The Green Planet-City Walk Dubai

A man-made Latin American rainforest bang in the middle of Dubai is truly an amazing place to be in.

Covering a mammoth 60,000 square feet the huge glass dome houses 3,000 species of unique flora and fauna. There’s a lot to see here—right from hyacinth macaw and porcupines to crocodiles and snakes. The Green Planet is also an architectural wonder since with its cylindrical shape, it appears like a piece of folded origami art. The Green Planet has been developed by Meraas and it’s operated by the Zo Oceanarium Group. It has established itself as a top destination among the many tourist hotspots in and around Dubai.

Once you’re inside the Green Planet, you feel like you have reached a genuine tropical forest, such is the attention given to every minute detail. The artificial Kapok like tree that has risen up to a height of as much as 25 meters spreading its branches far and wide across the facility is a major attraction here. This is the largest tree of its kind in the world and made up of vines and figs and the life--sustaining tree is home to many plants, birds and animals. The air within the dome is filled with a mist arising from a waterfall within it.

The tree covers all the elements that constitute an ecosystem and it’s situated right in the center of the bio-dome. There are four levels—the Flooded Rainforest, the Forest Floor, the Midstory and the Canopy. Every corner of the bio-dome is filled with surprises. There’s a zone of intrigue and mystery at every turn with the Australian Walkabout, the Reptile Encounter, the Bat Cave and the Sugar Glider Encounter waiting to surprise you. You may also hold a real python, a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity.

You may explore the different levels by taking the spiral stairway or for more ease, you may take the elevator. Make your way through a rope suspension bridge that takes you to a tree house for a closer view of the amazing artificial Kapok tree. If the scorching heat and the dryness of the desert land have got to you, a break from it beckons at the Green Planet with its lush greenery and cool environment. It’s a must-visit place for nature enthusiasts as well as all those who appreciate greenery.
