Can you imagine a tropical
rainforest that too in a desert like Dubai? Well, Dubai has its own rainforest
now with over 3000 species of animals, plants and free-flying birds. The Green
Planet Dubai is open to public and is indeed astounding. So, if you have a curious mind and wish to
explore the unique world and wonders of rainforests, then Green Planet Dubai is
a place for you, during your Dubai Holiday. This Green Planet designed in the
form of enclosed ecosystem is a bio-dome of 900-square metre boasting an
enchanting world of living beings in the tropical forest and a centrepiece in
the form of largest man-made indoor tree that is life-sustaining and stands at
25 meters.
You will marvel at the
sight of the birds and other creatures flying and roaming freely around you.
The lush and natural world around is an immersive experience at the Green
Planet Dubai and would leave you in complete awe. This vertical rainforest
maintains the temperature and dampness of the facility exactly similar to a
real rainforest so that visitors have the similar experience of the ecosystem.
This facility was developed with the help of leading zoologists, scientists and
architects across the globe as an educational and recreational resource for the
people of all the ages and varied interests. Located at the City Walk in
Jumeirah, this ecosystem gives you the glimpse of how the different life-forms
co-exist and how the ecological balance is maintained. You can even have the chance
to feed and pet the animals and birds out here but under the supervision of the
staff at the Green Planet Dubai. This facility was created with an aim to
educate children and families regarding the ecosystem and how they should be
preserved along with life forms.
There are four levels in
the facility which can be explored by the people through a spiral walkway built
around the central giant tree. The topmost level i.e. Canopy gives the
panoramic view of the vertical facility and is the roof of this tropical
rainforest absorbing most of the sunlight. Next is the midstory, where the
trees have large leaves to absorb the light filtered by the canopy. After this,
is the forest area receiving barely any light and very humid and dark. At the
lowest level of the facility is the Flooded Rainforest which provides
appropriate conditions to all living beings in order to survive. You will find
many turtles, arapaima, stingrays and many other aquatic species swimming in
the aquarium here.
From colourful parrots perching
on the branches of the trees to butterflies hovering and resting on your hands,
this rainforest is an amazing world with so many exotic birds, porcupines,
sloths, snakes, bees, turtles, crocodile lizards, insects etc. The rainforest
is absolutely safe for even small kids to visit and you will find staff at
every level, providing you information regarding different species of flora and
fauna. The tickets to Green Planet Dubai cost AED 95 for adults and AED 70 for
children aged from 3 to 12 years. It is open every day from 10 am to 10 pm and
is indeed a marvellous experience for people from different walks of life.
