UAE residents will now be able to enter Dubai Miracle Garden for Dh52.50 during the Eid holidays, after authorities scrapped the free-entry offer due to overwhelming crowds.

From March 21 to March 31, residents can avail the discounted rate (Dh50 + VAT) by presenting their Emirates ID, replacing the earlier free-access initiative that drew massive footfall.

Dubai Miracle Garden temporarily closed its gates on Friday as Eid Al Fitr brought families and residents flocking to the city’s floral paradise.

Officials said the decision was made “to ensure the safety and comfort of our visitors” and apologised for the inconvenience, urging the public to understand the situation.

The revised offer follows an initiative launched from March 15 to 31, which allowed UAE residents free entry without prior reservations or limits on visitor numbers. Open daily from 9am to 9pm, the attraction quickly witnessed an unprecedented surge in crowds.

Officials said the volume of visitors had become difficult to manage, prompting both the temporary closure and the introduction of a controlled, discounted pricing structure.

The regular resident rate remains Dh73.50 (Dh70 + VAT).
