AS far as we are concerned, there is nothing to raise eyebrows that it has three Guinness records. Those three records include the world’s largest vertical flower garden, the biggest flower structure of the world (Emirates A380 aircraft structure), and the world’s tallest topiary supported sculpture (18M-high topiary of Mickey Mouse).
The water usage
Since it is in a dry country, supplying water to such a gigantic garden is not a joke by any means. The water system of the Dubai Miracle Garden recycles the wastewater and prevents evaporation up to 75%, which is essential to facilitate an uninterrupted water supply. In addition, it requires whopping 750,000 liters per day to function at its fullest.
However, the requirement of the water wasn’t easy at the initial stage as the authorities had to pump seawater from the Sea of Gulf and make it usable. Over the years, they have gone with a better option. Now, trucks draw sewage water around the city and recycle it in the water system to feed the plants in the garden.
Annual renovations dubai miracle garden
As you read previously, it is not in operation right now. It is because the Dubai Miracle garden undergoes annual renovations each and every year from May to October. You have to keep in mind that you only have the opportunity of seeing the garden from November to May every year.
It has one of the world’s largest flower fall
Although it is not yet a Guinness world record, the Dubai Miracle Garden has one of the largest and longest flower walls in the world. With a 1-KM circumference, its spectacular flower wall adds more color to the garden and is one of the main attractions inside of it.
Different themes in different times
Being a flower garden in the desert itself is an amazing feat of this garden; to add more value to it, they change the theme of the garden from time to time. Simply put, you just cannot observe the same Dubai Garden twice if you are not a frequent traveler of it. Also, the new theme has always been better than the previous one, which is something very unique to it, and credit must be given to the people who are working with it.
This factor of the garden is ideal if you are into photography, and it is a rarity to see tourists without their DSLRs. If you know how to click your camera, you hardly find a better place than the Dubai Miracle Garden to capture breathtaking images of flowers. That said, you will have to gain the permission of the authority to bring professional cameras into the garden, which is not a Himalayan task to do so.

The Dubai Miracle garden looks like a cricket ground from an aerial view. But, there are way more colors compared to an ordinary cricket outfield, and even you will be able to see the gigantic structure of Emirates A380 aircraft if you had the opportunity to fly over the garden. It’s that much huge and colorful.
