53°C outside, ideal conditions inside
At the heart of Bayan Botanic Garden stands a 3,500 m² botanical glasshouse where six themed gardens and four climate zones bring together plants from around the world.
Despite outdoor temperatures reaching 53°C, advanced climate systems carefully regulate temperature and humidity, creating ideal conditions for both plants and visitors year-round.
6 themed gardens. 4 climate zones.
Inside the botanical glasshouse, six themed gardens recreate tropical, dry, Mediterranean and European environments. Advanced climate control systems maintain the ideal conditions for a diverse collection of plants from around the world.
Designed for exhibitions, receptions and business meetings, the glasshouse combines innovative glass architecture, climate engineering and horticultural expertise in one unique visitor attraction.
