There is something rather lovely about stepping off Al Qana’s waterfront into a tropical world full of butterflies. Two climate-controlled domes take you from the Americas to Asia, with blue morphos, koi ponds, exotic birds and the occasional sloth adding to the spectacle. It’s immersive without being exhausting, and the small wildlife details reward anyone who slows down rather than rushing through for a photograph.

★ WHAT WE'D DO

“Start with the American dome to spot the blue morpho butterflies, then cross to the Asian dome for the larger moths and birds. Go slowly and watch the leaves rather than only looking for butterflies in flight.”

♥ LOCAL TIP

“Spend a little longer beside the planting and water features, where butterflies are easier to spot when settled. The gardens are opposite The National Aquarium, so the combined ticket makes sense if you want to do both; Al Qana also has extensive free parking.”
