! It really can relax your mind. The other adjacent place is the Al Qudra lakes which a lot of people camp overnight, it was also a great idea not to go early morning but spend a night before you enjoy the sunset!
