Dubai Miracle Garden And Global Village Shopping Tour

Great trip, everything went smooth. The driver was on time. He took us from one place to the other and was clear with how much time we had to spend at each place and where he would pick us up at the end. So, it’s basically a driver service, not a guide, but this is what we expected.

This place was recommended to us buy the concierge at our hotel on The Palm. Personally I found this a bit overrated. While the spectacle itself is quite impressive the variety of plants is extremely limited making it feel a bit “same” all the way through. The aspect which caused the most disappointment was one of the food vendors that surround the garden itself. We picked the roasted chestnut and roasted corn on the cob vendor. The price was not advertised but I heard him quote the price to the customer ahead of me. On the basis of that I ordered I portion of each. I should have checked what I was charged right then and regretted it later. I believe I paid four times what the quoted price was. I was charged AUD 92.02 or AED 237.50 for something I believe should have been AUD 36 or AED 92.92. Please be aware. Ask the price and make sure you’re only charged what you agreed to pay. Personally I don’t think this place is worth the money. When you add the taxi fare, entry fee and cost of snacks and realize it’s a tourist trap, there are much better ways to enjoy your money.

We found that we did not need more than one hour to visit and see The Miracle Garden. When you go to the Global Village at 4:00, it appears to be underwhelming, but when it gets dark out, with all the lights, it is gorgeous. You need days to get through the countries represented. We did not do any amusement rides.

Waited 2 hours sitting in the lobby. There was no communication from anyone to let us know the reason for delay. Driver didn’t appear to care for our inconvenience at all. He was helpful and polite but not very professional.

The driver, Chamanzada, arrived early. He was friendly and knowledgeable. There is no personal tour guide as listed, just a driver. We were dropped off at the Miracle Gardens. Lots and lots of flowers. Many floral displays. It was pretty cool, but crowded with families. Then off to the Global Village. We really didn't know what to expect. Again, very crowded with families. It was basically a huge food court with vendors selling clothes, fabrics, jewelry and spices. The Global Village was disappointing since I don't care for the foreign foods available. Not much American foods. Very few sit down restaurants - mainly to go and you hope for somewhere to sit. It was a 5-6 hour tour .... we were done in 4 hours It was something to do. Miracle Gardens score an 8/10 Global Village score a 4/10

The compositions of living flowers are like something out of a fairytale. It takes 4-5 hours to see everything. It's best to enter the garden two or three hours before sunset and stay after sunset. The garden is worth seeing during the day and with the lights on.

The gardens were absolutely beautiful. We had a group, so the check in was expedited. Our driver was great and we were allowed enough time to thoroughly enjoy the excursion.

Miracle garden was beautiful and 2 hours was more than enough time to cover the sites. Global village was spectacular and comes to life around 6pm when most entertainment starts. Similiar to a smaller version of a Disney Epcot. Jaswail our driver was communicative and pleasant and a wonderful tour host who made our experience outstanding.

That was one of my best experience, I love every second of it. Definitely will recommend to family and friend.

I initially booked this trip for two people since the price for one person and two were the same, ($230, which did not make sense to me). In the morning I’d the trip, I contacted Viator to see what was the pick up time. I did not receive any response. I then contacted them again given the provided contact info, at least three additional times. I finally ended up messaging customer support around 1pm (tour started at 3 pm). She informed me that she was looking into the issue. Around 3 pm, I requested a refund for the transportation. At this point, my friend had another event scheduled early the next morning and decided not to go. So, I ended up going solo since this was my first trip to Dubai. Customer service refused to refund me for transportation or the total of the tickets and still could not provide me with an ESA for the driver. The driver Jaiswal ended up picking me up at 5 pm, two hours after start time. The Gardens and Global Village were both beautiful places to visit. The service through this particular company was unprofessional and Viator did not handle the issue well. For the price of the ticket, I expected to experience the full tour and I missed 2.5 hours with absolutely no accommodations or refunds for this. There was also a couple with a toddler with me that was disappointed that they had traveled far from home and waited on the driver with no response. Had I not reached out to Viator, I would have never been picked up for this tour and they did not care at all about it. I’ve seen other tours to Miracle Gardens and Glibal Village that are sold separately and I would suggest choosing another company to book through. Or, purchase the pass without the driver and just take an Uber (Careem) or taxi would be easier. Jaiswal was actually great once he finally picked us up. He was vary apologetic and waited on us for the duration of the tour. It was easy to WhatsApp him to get in touch when we were ready to leave.

