Day 01

Dubai Butterfly Garden, Al Barsha South

Enter the climate-controlled domes next to Miracle Garden, where thousands of butterflies across dozens of species fly free around you. Walk slowly and they will settle on the planting and sometimes on you. A small museum area covers the life cycle from egg to chrysalis. It is fully indoors and cool, which makes it a good pairing with the garden next door. Allow about ninety minutes.

Know before you go

WHEELCHAIR ACCESSIBLE
LIMITED MOBILITY ACCESSIBLE
The butterflies fly free, so the visit works best if you move slowly and stand still - sudden movement scatters them.
Wear bright colours if you want them to land on you, and avoid strong perfume or aftershave, which repels them.
Do not touch or pick up the butterflies; their wings are damaged very easily.
Allow around 90 minutes for the ten domes and the education area.
The domes are covered and air-conditioned, so the garden stays comfortable through the summer, but the humidity inside is higher than outside.
Paths are flat and paved, and pushchairs and wheelchairs are fine throughout.
It sits alongside Miracle Garden in Al Barsha South and the two are easily combined - though note Miracle Garden is seasonal while the Butterfly Garden is open year-round.
Photography is welcome; flash is not.
