Dubai is a city famous for its shimmering steel and record-breaking towers. However, right in the heart of the desert, you can find a quiet oasis of natural beauty. The Dubai Miracle Garden and the Dubai Butterfly Garden are two neighboring gems that offer a fresh breath of air. The exciting attractions are even more thrilling from December through February in the UAE. Visitors from around the world are coming to experience the new floral arrangement designs and additional butterfly species, and purchasing the Miracle Garden & Butterfly Garden Combo Ticket is cost-effective as well as saves you the hassle of planning ahead. This guide will provide you with a detailed timeline to visit and enjoy each of the beautiful gardens.
The Dubai Miracle Garden isn’t your typical backyard at all. It is truly the world’s largest natural flower garden. It covers over 72,000 square meters and features more than 150 million blooming flowers. This lush paradise is a true engineering marvel because it thrives in a desert climate. Every year from November to May, the garden displays stunning shapes and massive floral structures. It is a place where nature meets creativity to form a living work of art.
The Heart Tunnel is a beautiful, romantic place to walk. This passage is made of dozens of giant heart-shaped arches covered in vibrant petunias. It is one of the most photographed spots in all of Dubai. Whether you are with a partner or friends, this is the place for a perfect profile picture.
The Floating Lady is an incredible new addition—she appears to be floating high above a bed of colorful flowers, with long hair and a flowing dress made up of living plants. It is a stunning combination of artistic sculpture and expert gardening that leaves everyone amazed.
You can feel like royalty as you wander around the massive Flower Castles. These structures look like they were plucked straight from a Disney movie. They are draped in thousands of flowers of every possible color. The paths to each castle are wide enough for leisurely strolls and taking in the sights.
Your visit to The Umbrella Passage will definitely be an amazing experience with all the colorful umbrellas hanging overhead. This beautiful area adds a bright pop of color and provides wonderful shade as you walk around different parts of the zoo. Everyone loves to smile at and take photos with all the umbrellas above them on display.
You can’t miss the life-size Emirates Airbus A380 because it is amazing! It is covered in over 500,000 fresh flowers and living plants. This massive floral plane celebrates Dubai’s love for aviation and grand scale. It is a jaw-dropping sight that shows exactly why this garden is called a “miracle.”
Keep an eye on the time with the garden’s enormous and functional Floral Clock. The face of the clock is made of colorful blooms that change with the season. It is a beautiful blend of mechanics and nature that sits near the center of the park. If you’re traveling with a group, the clock is very helpful in finding your friends again.
The Butterfly Passage appears like the wings of a large butterfly and creates a very attractive liaison to another garden location. The flower detail on the wings of the butterfly is highly detailed and colorful. It gives you a small taste of the beauty you will find in the neighboring park.
During your exploration, you will discover a tranquil lake area surrounded by plants and flowers. The water reflects the colorful garden displays and provides a calming feel to the area. The walking paths are very well maintained and easily accessible to all users regardless of their age or ability level. Taking a moment by the water is a great way to escape the crowds.
Step into a world of magic at Disney Avenue to see your favorite childhood characters. You will find massive floral versions of Mickey Mouse, Minnie Mouse, and Goofy. The Mickey Mouse structure alone is 18 meters tall and made of nearly 100,000 flowers. It is a huge hit with children and adults who grew up with Disney.
The garden never looks exactly the same twice because the themes change every year. In 2026, look out for new floral domes and animal-shaped topiary displays. The designers work hard to keep the experience fresh for returning residents and tourists. Each time you experience it, the garden looks and feels different.
Located right next door, the Dubai Butterfly Garden is a magical indoor escape. It is the world’s largest covered butterfly garden and stays open all year round. Within the space there are 10 specially designed dome structures housing more than 15,000 butterflies of over 50 species of butterflies in climate-controlled environments where the temperature ranges from 18 to 25 degrees Celsius, providing the butterflies with a comfortable environment. This peaceful, educational, and spectacular experience is reserved for those who love nature.
There are numerous large domes that have a different ecosystem in each dome. The indoor area is similar to the tropical habitat where different species of butterflies would naturally live. The temperature and humidity are set so that the plant life and insect life will thrive together in the indoor domes. It is a great way to see what a jungle would be like inside a desert.
You will also get to have a personal interaction with the butterflies. Many butterflies fly very close to you and will even land on your shoulder or camera. This is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to connect with nature and take that perfect photograph. Children of all ages and adults love this experience and often claim it’s the best part of their visit.
Additionally, the gardens provide a lot of educational and interactive opportunities. You can learn more about the life cycle of a butterfly from being an egg to an adult with wings. The different environments and the importance of conservation for the various species are also explained in the exhibits. This is a great way for children and families to learn about the natural world in a fun way.
Wandering through the lush plants and trees, look for great birds; specifically, you may want to find the majestic peacock. The peacocks roam and live around the landscaped garden areas and bring a fascinating quality to the landscape. The stunning colors of their blue and green feathers match beautifully with the tropical flowers on display. The peacocks are very accustomed to having visitors in their park, so they are an added feature of the tranquillity found in the park.
The gardens are located in Al Barsha South 3, Dubailand area. You can easily reach them by taking the Dubai Metro Red Line to the Mall of the Emirates Station. From there, take RTA Bus Route 105, which runs directly to the garden entrance. If you are driving, there is plenty of free parking available on-site for all visitors.
