In line with Dubai’s aim of becoming the world’s most visited destination, Dubai Miracle Garden today opened doors for local and international visitors for its eleventh season. Visitors to the world’s largest natural flower garden will enjoy never-before-seen floral and water-themed attractions. As the 11th season coincides with the FIFA World Cup, the region’s biggest sporting event, characters from The Smurfs will be seen sporting jerseys of different participating nations in the park.
Engineer Abdel Naser Rahhal, Creator and Co-Founder of Dubai Miracle Garden, said: “We are excited to open the doors for our 11th season. As one of the UAE’s top attractions, Dubai Miracle Garden is proud to contribute to Dubai’s tourism ecosystem by offering a unique and diverse experience to residents and overseas visitors, further enhancing the city’s position as a year-round must-visit destination. We are proud to play a role in making Dubai a global destination for lifestyle and tourism.”
The destination is gearing up for a renewed sense of confidence amongst international visitors as a post-COVID world allows for easier and safer travel plans. A team of designers and sculptors have put the final touches on multi-sensory exhibits and attractions that appeal to children and adults alike. Engineer Rahhal added: “We are delighted with how Dubai Miracle Garden has grown from strength to strength over the years. With every new season, there are high expectations to surpass the creativity, innovation and scale of floral exhibits we’ve had in the past. In the 11th edition, Dubai Miracle Garden is prepared to bedazzle its visitors more than ever before.”
He continued: “The Smurfs attraction was a huge hit during our milestone season last year. So, this year, we have scaled up the level of entertainment and the characters’ involvement in the garden. We’re also extremely proud to reflect the excitement around the World Cup within the garden. This year, visitors at Dubai Miracle Garden will feel at one with nature, multi-sensory experiences and family entertainment.”
Iconic characters from The Smurfs will wear jerseys of different participating nations in this year’s FIFA World Cup when the competition officially kicks off on November 20th. This is expected to create buzz and excitement amongst visitors to snap a picture and show their support for their favourite team in the company of their favourite character. The characters will stand at four meters in height and blend with the picturesque flowers in the garden. Following last year’s positive responses and success, The Smurf Village will be expanded to cover more area within the garden and host newer characters.
Beginning October 10, Dubai Miracle Garden will open daily from 9:00am until 9:00pm during weekdays and from 9:00am until 11:00pm on weekends (Saturday and Sunday) and public holidays. Admission tickets are priced at AED75 for adults (over 12 years old) and AED60 for children aged 12 and below. Children below the age of three and people of determination can access the park for free.
