There is another place in Sharjah called Al Noor Island Butterfly House. Here are 500 butterflies. Dubai, on the other hand, has 15,000 butterflies in a big indoor area. That’s why Dubai’s gardens are so great. The exhibit of Al Noor Island is where people will be able to see the butterflies. However, it’s smaller and located outside, unlike Dubai’s, which is inside and has more space for the insects.
