Why visit Miracle Gardens?

It’s hard to imagine world’s largest flower garden to be sitting amidst parched desert. But truth be told, Dubai is home to this largest flower garden in the world.

Dubai’s Miracle Gardens is spread across 72000 sq meters in the middle of arid landscape.  The garden has as many as 45 million pretty array of colorful flowers in full bloom that are arranged in a eye catchy designs transforming the desert land into a colorful oasis.

Miracle Gardens has already bagged Guinness world record for being the longest vertical garden in the world.  For all we could say, the garden is a feast to your eyes and a great photo opportunity. We spent about three hours navigating the extravagant floral displays. 

How to reach the Miracle Gardens in Dubai

The garden is located in Dubailand in the North West Quadrant of Arabian Ranches.  If you are looking for public transport to reach the gardens, Dubai Metro is the best option.

Take the Metro (red line) and get down at MOE (Mall of Emirates) station. Bus no.105 directly takes you to the gardens (roughly 20 minute ride).

If you come by car, there is ample free car parking space at the entrance (roughly 2000 spaces). We chose to take metro till MOE, and took taxi to reach the gardens, which seemed like the convenient option for us! 

Everything about Miracle Gardens

• The garden is open from November through May . The opening timings of the gardens  between 9am to 9pm.

• Adult entrance fee is 55AED (as of 2020), children (aged 3 – 12 ) fee is 40AED and children below 3 years go free.

• The garden is equipped with restaurants, shops, toilets, prayer halls, seating area and ample car parking spaces.

• Picnic and barbecues are not allowed. If you are bringing home food, ensure they are light snacks, finger foods, fruits only

Practical Information

• Visit the garden first thing in the morning (garden opens at 9am) when it gets open to avoid the crowd. 

• Allow a minimum of 2 hours to walk around the garden. If you like photography, allow an extra hour or 30 minutes more. 

• If you plan to take a taxi from Miracle gardens, plan and book the taxi 30 minutes before you come out. Either taxis are in high demand, or it takes ages to cruise through the city traffic.

• Although the garden has access to restaurants and eat outs, we felt everything to be pricey and the cafes were too crowded. So pack light snacks, sandwich, fruit and water bottle.  

• Follow the appropriate dress code and refrain from any public display of affection. For instance, holding hands is fine, while kissing is often frowned and not tolerated by public.
