Dubai Miracle Garden
Each winter, as temperatures drop, Dubai Miracle Garden reopens its gates. This 72,000-sq-m oasis, showcasing over 150 million flowers, has blossomed into one of the region’s most beautiful destinations, earning a spot on many visitors' photogenic must-see lists.
Dubai often sets records, and the Miracle Garden is no exception. It has achieved three Guinness World Records to date. In 2013, it was recognised as the world's largest vertical garden. The garden's Airbus flower structure, featuring over 500,000 fresh flowers and live plants, holds the title of the biggest flower structure globally. Meanwhile, the 18-meter (59 ft) Mickey Mouse topiary, weighing nearly 35 tonnes, is the tallest topiary-supported sculpture in the world. Additionally, the garden boasts the longest flower wall, stretching almost one kilometre and decorated with nearly 22 million blooming flowers.
The Garden typically opens from October to April and closes from May to September due to excessive heat, which is unsuitable for both flowers and visitors. Visitors can expect to spend around 2-3 hours exploring the gardens, with additional attractions like a flower parade, a children's play zone, a bazaar, and a recently opened mini-golf course.
