DUBAI MIRACLE GARDEN Each season, as the weather begins to cool at the onset of winter, the gates reopen at Dubai Miracle Garden. With more than 150 million flowers in full bloom, this 72,000-sq-m paradise has flowered into one of the region’s most picturesque, sweet-scented destinations since it first opened nearly nine years ago – fittingly, on Valentine’s Day.
HILL TOP
The vibrant flowers lend a sense of verticality to Dubai Miracle Garden. Visitors navigate a wonderful passage that takes them to a lower part of the garden. From this vantage point, you can enjoy a unique perspective on the hill, with its colourful flowers rising from the bottom to the higher points. Up here, Dubai Miracle Garden looks like a valley of wonder. The surrounding multi-coloured petals and trees are accompanied by a number of coffee shops, as well as an ice cream bar. It’s an ideal spot for a family photo or couple’s selfie – with a warm coffee! Try different angles to see how much of this special Dubai flower garden you can capture.
FLORAL DESIGNS
The colors, designs and structure of our 3D floral characters are a testament to our team’s craft for the visitors of the region’s most popular flower garden. We reinvigorated the concept by beautifully merging these characters with vibrant flowers and giving them a remarkable look, as well as unique designs. From giant floral mushrooms and humanoid ants with flowery thoraxes to rose-laden swans and flower-powered cars, our team’s imagination knows no bounds, and these attractions have proven a long-time favourite at Dubai Miracle Garden.
SUNFLOWER FIELD
As their name suggests, sunflowers love the sun. In fact, they need it so badly that they actually turn to face it when they’re young.
It’s only fitting, then, that sunflowers look their finest on bright, sunny days. Their yellow petals absorb and reflect light beautifully and provide a natural, stunning background to any photos, whether you’re taking them with a pro-grade DSLR or a mid-range smartphone.
The effect is multiplied further when you look at a field packed with thousands of them. Did you know that a sunflower itself isn’t just one flower, but thousands of little ones? That’s why the big brown bit at their centre is so fuzzy – it’s the feeling of many little flowers on your fingers!
EMIRATES A380
With its unique, larger-than-life double-decker design, the Airbus A380 is one of the most loved super jumbo jets in the world – and no airline has more of them than Emirates, Dubai’s flagship carrier. We decided to honour the skies’ most impressive passenger vehicle in the most natural way we could: botanically. That’s why we collaborated with Emirates Airline to build the world’s largest floral installation – a life-size version of the Emirates A380. Set in the heart of the world’s largest flower garden, our A380 is covered in more than 500,000 fresh flowers and living plants. Built four years ago, it’s the biggest structure ever built at the garden and even holds a Guinness World Record. No wonder that the A380 is one of our most popular attractions.
SMURFS VILLAGE
Now in its majestic tenth year, the world’s largest natural flower garden unveils a new attraction that kids and kids-at-heart will surely adore. Dubai Miracle Garden is proud to announce the launch of its all-new Smurfs Village for the winter season, where the world of the beloved blue creatures will be displayed as delightful landscape arrangements, in a deal brokered by IMG. A forest of mushroom houses awaits the residents and tourists alike as they explore one of the city’s most visited destinations.
Based on the Belgian comics and well-acclaimed movie and television franchise, The Smurfs are small, blue creatures who live in a community of mushroom-shaped houses in their own harmonious village. The dynamic spectacle of display at Dubai Miracle Garden will feature four different areas including the Smurf Village, Smurf Activity Area, Smurf Topiaries, and another Guinness World of Record set to break, giving residents of Dubai something to truly look forward to this new season.
Guests will be transported to the world of the Smurfs as they enter a village of the loveable blue creatures. Dubai Miracle Garden’s Smurfs Village will feature exciting surprises, structures, and designs taking inspiration from the well-loved characters and their dwellings. A whole section of the garden will be transformed with special areas and zones for the visitors along with a stretch of vibrant and fascinating natural colorful flowers and plants. Guests can revel in extraordinary pathways displaying marvelous designs and landscapes that cannot be seen anywhere else. Visitors are in for a treat with some surprise characters and spectacular shows as the evening sets in.
FLORAL CLOCK
Time is a funny thing – we love to worry about it, and often feel like there’s never enough. While we usually look at our phone or wrist to check it, sometimes it’s nice to see it from a different vantage point. Dubai Miracle Garden offers one, in the form of a beautiful 15-metre floral clock. It’s made of real plants and flowers, whose designs we change according to the season – something particularly relevant to the shifting sands of time, daylight hours and the weather. The floral clock’s mechanical parts were brought in from the US, while our own in-house landscaping whizzes, Miracle Garden Landscaping, conceptualized its stunning design.
UMBRELLA TUNNEL
We’ve got more than one cool, colourful passage at Dubai Miracle Garden. Our Umbrella Passages are one of the most interesting, creatively designed spaces at the garden. We made the ceiling out of upside-down umbrellas, arranged in rings that are separated by bands of flowers, which have been arranged to match the colours of each umbrella section. Hanging green plants between sections of the ceiling cultivate a rainforest vibe. These passages aren’t simply made for walking, though. There are socially distanced chairs and tables that offer yet another spot to enjoy a meal from one of our many F&B options, sip on a coffee and breathe in the floral scents or even just enjoy a brief break from the walking.
LAKE PARK
Water and flowers are a wonderful combination, and you can see it come to life at our Lake Park. The scene created by the reflection of floral villas and 3D flower-laden models against the blue sky results in a sensational explosion of purple, green, red, pink, orange and blue hues of colour. It’s the perfect place to set your smartphone to pro or HDR mode and capture a fully saturated snap with your friends, family or special someone. With waterside creature models sitting next to sea travel vessels, all bound by Dubai Miracle Garden’s floral themes, the Lake Park captures every aspect of H2O and gives it a flowery makeover.
FLOATING LADY
The newest attraction at Miracle Garden, the Floating Lady lies in the air, arms outstretched without a care in the world as her long hair dangles to the ground.
Her dress is the star of the show. Its red and white petunias flow down from her horizontal position high on up above a field of flowers, giving an ethereal illusion that she has slowly been summoned forth to the sky by some mysterious ancient power.
In the background, you can see the spires of the Floral Castle in the middle distance. Could the magnificent fortress have once been this fair maiden’s home?
