Dubai's latest and greatest outdoor
destination opened on Valentine's Day, 2013 - "Dubai Miracle Garden".
Dubai Miracle Garden is dubbing itself as the largest natural flower garden in the world (is anyone surprised) and it contains more than 45 million flowers. Some flowers have never before been planted or grown in the United Arab Emirates. The owners of Dubai Miracle Garden are hoping to get the Guinness World record, "largest flower wall". Keep your fingers crossed!
Dubai seems to be stocking up in Guinness World Records and this could be one more .
For 20 Dirhams (@ $5.00 USD) you can enter the Miracle Garden, walking around enjoying the beauty. The flowers are shaped into stunning designs and shapes. They have also shaped the flowers into pyramids, domes, birds (the giant peacocks are especially nice) stars, hearts, etc. Anything you would or would not imagine has been shaped with flowers.
Little garden helpers in safety vests are running around, blowing their whistles when small children and adults get to close to the precious flowers. Give a man a whistle and they have power.
Besides the flowers, they have also done some fun things with umbrella's and cars. Anyone have a car that they don't know what to do with ? Make it into a flower bed or a planter and stick it in your front yard. All the neighbors will be jealous.
The Miracle Garden was a site to see and worth the 20 dirhams that is charged to get in. With the cost of water high in Dubai, it must cost a lot to keep all 45 million flowers blooming.
Due to the hot intense heat that Dubai suffers through in the summer, the Dubai Miracle Garden will only be open October - May. I am so happy that we ventured out to see this beautiful garden in the middle of the desert.
