Last Updated on August 31, 2023 by

Looking for ways to spend more time in nature Dubai is the perfect place to do just that! With its many parks, reserves, and gardens, Dubai is a nature lover’s paradise.

Here are some of the best ways to spend time in nature in Dubai:

Go on a safari in the Dubai Desert

The Dubai Desert is a unique place where both residents and visitors have opportunities to experience the natural world. The area is home to a large number of rare and endangered species that find it hospitable due to water from the Persian Gulf. Local wildlife includes sand vultures, gazelles, and oryx that migrate through the area every year. In addition, it’s an excellent place for diving, snorkeling, and other water-based activities— making it an ideal vacation spot for nature lovers everywhere. 

Desert wildlife finds this area hospitable thanks to the water from the Persian Gulf. The water from this body of water provides a natural habitat for many aquatic species, such as fish and crustaceans. This includes local varieties such as barramundi, tilapia, and shrimp as well as more exotic varieties like amberjacks and king mackerel. In addition, it helps support a variety of local plants and grasses.

As you can imagine, this area is popular with both locals and tourists; it’s an excellent place for diving, snorkeling, and other water-based activities. Many people come here for scuba diving lessons because the area is teeming with colorful aquatic life. Others come for freshwater fishing— both for sport and for food.

Visit the Dubai Miracle and Dubai Butterfly Garden

The world’s largest indoor butterfly park is one of Dubai’s newest tourist destinations.

More than 250 million plants and 50 million flowers can be found in the Miracle Garden. The Miracle Garden is enhanced by the Dubai Butterfly Garden, which furthers the theme of nature in the Dubai desert and transforms the park into a genuine natural oasis. This lovely park is close to the Dubai Miracle Gardens, the biggest natural garden in the world, and is home to over 15,000 colorful and vibrant species of butterflies.

The concept for the first Miracle Garden project was proposed as part of an agreement between Dubailand and Destination Dubai Properties Group. Project development was agreed upon with the Akar Landscaping and Agriculture Company, led by Jordanian businessman Abdel Naser Rahhal. The cost of the project is estimated at AED 40 million (US$ 11 million). Some time ago, part of the desert city of Dubai was transformed into a verdant garden, in stark contrast to the surrounding Middle Eastern countries, which still maintain their modest identities. The Dubai Miracle Garden has actually become a kind of wonder for all locals and tourists in Dubai.

 In fact, Dubai Miracle Garden has become a wonder for all the locals and tourists in Dubai who love to spend their free time in the various flora for six months of the year. By using TicketsToDo, you can reserve  Dubai Miracle and Dubai Butterfly Garden tickets without waiting in line.

The Green Planet

Dubai’s Green Planet features a magnificent indoor rainforest. This rainforest is home to an impressive and diverse 3,000 species of exotic flora and fauna, which is great news for nature lovers. An immersive tropical forest with four distinct levels—the canopy, middle story, forest floor, and flooded rainforests—that functions as a real ecosystem are housed in a vertical glass bio-dome with an origami-inspired design.

A 24 m tall artificial tree with an attached indoor waterfall stands at the center of this magical forest, fostering a thriving environment for wildlife.

In addition to hosting 750,000 visitors each year, Green Planet has also created a learning center for education with classrooms and laboratories where students can attend lectures and conduct experiments in classrooms and biomes to better understand biological sciences.

With the help of your Dubai Green Planet tickets, you can explore a tropical rainforest in the middle of the desert inside the 60,000 square foot, four-story bio-dome that is the Dubai Green Planet!

Explore the Al Qudra Lakes

There are many ways to enjoy a sunny day in Dubai, from relaxing on idyllic beaches to exploring bustling boulevards and a wealth of outdoor attractions. Al Qudra Lakes, a well-known eco-tourism destination, is the perfect place for wildlife watchers and people looking to re-establish a connection with nature for those seeking a more serene setting.

These enormous artificial lakes, which are a part of the Al Marmoom Desert Conservation Reserve and are located among the sand dunes of the Saih Al Salam desert, harmoniously blend into their surroundings. The many bird species that nest here have access to numerous islands as habitats, and low-lying bushes and trees provide food for both birds and insects, though there is little shade for people. 

If you get there early, you’ll find yourself mostly alone as birds sing and a gentle breeze ripples the water. A number of birdwatching towers provide excellent vantage points from which to observe the numerous species of birds, both migratory and native, that congregate here. Ornithologists will want to bring binoculars.

Take a walk in Zabeel Park

Zabeel Park, located in the heart of Dubai, is one of the city’s most popular parks. The park covers an area of over 100 hectares and is home to a wide variety of plant and animal life. Visitors to the park can enjoy plenty of activities, including walking and cycling trails, a children’s playground, and a number of restaurants and cafes.

This urban park, which can be found in Dubai’s east, has three distinct zones: the alternative energy zone, the communications zone, and the technological zone.

The Zabeel Park, which boasts the beauty of natural landscaping, includes a lake, the renowned Dubai Frame, a technology theme park, a children’s educational facility, an amphitheater, jogging trails, picnic areas, and dining establishments.

Zabeel Park is a great place to relax and unwind or to get active and explore the great outdoors. Whether you’re a local or a visitor, be sure to add Zabeel Park to your itinerary.
