The set of flowers is located near the Great Mosque and the Sheraton Hotel. This floral clock differs dramatically from those that can be seen in other cities around the world.

The dial with hands is located on a small hill that is framed by amazing landscape ornaments of stone and an artificial pond with fountains. The dial is just the same as that of the clock in Geneva, but the mechanism is very different from the Swiss one. It was formed taking into account local climatic conditions.

All of the flowers and plants decorating the flower beds are also selected taking into account the harsh climate. Since its opening, the flower clock in Abu Dhabi is a popular tourist attraction. It is a stop for special bus tours. Some travelers get a taxi to watch the landmark. Even in the hot weather, the pleasant coolness embraces the clock. Guests of the city will have an opportunity to get on the rocks near the pond and watch the fountains, as well as to make photos of one of the most unusual live attractions of the country.
