It is impossible to describe in words the fairy-tale beauty of “Dubai Miracle Garden,” whose name is most often translated into Russian as “Miracle Garden.” The absolute unreality of the surrounding splendor is captured in whimsical shapes, giant figures, fountains, palaces, and patterns made from 50 million flowers. It feels as if you have stepped not even into a fantasy film, but into a cartoon — everything is so bright, unusual, and imaginative.
Flower arches stretch over four kilometers of walking paths; all around, as far as the eye can see, everything is filled with flowers in every shade found in nature, which skilled gardeners have shaped into the most unusual forms. Castles, three-story houses, pyramids and hearts several meters high, figures of peacocks and butterflies, and even a huge working clock — all of these are vertical flowerbeds made of perfect blossoms.

The park has many beautiful fountains that ease the scorching heat and improve the microclimate. All the lawns are filled with emerald grass and patterned flowerbeds that create graceful designs and whole artistic compositions.
Miracle Garden opened relatively recently — in 2013 — but has already become further proof that Dubai is in many ways the most extraordinary city on the planet. Two Miracle Garden features have been entered into the Guinness Book of Records: the world's longest wall of flowers — 800 meters long and 3 meters high — and the tallest pyramid of flowers — 10 meters.

Besides the delightful ornamental flowerbeds, this luxurious park also features an Aromatic Garden, home to the most pleasantly scented flowers and herbs from more than 200 countries around the world. In this part of the park, visitors can touch, smell, and even pick a couple of leaves to brew themselves tea from fresh lemon balm or thyme later.
Keep in mind that Miracle Garden is located relatively far from the city center, and the most convenient way to visit it is to rent a car and head out to see a few more interesting places in Dubai.
