How Can You Reach the Garden?
The Miracle Garden is located in Al Barsha South 3, Dubailand, around 20 to 25 minutes from Downtown Dubai. Visitors can reach the garden by metro, bus, taxi, or private car, making it easy to visit from different parts of the city.
By Metro & Bus
This is the cheapest way to get there.
- Take the Red Line metro to the Mall of the Emirates.
- From Bus Stop 04, right outside the mall, hop on RTA Bus 105, which goes straight to the garden.
- The bus ride is short, and the fare is about AED 5.
- Buses run every 20 to 30 minutes, with the trip taking 15 to 20 minutes.
Tribe Travel Tip: For early morning visits, a taxi or private car may be more convenient, as Bus 105 does not always start operating when the garden opens.
By Car or Taxi
This is the fastest and most flexible option.
- By car, it is about 30 minutes from the city centre via the E311 road.
- Free parking is available right at the garden.
- Taxis, Uber, and Careem all drop you at the main entrance.
Tribe Travel Tip: parking fills up fast on Friday and Saturday afternoons in peak season. Reach before noon on weekends to avoid the rush. Cabs are usually easy to find, even at closing time.
Option | Cost | Time | Best for |
Metro + Bus 105 | Lowest (around AED 5 + metro fare) | Longest | Budget travellers |
Car (self drive) | Fuel + free parking | 30 mins | Families, groups |
Taxi / Ride apps | Highest | 30 mins | Comfort, door to door |
What Should You Know Before Your Visit?
When planning to visit the garden, keep enough time for exploration. It's because most visitors spend around three to four hours exploring the garden. Additionally, if you also wish to visit Butterfly Garden Dubai, which is located right next door, set aside at least five hours to enjoy both attractions without rushing.
Here are the main things to keep in mind before you go:
- Go mid-week if you can: Tuesday, Wednesday, and Thursday mornings are usually the least crowded. Compared to a busy Friday afternoon, you'll spend less time waiting, move around more easily, and enjoy better photo opportunities.
- Wear comfortable shoes: The paths mix pavement, gravel, and grass. Two hours in flip-flops is not fun. Trainers or good walking shoes work best.
- Carry a water bottle: The food stands get busy around lunch, and even in the cooler months, a long walk in the sun leaves you thirstier than you expect.
- Give yourself enough time: Most people think three hours is plenty, but four hours feels right. Adding the nearby Butterfly Garden? Plan for five hours or more.
- Book your tickets online. It takes two minutes and lets you walk straight in. On busy weekends, the gate line can run 20 to 30 minutes.
- Outside food is not allowed inside. There are many food and drink outlets across the garden, so you will not go hungry. Just do not pack snacks to eat on a bench inside.
- No drones without prior approval. Drone flights are not allowed unless you have arranged permission from management in advance.
Tribe Travel Tip: Save a digital copy of your ticket on your phone. The garden scans live e-tickets at the gate, and screenshots are sometimes not accepted.
