Zip down Sheikh Zayed Road after hours and you’ll discover a park that is home to all things bright and beautiful – as Dubai Garden Glow has reopened.
Returning for the fourth year, the huge attraction promises to be bigger and shinier than ever.
Designers have introduced three new themes to the park: the Glowing Safari brings dozens of new animal sculptures, the Ice Park boasts creations made from more than 5,000 tons of (you guessed it) ice and there is a brand-new Art Park, which is made from used bottles, plates and CDs.
From about 5pm the sun begins to set over the towering skyscrapers of Dubai and the park slowly starts to light up. Darkness in December descends by 6pm so it doesn’t take long for the main attractions of garden glow to come alive. I don’t think any of our littles were expecting it to be so bright and colourful so there was a lot of marvelling in awe at the displays.
