About this audio guide
This guide to Dubai Miracle Garden follows Abdel Naser Rahhal, a Jordanian landscaping engineer who set out to grow the world's largest flower garden in the middle of the desert, and the four hundred workers who built it in two months before its 2013 opening. It traces the recycled-water system that keeps it alive through triple-digit heat, and the record-setting installations tucked among the beds, including a flower-covered airplane and an oversized Mickey Mouse topiary. Look for the irrigation lines running beneath the beds, quietly working through the night.
