Dubai Miracle Garden, Flower garden in Dubailand, Dubai, United Arab Emirates
Dubai Miracle Garden is a flower garden in Dubailand, Dubai, covering around 72,000 square meters with more than 50 million flowers and 250 million plants. The plants form geometric shapes, arches, pavilions and figures spread across pathways and lawns.
The garden opened on February 14, 2013, as the first large outdoor flower display in the Middle East. Since then, the site has grown with several new sections and record-holding installations.
The garden opened on Valentine's Day 2013, and its name plays on the improbable sight of 150 million blooms in the desert, watered at night with treated wastewater through drip irrigation. A licensing deal with The Walt Disney Company brought a Mickey Mouse topiary in February 2018, followed by Minnie Mouse, Goofy, Pluto, Daisy Duck, Donald Duck and Huey, Dewey and Louie.
The site is open from October to April, as summer heat endangers the plants, with daily hours from 9 AM to 9 PM on weekdays and until 11 PM on weekends. The entrance is located along Sheikh Mohammed Bin Zayed Road, where parking and taxi stands are available.
The Mickey Mouse topiary unveiled in February 2018 under a licensing deal with The Walt Disney Company weighs almost 35 tonnes and is listed by Guinness World Records as the tallest topiary supported sculpture. The garden also holds the record for the longest flower wall, nearly one kilometre long and set with about 22 million flowers.