Gardens were amazing! Beautiful plants and flowers creating a wonderful scenery and Sculptures. Global village is huge with lots to do, from shopping eating and having fun! From all around the world 🌎

The Gardens was out of this world! An amazing creation of plants and flowers everywhere you looked. Global Village is HUGE. Lots to see and experience and too buy if you wish from all over the world! Our driver Jaiswal was very helpful and patient waiting for us at both sights Would differently recommended this tour. We booked this the day before going at short notice and it all went extremely well and smoothly 🙂

It was a lovely experience. The miracle garden is beautiful. The global village is a wonderful experience, good food and nice cultural diversity

Miracle Garden is a must see experience. One of a kind and beautiful flower sculptures. Global village is nothing like I ever saw before. A massive, Epcot like experience with different countries and shopping. Everyone should experience salt least once. My tour guide Jaiswal was on time, friendly, and it was worth every penny.

Wonderful experience. Beautify photo op! Definitely recommend visiting here. My friends and I loved it.

Fantastic! Loved this tour. We were fortunate and able to control how much time we spent at each attraction. The driver was pleasant and easy to communicate with. I would highly recommend

Jaiswal was our tour guide and the driver. During the tour he told us lot of good information and history of Dubai. He made us feel comfortable by providing water and charging our phones. Outside the attractions, he took plenty of good pics of us. He stayed late and dropped us to great restaurant for the dinner. Really enjoyed the whole experience.

The Gardens were amazing, several beautiful photo opportunities. Then the sun went down and we had to take more photos. The Global Village was worth going back to see more. The traffic was terrible, but our driver navigated well and got us around safely. Whew!

Lost in a floral paradise at Dubai Miracle Garden, then globe trotted through cultural wonders at the Global Village! It was a kaleidoscope of cultures and a bouquet of blooms. And to tell you the truth, my senses are still on vacation! 🌍🌼

We had a lovely day although our driver was lovely, we felt very uneasy in the vehicle as he was constantly looking down at his mobile phone to check directions, on a very busy highway. The Miracle Gardens were stunning and I would definitely recommend this trip. The Global Village was a wonderful experience, make sure you wear comfortable shoes and be prepared for a lot of walking to make sure you can enjoy this amazing experience and see everything and allow plenty of time. A truly amazing day.

Great tour and service. Jaiswal was very professional and knowledgeable about the tour. Book through Viator, it was worth the price

The driver was very helpful. He gave a lot of information to make the visit to Miracle Garden and Global Village an enjoyable experience.

We had so much fun at the miracle gardens and global entry. Our driver was very kind and knowledgeable of both parks. Would definitely visit again. There was so much to see and global village had so many food choices.

I really enjoyed my time at the Miracle Garden and Global Market. My tour guide was on time and we always knew where to find him when it was time departure. So I happy I booked!! We booked with Jaiswal!

The tour was exceptional! Jaiswal, our guide, was extremely gracious and obliging, ensuring we had everything promised and adapting the schedule to the group's preferences. I highly recommend this tour and Jaiswal as a guide.

We were in Dubai enroute to Cape Town and fortunate to be there during the Global Village & Miracle Gardens season. It's a distance from New Dubai, so having an experienced driver like Jaiswal is a necessity. He knows the traffic short-cuts and where to park. Allow 45-60 min transit time to the garden, and returning late from Global Village (opens 4pm) will get you back into Dubai in 30 min. Jaiswal said most people think 3 hours at Global Village is not enough, and I agree; hope to visit again to spend much more time. The shopping and stage entertainment is awesome & I found the prices fair. There are foods from countries around the world. I loved the fact you can rent picnic seating; but we ate in a Turkish restaurant. This tour allowed 2 hrs at the garden, but unless you have kids, you can do it in 1 hour.

We really enjoyed our trip to the Miracle Gardens and Global Village. I went with my mom and daughter. Jaiswal was a great driver and very courteous, he helped us seamlessly get into both locations and picked us up after, helping us avoid the crowds and long lines. Miracle Garden was beautiful - so many flowers, plenty of photo opps and just overall a nice place to spend time at. Global Village was crowded and hectic - I liked some pavilions better than others. We enjoyed the variety of foods and shopping options, and overall it was an amazing day. When summarizing our trip in Dubai, my mom said that was her favorite day of all!

