If you've always wanted to go to the tropics, then there's a spot in Dubai that offers you the entire experience, without the need to get on a plane.
Dubai's Green Planet, a biodome with the world's largest man-made tree, opened its doors to the public on Sept.1. People have been snapping photos of that wonderland of greenery and tropical animals on Instagram for all of us to see. It's a real feast for the eyes.
It is the region's first-ever biodome.
The place features more than 3,000 plants, animals and birds that will get you feeling like you've traveled all the way to the Amazon rainforest.
Take a look for yourself:
You get a real rainforest feel out of it
Yup, that looks like a real rainforest to me...
There's even a canopy walkway that cuts through it
This adorable upside-down sloth doing his thing
And this friendly toucan
Who knew this creature would look this good up close?
Beautiful butterflies just chilling
Birds being love birds
Hard to believe colors like this exist in nature
