Landmark
Dubai Miracle Garden is the world's largest natural flower garden, located in Al Barsha South. The park opened on Valentine's Day in 2013 and covers an area of 72,000 square meters. It houses more than 150 million flowers arranged in elaborate formations, sculptures, and patterns. Among the most spectacular exhibits is a life-sized replica of an Emirates Airbus A380, completely covered in flowers, which holds a Guinness World Record. Other attractions include floral castles, a butterfly garden, and heart-shaped passages. Irrigation is managed through an efficient system that uses treated wastewater to keep the plants alive in the desert environment. The garden is open seasonally, typically from November to May, as extreme summer temperatures prevent flower growth. Each year, the garden's design is changed to present new floral themes to visitors. Dubai Miracle Garden serves as a prime example of innovative landscaping under extreme climatic conditions.