The Dubai Miracle Garden and Global Village is a perfect combination. Both places are breathtaking. I was overwhelmed by the beautiful sights.

We had a great time visiting the miracle garden and global village. The miracle garden is beautiful and captivating for children and adults. The global village is huge and and very entertaining. Despite being the Sunday crowd and pending arrival of a Bollywood superstar, Jaiswal was adept at providing a hassle free access to both sites. Our trip from downtown Dubai was very comfortable, safe and Jaiswal had water on hand, as needed. We really enjoyed learning more about Dubai culture from Jaiswal and he is very kind and polite gentlemen. Highly recommend this experience.

Nice place to visit. So many things to see so little time. Thsnk you Jaiswal for being patient with us that travel with you. Our family that have 3 young children are a challenge but Jaiswal was patient. Thank you.

Tour was very good great experience, it surprised my expectations, our driver jaiswel was very helpful and punctual at every pickup location, he was also a very experience driver

unbelievable experience. beautiful place will recommend to everyone. operators are amazing on time pick up

The views were great! The driver was fantastic! I was fortunate to be a solo passenger (my husband did another tour) so it became a private tour. I was able to take a lot of photos - plus the driver helped me take photos of myself without my asking him to do so. He was a great guide! Kudos to him!!!

Had a great time. Jaiswal was very helpful kind and supportive. Good driving and knowledgeable about dubai.

The flower creations at the Dubai Miracle Garden were unique and beautiful. There were lots of great photo opportunities. The Global Village was an extraordinary display of food, clothing, entertainment and so much more among different countries. I highly recommend a visit here. We really appreciated the friendliness of timeliness of our driver Jaiswal.

The driver whi picked us up was great Jaiswal was always laughing, explaining to us, he wss great as well as really gekpful6and supportive. A great way to discover these 2 beautiful landmarks.

Jaiswal was our driver and was very kind, communicated well to us with the very heavy traffic he encountered and we had plenty of water as these are both outdoor stops. The Miracle Gardens is fun - lots of flowers. The Emirates plane was cool. The Global Village was fascinating due to the countries represented. Very clean and bright at night. I was expecting more about the cultures of each country but it was all shopping and food.

My husband and I came to Dubai for our 20 year anniversary. We choose this excursion because we have been all over the world. Mr. Jaiswal picked us up and drove us to both destinations. He was very courteous and a safe driver. He even took pictures of us in front of both places before we went inside, which was very nice. Mr. Jaiswal kept the car cool with water waiting. We took some pretty cool pictures and have a lasting memory. It was a great experience.

Sami Ullah our driver was on time, courteous, and made sure that we got into each venue. The air conditioned vehicle was comfortable and clean. Sami supplied everyone with water. We were very pleased with our driver and recommend this company. Thanks Sami for your kindness and making our day perfect.

Unbelievable experience! The garden was breathtaking. We were given the perfect amount of time at each destination. Global village was so fun. Tons of food and shopping! Our tour guide Jaiswal provided top of the line customer service. I was extremely impressed and would recommend everyone to book this activity!

My husband and I had the pleasure of having Jaiswal as our driver. He arrives on time and got us to our destinations safely. He explained any questions that we had and was very knowledgeable.

We highly recommend Jaiswal and looking forward to cone back and request his services again!!!! Thank you!!

We had a total blast at the Miracle Garden plus Global Village Combined Tour Package. Our Driver Guide was Mr Jaiswal who was very friendly, punctual, caring and guided us very professionally throughout the tour with the history , cultural and ethnicity of Dubai. He was truly the best part of the trip combined with miracle Garden and global village. The tour lasted for half a day (6-7 hours) with Miracle garden proving to be an experience closer to nature and global village being the big fest of all the world nations at a single place.... The grandeur of both these places is amazing and words can't describe how amazing it looks The connectivity was also good without any delays. If you're a family this is a must go! Again thanks to Mr Jaiswal for being an excellent travel guide for us first timers!!

It was an amazing experience! The owner was great! He picked us up from our hotel made sure to txt us great communication made us feel very safe!!

The Miracle was amazing, so many beautiful flowers to see. The designs are breathtaking, I keep looking at my photos. The Global Village is a shopper's paradise.
