History
Opened in 2015 as an extension to Dubai’s seasonal botanical attractions, the Butterfly Garden was designed to showcase insect life cycles and horticultural pairing in a controlled desert microclimate.
Conservation
The garden relies on captive-breeding and carefully selected host plants to avoid stressing wild populations; visitors are asked to follow no-touch rules and stay on paths to protect habitats.
