Want to experience how being a real rainforest would feel like? Take a trip to Dubai! Sounds truly bizarre, doesn’t it? Like we said, there is almost no experience that Dubai does not form home to. The Green planet, Dubai is a multilevel structure that is maintained at the exact weather conditions of a rain forest in Amazon. There is simply a world inside here consisting of over 3000 varieties of both rare and indigenous flora and fauna. This vast and enclosed ecosystem is also the largest of its kind which forms the ultimate destination for anyone who loves nature. The atmosphere inside can seem unfamiliar with the specific settings of humidity, temperature, and light. However, after a few minutes, you will adapt to it completely and start to breathe in the freshness of the forest life.
