It’s almost here! Miracle Garden is all set to welcome guests from September 29. Ringing in Season 14, the attraction is gearing up to awe people with its enchanting new themes. However, the ticket prices have slightly soared as compared to earlier years. While UAE residents used to enjoy the attraction for an entry cost of AED 60, this time around, it’s been increased to AED 100 (the general ticket price for tourists). This essentially means that both residents and tourists will end up paying up the same amount this season.
