Dubai, in many ways, is and continues to be a miracle. No one needs any reminding that this place, once just hundreds and hundreds of kilometres of desert, with a handful of buildings that you could count on your fingers, can now put any world city to shade.

Dubai's jaw-dropping and picture postcard skyline is the envy of many other cities and the emirate is also home to many modern marvels.

If you are a resident or a tourist, you are spoilt for choice on the array of activities the city has to offer. One among them that blooms in all its splendour is the Dubai Miracle Garden. The popular destination, which is the world's largest flower garden, is home to 150 million flowers of 120 different varieties. Different themes have been created using flowers, with the mock-up of Emirates Airline's A380, Heart Tunnel, Umbrella Tunnel and the Floating Lady being some of the standouts.
