Dubai Butterfly Garden, Indoor butterfly sanctuary in Al Barsha South, United Arab Emirates
Description
Dubai Butterfly Garden is an indoor sanctuary in Al Barsha South with multiple climate-controlled domes. These domes house thousands of butterflies from many species living in natural-like environments.
History
The garden was the first temperature-controlled butterfly sanctuary in the Middle East and marked a milestone for the region. This facility introduced a new form of nature tourism to the United Arab Emirates.
Culture
The garden functions as a place where people come to learn about butterfly development through displays and information panels. You can see how these insects are displayed in settings that resemble their natural homes.
Practical
Wear comfortable shoes when visiting, as you will walk through multiple domes and exploring takes time. The air in the domes is kept cool, so bringing a light layer of clothing is helpful.
Did you know?
In certain areas, butterflies fly freely so visitors can watch their natural behavior up close. These zones let you see the insects in action rather than only in enclosed spaces.
