The Dh60 entry fee was not a deterrent in attracting over 150,000 visitors to Dubai's latest tourist destination, Dubai Garden Glow, in its first month.
The Dubai Municipality on Sunday announced that the glowing garden in Zabeel Park, which opened its doors to the public on December 23, has received an overwhelming response and is hopeful of closing the season with a 1 million visitor count.
In a statement issued on Sunday, Mohammed Abdul Rahman Al Awadi, director of Public Parks and Horticulture Department, said the garden was the first successful joint venture between a private company and the municipality. Going by the figures, the facility raked in an income of Dh9m in just one month.
"We have an exciting line-up of activities centered on kids and education being planned up by the management team to strengthen its position as the latest family destination that offers an unforgettable experience," said Al Awadi.
With phenomenal structures made with luminous recycled silk fabric and four million energy saving LED lights, this glow-by-night destination has topped the charts as a favorite family destination with a unique experience with a difference, the municipality claimed.
"Our team is rejoicing the overwhelming response and we greatly appreciate the word of mouth and social media support we have received from our visitors and feel this is the best part of our marketing strategy. We are leaving no stones unturned to make Dubai Garden Glow a 'must visit' destination for residents and tourists alike," said Al Awadi.
The picturesque location is dubbed "a photographer's delight" and is said to enter the list of the most photographed destination in the region.
Another spokesperson told Khaleej Times the Sparkling Garden is the most photographed installation inside the Garden Glow. "The photographs have gone viral across social media platforms," she said.
The busiest corner of the facility is the Live Show Arena that has three shows timed at 6.15pm, 8pm and 10pm, she added
