Well, this reminds me of the time I visited the Miracle Garden in Dubai. Last year I went on a weeklong vacation to Dubai with my family. We visited many popular locations, but the Miracle Garden was the most picturesque of all. The garden is an oasis with a variety of flowers, trees, and bushes. It is much more beautiful around spring and summer when the sun shines warmly on the flowers radiating blissful energy.

There were many individual sections in the garden, including a tulip courtyard which is considered spectacular; a rose garden, and an exotic plants house. The management encouraged us to plan for a day-long trip and include a picnic kind meal inside the garden where stalls were arranged. Also, there was a fountain in the middle of the courtyard with a beautiful statue made of marbles situated at the centre.

In addition, there are several seating areas arranged around the garden that are quite popular for pictures. This part of the garden is surrounded by numerous species of roses and lavenders. I have taken several pictures posing with my family and the photos turned out to be absolutely splendid. We later wandered down cobblestone paths that lead between the brightly colored plants.

It was a delightful experience for me. I always loved flowering plants; I have my own mini garden at home so I had a terrific time at the garden in Dubai. I would certainly visit again if I ever go to Dubai again.
