00:00Home to thousands of butterflies, the Dubai Butterfly Garden opened in the first quarter
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
00:40about this project, butterfly garden, because it's undercover, under AC.
00:46To make like this unique project in the desert, in this weather, for the people, it's amazing.
00:54The round-shaped butterfly park covers around 4,000 square meters and consists of nine domes.
01:00Each dome is filled with different species of butterflies in 24 varieties from several
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.
01:18We create for them 24 degrees temperature.
01:21It's good for the butterflies, good for the indoor plants and flowers, and the most important
01:26for the people.
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.
01:41We have a special team to maintain everything inside the garden.
01:46We make for them training before opening.
01:48They are take care about butterflies, of course, to feed them, to take care about them, and
01:55also they are doing with the visitors.
01:58They will teach you how to do with the butterflies, what's the right way, how to catch it, how
02:05it will come to you, to play with here, like this.
02:09Visitors can also learn about the butterfly's life cycle and its different stages of growth
02:13and gain insight into its miraculous metamorphosis at the Butterfly Glass House.
02:17The park is also home to the first butterfly and insects museum in the world.
