From castles, to a giant airplane, cartoon critters and a butterfly garden, The Dubai Miracle Garden is a feast for your eyes. The magnificent garden has over 65 million flowers from 120 varieties and 250 million plants spread over 72,000 square metres. It’s a one of a kind garden that has attracted tourists from across the globe.
The Dubai Miracle Garden is located in the district of Dubailand, Dubai, United Arab Emirates, and was launched on Valentine’s Day in 2013. It quickly took over the Guinness World Record as the world’s largest vertical garden, and has since earned two more accolades. The Airbus A380 floral structure in the garden is the world’s biggest floral structure anywhere, and the 59 foot Mickey Mouse is the tallest topiary supported sculpture. The latter weighs an incredible 35 tonnes. The Dubai Butterfly Garden, which is part of the Miracle Garden is also on it’s way to claiming the record as the largest Butterfly Garden in the world, with over 15,000 butterflies from 26 species living there.
If you plan on exploring the colourful Dubai Miracle Garden, you will need to plan your trip. After all the facility is only open from October to April, because the high temperatures during the rest of the year is not a good time to view flowers. If you are heading to Dubai during those months it is open though, you will want to make your way there.
