About this audio guide
This guide to the Dubai Butterfly Garden traces how the team behind the neighbouring Miracle Garden opened the world's largest indoor butterfly sanctuary in 2015, ten domes held at a constant twenty-four degrees and stocked with fruit feeding stations for over fifteen thousand butterflies from fifty species. It moves dome by dome, from monarchs and swallowtails to a koi pond beneath the flutter, before pausing on the outsized Atlas Moth clinging to a leaf.
