It requires a lot of water, to maintain any kind of gardens in the desert, but imagine trying to keep the 45 million flowers bloom continuously. And opened the park with an area of seven hectares, during the month of February in outside the city limits. And receive colorful flowers, planted vertically iconic visitors to the park. And it is maintained plants using sewage system and drip irrigation.
Dubai can boast a world record for the longest number of flowers wall (800 meters), and the largest hour of flowers in the world, and the tallest pyramid of flowers.

The existence of a place for winter sports in the desert, something unimaginable. It occupies ski resort “Ski Dubai” 25 thousand square meter
Fun watching runners in the desert
The best advice for roaming in the desert in Dubai, through the leadership of four-wheel drive air-conditioned, to watch a group of runners as they walked on the highways in remote areas. The rise in temperatures often exceed 40 degrees, however, deter participants jogging seems impossible.
