For the love of butterflies-a new interactive reserve that houses over 10,000 of them will open in Abu Dhabi this September.

Located next to the National Aquarium Abu Dhabi at Al Qana, the reserve will offer a unique natural experience, serving as a vital addition to the tourism, education, and environmental landscape in the emirate.

He emphasised that the garden is not merely a tourist attraction but a nature reserve aimed at deepening understanding of ecosystem interconnectivity and inspiring visitors to engage with nature in a meaningful way.

Besides the thousands of butterflies, the reserve will feature lush tropical landscapes within climate-controlled domes designed to simulate diverse ecosystems from around the world.

The butterfly reserve will be divided into two zones-Asia and the Americas-focusing on species native to each region.

The Asia dome will host species like parakeets, koi carp, and a variety of Asian insects. Visitors will be surrounded by butterflies as they explore the dome, offering them memorable photo opportunities.

Earlier this month, the capital welcomed the teamLab Phenomena Abu Dhabi, a new multi-sensory art experience in the Saadiyat Cultural District of Abu Dhabi.
