Garden of Lights in Dubai * 76

Dubai always conjures up something new for its visitors. The latest is the Garden of lights, a garden that is lit up by bulbs and creates an enchanting place, replete with Dinosaurs, Animals, and Fairytales. The medium for all these depictions is colored lights. It's a tremendous achievement and I suppose the first such garden in the world.

The garden is open from 4-11 pm and is simply an enchanting place. The artists have created a magical sultans palace, animal world with tigers and lions and a special prehistoric age with dinosaurs. It's all great fun. In addition, there are lovely ballet dances and some of the girls wear shorts, showing lovely legs. No sign of any prudery or religious rhetoric here.
Among the popular exhibits are animals all around a water hole, a replica of the grand mosque, and the palace of the sultan. A series of graphics in the ant world is another delight. The entrance is AED 60 and that is a little steep. However at the end of the day, one feels its money well spent. There are many stalls selling foods to eat and drink, but no beer and hard drinks. In a way, this is a good thing as lots of children visit this garden
