On our last trip to Dubai just a couple days ago, we visited three interesting parks that fascinate with their beauty and are especially good for walking with children. Today I will tell you about the Miracle Garden flower park, which is located next to the Dubai Butterfly Garden. This park is considered the largest flower garden in the world, with an area of about 7 hectares and is an amazingly beautiful oasis in the middle of a lifeless desert.
It operates annually from December to May, inclusive, while the moderate air temperature allows visitors to enjoy walks in the park. In the summer months, when the temperature does not drop below +40 degrees, the park is closed. During these months, there is a change and reconstruction of landscape figures, thanks to which every year new compositions appear in the park to replace the old ones and the park looks new.
The flower park is located far from the old districts of Dubai, so the best way to get to it is by metro. You need to take the metro to the Mall of the Emirates station and get off in the direction of a taxi and a bus stop. From there, the park can be reached by bus number 105, which runs specifically from the metro station to Miracle Garden. The bus fare is 5 dirhams. The bus runs on weekdays every 30 minutes from 14.15, on weekends - this is Friday and Saturday in Dubai - from 12.15.
Or you can catch a taxi, but then the trip will cost 25-30 dirhams. We arrived by taxi. There was a small queue at the cash register, we had to stand for 5 minutes. The entrance ticket costs 55 dirhams, but when paying by card we were charged 45 dirhams.
I should note that a visit to the Flower Park is not included in the Dubai tour program. Therefore, I found information about it in various Internet sources, and then it was decided to visit this park.
I did not find the promised 70 types of flowers. Approximately 95% of the garden is planted with petunias, sometimes there were sunflowers, calendula, tulips. But still, it must be admitted that the petunia has so many varieties and shades that the garden looks simply amazing.
It is not surprising that it is petunias that prevail in the flower park - they bloom in a continuous carpet, they can decorate any figure.
I don’t know how during the day, but in the evening, when the heat of the day subsided, there are a lot of visitors in the park. There are many locals who come with strollers just to take a walk, sit on the benches by the fountains. But of course there are more tourists.
The flowers are the simplest, but the very fact that the garden is in the desert is impressive! Delicious aromas, bright colors, bizarre shapes.
A sea of positive is guaranteed! Beautiful alleys of different shapes and sizes run through the park. Some of them are decorated with colorful umbrellas. These are areas with fast food stalls where you can have a bite of shawarma, french fries, nuggets, taste ice cream or buy drinks.
Look how much beauty!!!! We walked for about 3 hours. You can sit in gazebos, lie down in hammocks. There are a lot of places to rest and relax.
The park of flowers is decorated with various figures, both large and small. There is a separate children's area with cartoon characters and small figurines of animals.
And here is the largest figure in the park - a real two-story liner with rotating turbines. After sunset, they also turned on the lights inside.
In addition, a whole town with multi-colored roofs was recreated from flowers. In the center of the park there is a tall structure with observation decks, which is essentially a huge flower bed. From the observation platforms, you can view the entire park from a height.
Among other things, the park has many shops with souvenirs, toys and balloons.
I recommend visiting this park to everyone without exception, especially residents of the northern latitudes. It's not often that we get to see such beauty.
The park is truly beautiful, it's better to see once than hear 100 times. If you are in the UAE, take a look at Miracle Garden - very beautiful and unusual!
