Introduction

Dubai is well-known for its modern skyline, luxurious shopping, and memorable attractions, but underneath the glass towers lies a colorful paradise welcoming visitors from all over the world – the Dubai Miracle Garden. World's largest natural flower garden, it's a "must-see" regardless of whether you are a tourist or resident.
However, if you have ever driven in Dubai before, you realize that at times, finding parking can be more demanding than the journey itself. Parking Lot 3 at the Miracle Garden is one of the best parking spots for you to consider. If you have a trip planned in the near future and want to eliminate any stress, this blog will provide you with easy point A + B driving directions and tips.
Whether originating from Downtown Dubai, Dubai Marina, or even Dubai International Airport, this blog will outline your various routes and give you useful and relatable examples and practical tips to help make your travel is reasonably easy.
 

Why Parking Lot 3?

Before we provide directions, let's outline why Parking Lot 3 is a great option to consider:
  • Close to Entrance – parking lot is a short walk to one of the main pathways to the Miracle Garden entrance.
  • Bigger Space – Allot 3 Parking Lot is generally less crowded than the main parking lots (especially on the weekends).
  • Quicker exit – if your plan is to leave when the Miracle Garden becomes busy, Parking Lot 3 also has quicker access back to the main roads.
Think of it like choosing the lane with the least amount of customers at a busy grocery store. You will be happy you did!
 

Driving Information for Dubai

Below is a list that explains some things to consider before diving into the details of how to drive around Dubai.
  • Use a navigation app (Google, Waze) - either will work really well for driving in Dubai, and both will provide live updates indicating before you encounter traffic.
  • Watch the speed limit - the speed limit is posted on signs in the middle of the road, and it seems that wherever you go on the roads, there is also a speed camera watching.
  • Don't drive during customary congested traffic times - morning peak time is between 8-10 AM, and the evening peak is between 5-8 PM - it will definitely be congested then; so if you can avoid driving during this time, it would be better.
  • Landmarks are helpful - while driving, they will help you to understand somewhat the landmarks and/or images you will visit, but you will also know approximately what areas you are driving to based on a well-known attraction.
     

Driving from Downtown Dubai to Miracle Garden Parking 3

If you are closest to Burj Khalifa or The Dubai Mall, the simplest driving route would be as follows:
  • You would start on Sheikh Zayed Road (E11), headed towards Abu Dhabi.
  • Take the exit off Sheikh Zayed Road (E11) on the Um Suqeim Road (D63).
  • Follow Um Suqeim Road (D63) up to the point that you see the sign for Arjan/Dubailand.
  • Continue to follow the driving signs for Dubai Miracle Garden from Arjan/Dubailand.
As you are approaching Dubai Miracle Garden, you will see another sign that signals the arrival of Parking Lot 3; (note, Parking Lot 3 is a larger, extended parking lot).

Example: Let's say you just finished shopping at The Dubai Mall at 4 PM. The last thing you want is to get stuck in traffic in Business Bay - so, this is helpful; you can easily exit out to Sheikh Zayed Rd E11, and within about 20-25 minutes, you will be at Miracle Garden Dubai ready to hang out!
If departing from Dubai Marina/JBR
 

If departing from Dubai Marina/JBR

If you are leaving from the Dubai Marina neighborhood versus another neighborhood, JBR may experience traffic congestion with some frequency, and you may need to detour around it depending on your departure time. However, taking your departure to familiar territories not only makes it easier to convey it, but it also makes it even easier to connect the point. A simple suggestion would be:
  • Continue on Sheikh Zayed Road (E11) en route to Abu Dhabi
  • Exit off Sheikh Zayed Road going towards Hessa Street (641)
  • Drive straight until reaching the Arjan/Dubailand traffic signs.
  • Again, follow the driving signs for Miracle Garden until reaching Parking Lot 3.
Example: All things being equal, if you spent the morning hanging out on the beach at JBR and decided to head on over to Miracle Garden around mid-afternoon, unless you have heavy congestion to navigate, it also may take another 20-30 minutes. Again, very simple, straightforward signs.
 

At Dubai International Airport (DXB)

Visitors usually want to go directly to the Miracle Garden after they arrive. Here is a description of where to go and the directions.
  • From the airport, go to E11 Sheikh Zayed Road towards Abu Dhabi.
  • You will take Umm Suqeim Street (D63).
  • Continue driving straight towards Dubailand.
  • Staying on this road and following Miracle Garden directions will take you to Parking Lot 3.
Example: This would mean that if you land first thing in the morning at Terminal 3, and you are getting a rental car, with very little fuss, you will reach the garden in about 30-35 minutes instead of three hours not driving.
 

From Abu Dhabi (day trips)

There are visitors from Abu Dhabi who enjoy the Miracle Garden. Here are your directions:
  • You will take E11 Sheikh Zayed Road heading towards Dubai.
  • You will drive until the Hessa Street exit (D61).
  • From that direction, you can still follow the "Arjan / Dubailand" Direction in the UAE.
  • Continue driving straight on that road until you see and follow the directions for Miracle Garden. In this case, you are following directions in the opposite way of Lot 3 parking.
Example: A family would arrive at the garden in approximately 1.5 hours from Yas Island around 9am, so it is a nice weekend day trip!
 

Tips to get to Lot 3 parking

  • Look for landmarks – Nearby, you will see Butterfly Garden and Global Village, which, when you see them, you are getting close.
  • Follow staff/directions – In peak season, sometimes the attendants will lead the cars depending on traffic to another lot, but if you specifically want Lot 3, let them know.
  • Get there early! On the weekends, you typically want to get there before 4pm to better the chances of easier parking.
Have change for parking if you want to, even though it is paid parking due to specific events.
 

What Happens After Parking Your Car

  • Once you park your car at Parking Lot 3, you will notice:
  • A short walk - There is a walking path from the lot immediately connecting to the entrance.
  • Shuttle service - There may be shuttle carts available on busy days that can help guests or families with kids or elderly.
  • A good photo opportunity - You would be happy walking from Lot 3 to the entrance with the nice flower installations, so bring your cameras.
 

Scenario: A Trip Out

Let's create an example:
  • Your Starting Point: You are with your family, in Dubai Marina.
  • Your Plan: You will be eating at Marina Walk for lunch and then on to Miracle Garden in the afternoon.
  • Your Drive: You will leave and leave the marina onto Sheikh Zayed Road and make your way the Hessa Street exit, then to Miracle Garden. This will take about 25 minutes to drive.
  • Parking Lot 3: Lucky for you, there is parking. You found a parking spot right at the walkway.
Experience: You parked the car and you will spend your leisurely 5 minute walking time and along the way, you stopped and enjoyed taking some pictures with the giant flower structures even before entering Miracle Garden.
This is what makes the trip easy and fun when you have good travel route suggestions!
