Best Things to Do at the Miracle Garden in Dubai

Walk through Beautiful Flower Fields

The Miracle Garden in Dubai is filled with flower fields home to more than 150 million flowers in bloom every spring. Wow!

There are petunias, calendulas, sunflowers, roses, violas, and geraniums. Plus, so many exciting structures (some of which we speak about below) created and decorated with flowers.

The best thing to do at Dubai Miracle Garden is to walk through these beautiful flower fields and get lost in their beauty.

Check out the life-size Emirates Airbus A380

The highlight of Dubai Miracle Garden is the life-size Emirates Airbus A380, adorned with over 500,000 fresh flowers and plants, showcasing the airline’s signature colors and branding.

Both nature lovers and airplane enthusiasts will love this structure. It is also a great place to take excellent pictures of yourself at the Miracle Garden.

Get clicked at the Heart-Shaped Archway

One of the garden’s most iconic features, the heart-shaped archway, is a favorite photo spot for solo travelers, couples, and families. Be sure to capture a beautiful picture as you walk through the arches adorned with vibrant flowers.

A couple of other heart-shaped installations also make for attractive photo frames.

See the Floral Clock

The garden also has a massive floral clock made from natural plants and flowers.

The best part is that the clock’s design changes according to the seasons, depending on what flowers are blooming at that time.

See the Dancing Ladies

I also loved the structures of the Dancing Ladies around the Floral Clock.

Be sure to check out their dresses decorated with fresh flowers. Wouldn’t it be fab to wear an outfit like that to the Miracle Garden in Dubai?

Check out Aladdin’s Floral Castle

The Miracle Garden is home to a colorful floral castle that I love to refer to as Aladdin’s Castle because of where we are—in the Middle East. It is guarded by a humongous genie and a lamp, adding to the Arabian Nights flavor.

Stroll through Smurfs Village

Visiting Dubai with kids? Then you have to visit the Smurfs Village at Dubai Miracle Garden.

Smurfs Village is a themed park based on the Belgian animated series The Smurfs. Be sure to look out for the mushroom houses that dot this area – they make a unique photo spot inside the garden.

Visit the Lakeside Cabanas

Dubai’s Miracle Garden also has a tiny lake surrounded by gorgeous cabanas—the perfect place to take excellent pictures.

Walk under the Umbrella Tunnel

Be sure to walk under the colorful umbrella tunnel with hundreds of parasols floating in the sky.

The Umbrella Tunnel also has food shops and souvenir stalls, so it is an excellent place to grab a quick snack and refuel during the trip.

Buy some cool souvenirs

Since we are already talking about souvenir shops inside the Umbrella Tunnel, let me tell you that the Miracle Garden is the perfect spot to buy some cool Dubai souvenirs.

You’ll find everything from traditional handbags to camel plush toys, sand art bottles, traditional clothing, Arabian lamps, and small knickknacks like fridge magnets and keychains.

Dubai Miracle Garden Opening Hours & Months

Dubai Miracle Garden is only open in the winter and spring, from November to mid-June. Park hours may change depending on the intensity of the summer heat, so check here before you go.

Dubai’s summers are too hot, which means the flowers do not bloom. The park remains closed from mid-June to October.

The Miracle Garden is open from 9 am to 9 pm Monday through Friday and 9 am to 11 pm Saturday through Sunday.

The best time to visit Dubai Miracle Garden is in the morning, right after the garden opens. This allows you to explore the garden at your own pace and capture stunning photographs with minimal crowds. Additionally, the early morning light enhances the colors of the flowers, making your photos even more vibrant.

Weekdays are generally less crowded than weekends. So fewer people around.

How to Book Tickets for Dubai Miracle Garden

You can purchase tickets online through Dubai Miracle Garden’s official website here or at the box office at the garden’s entrance. The official website booking option does not work in summer when the garden is closed.

If you visit on weekends, during holidays, or in the late afternoon, when crowds start pouring in, expect a queue at the box office.

You can also purchase skip-the-line tickets to the Miracle Garden on Get Your Guide, a reliable third-party website that I use widely to buy my tickets and tours in the Middle East. They are safe, reliable, and so efficient.

Miracle Garden tickets on Get Your Guide usually include hotel pickups, making it easy to plan your day without worrying about logistics.

If you’re planning to combine Miracle Garden with a trip to Global Village, you can buy this combo ticket, which includes both attractions.

How to Get to Dubai Miracle Garden

Dubai Miracle Garden is located in South Dubai. You can get there by car or public transport. Honestly, a car or taxi is the best option because public transport takes a long time and involves a couple of changes.

Get Your Guide offers Dubai Miracle Garden tickets that include pickup from your hotel, which is super convenient.

By Car or Taxi:

If you’re driving, you can easily reach Dubai Miracle Garden via Al Khail Road (E44) from Dubai Mall, Dubai Frame, or Dubai Old Town. Sufficient parking is available in the garden.

You can also take a cab from your hotel using ride-hailing apps like Uber or Careem to get to the Miracle Garden.

If you book your Miracle Garden tickets via Get Your Guide, hotel pickups are usually included in those tickets.

By Public Transport:

It is easy to get to Dubai Miracle Garden by public transportation, though it requires some walking.

Take the Dubai Metro to the Mall of the Emirates station on the Red Line. From there, catch a taxi or use the RTA bus service to reach the garden.
