Dubai Miracle Garden

The Dubai Miracle Garden is a flower garden located in the Dubailand area. It opened its doors on Valentine’s Day 2013, and covers an area of over 72,000 square metres; making it the largest natural flower garden in the world, with 45 million flowers planted.

In April 2015, the Dubai Miracle Garden received the prominent Moselle Award for New Garden Experiences of the Year during the International Garden Tourism Awards. Also in the same year, a new area was opened, the Dubai Butterfly Garden, the world’s largest indoor butterfly garden and the first to open in the region, housing over 15,000 butterflies of 26 different species.

The Dubai Miracle Garden showcases a great variety of flowers, arranged in sensational shapes and colours to form hearts, stars, igloos, pyramids and many other figures. The flower motifs change with the seasons, so returning to visit after some time will result in a completely different experience.

Watering the flowers

The flowers are kept healthy by reusing wastewater through drip irrigation, a method that slowly delivers water to the plants through a network system that, by minimising water use, waters a small area of soil in the vicinity of the flower constantly or intermittently.

In all, more than 750,000 litres of water are used per day, and thanks to the use of wastewater alone, there is absolutely zero wastage.

Tickets for the Dubai Miracle Garden

The entrance ticket is relatively inexpensive. We recommend buying it online to skip the queue at the ticket counters and secure your visit.

Ticket for the Butterfly Garden

Very close to the Dubai Miracle Garden is another unusual attraction but not to be missed if you are a nature lover: the Dubai Butterfly Garden.

Opening Hours

The Dubai Miracle Garden is open from October to April and is closed from May to September due to the high temperatures in the area (over 40 degrees). The park is open from 9 a.m. to 9 p.m. daily, while on Fridays and Saturdays opening hours are from 9 a.m. to 11 p.m.

How to get to Dubai Miracle Garden

Reaching the Dubai Miracle Garden is not, however, a five-minute affair: the Dubailand area is built well outside the city, several kilometres away, and there is no trace of a metro system in the area, which can therefore only be reached by hire car, taxi or using the number 105 bus, which leaves from the Mall of the Emirates and makes the journey in about 40 minutes.

How the Dubai Miracle Garden came into being

The project was realised through an agreement between Dubailand and the Dubai Properties Group, with an initial cost of around EUR 10 million. The first phase ended with the opening on 14 February 2013, after two months of intensive work.

The second phase began in mid-June 2013 and was completed in October of the same year, resulting in an expansion of the park by more than 70 per cent in surface area and the construction of a multi-storey car park, a flower clock, a butterfly garden, several shops and a mosque.
