Turn right down the main path when you enter Dubai Miracle Garden and you’ll see a line of cute Floral Houses. Straight out of a fairy tale, these little villas and bungalows have exterior walls and roofs dotted with lilac, lavender, orange and lillywhite flowers as well as leafy greens.

While the houses sadly aren’t made for human inhabitation, they would be right at home in the Shire, and look stunning against the backdrop of tall trees that line Dubai Miracle Garden.

Some are one storey, some are two – all of them would make a suitable setting for a fantasy story.
