dubai — All abloom, Dubai’s Miracle Garden is set to return for its ninth season this Sunday with strict safety measures in place.

The natural garden — the largest in the world — will bloom with over 150 million flowers of more than 120 varieties, including some that have never been cultivated in the Gulf region.

For this season, the park has enhanced its night experience for guests by adding sculptures adorned with twinkling lights.

There will also be the ‘aerial floating lady’ dressed in exotic flowers.

The revamped amphitheat­re features a magnificen­t palace that serves as an observator­y where visitors will be able to enjoy live entertainm­ent and other shows. From the top, guests can capture the stunning panoramic views of the complete garden.

Walking track

Those who wish to take a stroll amid all the floral artistry can make the most of the 400-metre walking

track at the park. This track also doubles as a venue for daily entertainm­ent shows, including costume and floral parades, street performanc­es, Zumba sessions and other physical and recreation­al activities.

Other visual treats returning this year include the Floral Castle that accommodat­es a garden dining

experience, illuminate­d nightscape, and the distinctiv­e Caribbean and Asian hammocks.

Abdel Naser Rahhal, creator and co-founder of Dubai Miracle Garden and vice-chairman of Cityland Group, the developer of the ambitious botanical project, said: “Every year, we challenge ourselves to create new and distinctiv­e displays to

keep Dubai Miracle Garden close to the hearts and minds of our visitors, giving them an experience worthy of sharing between friends and family members.”

Safety remains a top priority at the park. “All necessary measures and protocols have been put in place in line with government health authority’s requiremen­ts and procedures.

The venue will strictly monitor the body temperatur­e of visitors entering the garden and hand sanitisers will be available across all areas. Social distancing rules will also be strictly implemente­d. The park’s team has been trained to fully carry out health, safety and security measures,” Rahhal said.
