An extraordinary bio-dome in the heart of Dubai is the greenest summer destination that awaits residents and tourists. The Green Planet, located in City Walk Dubai, offers an awe-inspiring tropical rainforest experience with over 3,000 plants and animals.
Team KT journeyed into the green haven as part of the #DubaiDestinations campaign, which seeks to showcase the city's top-rated summer experiences and highlight unique attractions that make the emirate a one-of-a-kind summer destination.
Entrance to paradise Upon entering The Green Planet, visitors are immediately transported into a captivating rainforest environment, where animals roam freely and vibrant birds soar overhead, creating an unparalleled experience of being one with nature.
Meet the majestic toucans The indoor rainforest is a haven for various animal species, including the majestic South American toucans. Its oversized, bright orange bill is captivating on its own.
Rainforest wonders from different perspectives This sanctuary is divided into different levels: From the fourth floor to the Canopy, Midstory, Forest Floor, and Flooded Rainforest, each one is thoughtfully designed to showcase every part of a rainforest that plays a key role in maintaining a delicate ecosystem.
The giant kapok tree At the heart of this immersive experience stands an 82ft-tall gigantic kapok tree with an artificial trunk, representing the resilience and grandeur of nature. As visitors gaze upon this towering wonder, they can't help but feel a profound connection with the beauty of the natural world.
