00:15of this year, adding to the list of Dubai's stunning attractions.

00:19The Dubai Miracle Garden is also the region's first butterfly garden.

00:22We think about the butterfly garden near the miracle garden because, you know, as in

00:29Dubai in this time, in summer time, weather outside is too much hot.

00:34To attract the people and our visitors to come to us, to visit us all the year, we think

01:05tropical countries.

01:06It is also one of the biggest covered butterfly gardens in the world.

01:09For us, big challenge was the temperature, because butterflies, they like 29 degrees,

01:15but for the people, it's too much hot.

01:21It's good for the butterflies, good for the indoor plants and flowers, and the most important

01:27And as you see, no humidity.

01:30There is a flower park at the center of the domes in the shape of big butterfly with 3D

01:34flower designs.

01:35The butterflies feed on nectar plants in the garden, which also come in different colors.
