Greenhouses to visit in the United Arab Emirates

The Verrière atlas lists 3 greenhouses in the United Arab Emirates, built between 2015 and 2016.

In the Emirates the logic is reversed: the greenhouse protects not from cold but from heat. The three buildings in the catalogue, all opened in 2015 and 2016, are air-conditioned domes devoted to butterflies and rainforest.
