How to Go to Dubai Miracle Garden by Metro & Bus
Quick answer: take the Red Line to Mall of the Emirates, then RTA bus 105 from the station's bus platform straight to Dubai Miracle Garden — about 25–30 minutes for a few dirhams on the same Nol card. The garden is seasonal: roughly October/November to May, closed through summer.
Step-by-Step
- Red Line to Mall of the Emirates. From Downtown ~15 min (AED 5); from Deira/airport ~35 min (AED 5).
- Find the bus platforms at the station's ground level and board route 105 (serves Barsha South/Miracle Garden/Butterfly Garden). Tap the same Nol card.
- Alight at Miracle Garden — the bus stops by the entrance area; Butterfly Garden is the neighbouring stop.
Bus 105 timings flex with the garden's season — check the S'hail app on the day. Off-season, the garden is closed and the trip isn't worth making.

Timing Tips
- Go at opening (usually 9 am) or after 4 pm — midday queues and heat are the classic mistakes.
- Combine with Ski Dubai/Mall of the Emirates since you pass through anyway.
- Returning after dark? Buses match garden hours, and the last metro leaves Mall of the Emirates around midnight (1 am Fridays).
