Useful Tips

If you have more time, consider visiting the Dubai Butterfly Garden or the Ras Al Khor Wildlife Sanctuary. For a shorter trip, you can combine visits to the Dubai Miracle Garden and the nearby Global Village, an annual multicultural festival and shopping event. If you're travelling in the summer, consider exploring indoor nature exhibits such as the Green Planet or the Dubai Mall Aquarium. Do not forget to stay hydrated and wear comfortable clothing during your nature adventure in Dubai.
