5 Must-Visit UAE Farms for a Blooming Good Time!

Thought UAE is all skyscrapers and desert? Well, you need to think again! Hidden across the country are lush farms bursting with colorful blooms, organic goodies, and adorable farm animals waiting to welcome you into their world. So, grab your sunhat and pack your camera because this weekend, you could be sipping coffee surrounded by flowers, picking up farm-fresh honey, or even saying hello to a particularly chatty goose. Sounds like a plan? Here are five UAE farms that are totally worth the visit: 

1. Wadi Asimah Flower Farm (Masafi, near Ras Al Khaimah & Fujairah)

Tucked away in the scenic Masafi area, this UAE Farm is a breathtaking surprise! Wadi Asimah Flower Farm, with its rolling fields of vibrant flowers, is the perfect escape for nature lovers and Instagram addicts alike. Stepping into this floral wonderland of over 300,000 flowers blooming in an explosion of color is nothing short of magic. Think larkspurs, hollyhocks, gladioli, sunflowers, snapdragons, and marigolds, all grown from carefully hand-picked seeds by the farm’s owner, Al Mazroui. Unlike most farms in the UAE that rely on greenhouses, this one embraces open-air farming, letting nature work its magic under the sun. But when the summer heat kicks in, Al Mazroui takes his green thumb to Bosnia, where he tends to another farm – because, well, one floral paradise just isn’t enough!
