Despite the humidity, residents and tourists alike strolled through the iconic heart-shaped entrance, down to the massive replica of an Emirates airplane
Dubai Miracle Garden, dubbed the world’s largest flower garden and home to more than 150 million blooms, opened its doors once more for its 14th season.
Schoolchildren in pristine uniforms stood in arrangement as a school marching band rang out to the tune of Mamma Mia by ABBA, welcoming both first timers and regulars.
Despite the humidity, residents and tourists alike strolled through the iconic heart-shaped entrance, down to the massive replica of an Emirates airplane, all strewn with charming flowers in pink, yellow, white, and purple.
Yari Villaver, a teacher at United Expats International, came by with eight students and their parents to enjoy the first day of the iconic Miracle Garden. A regular, Villaver said that this time was the first he witnessed the opening, and said that despite the heat, the group was excited to be back.
Flower maintenance
The wide array of flowers are fresh, planted only two to three weeks ago, Group CEO of Miracle Garden Mohammed Zaher Hammadih told खलीज टाइम्स. He said that the different varieties of blooms are taken care of for the entirety of the season and are changed regularly depending on the flower. “We have a state-of-the-art irrigation system. There is a lot of work and attention to details so that the garden is beautiful and blooming at the time of opening.”
“In the summer, the whole garden is disassembled and replanted. During the season, the flowers change more than once. Every time you visit the garden, you see new flowers and new plants,” he added.
Dubai Miracle Garden is located in Al Barsha South 3 and is open from 9am to 11pm on the weekdays and 9am to 12am on the weekends. Every season, the park has more than 150 million blooms with 50 floral displays.
Ticket prices
UAE residents can get the general admission ticket for a discounted price of Dh73.5 for adults, while children pay Dh52.5. For tourists, however, prices are Dh105 for adults and Dh85 for children. As reported by खलीज टाइम्स earlier, discounted ticket prices for residents increased, from Dh60 to Dh73.5.
Tickets can be bought either at the entrance or online. For the discount to be availed, residents must show a valid Emirates ID card.
