dubai — The number of visitors who have been to the newest landmark park in Dubai — the Quranic Park — has crossed the 100,000 mark just a week after its opening, the Dubai Municipality has said. Situated in Al Khawaneej, the Dh200-million park spans an area of 64 hectares. It was developed mainly to promote the Islamic culture and its role in building a civilisation.
Entry to the park is free, but for visitors who wish to explore the Cave of Miracles and Glass House, a nominal fee of Dh5 is charged for each. Nol card payments are accepted.
Dawoud Al Hajri, director-general of the Dubai Municipality, said: “The park contains cultural elements that bring the interaction closer between different cultures. It also comes within the policy of increasing the green area in the emirate and the diversity of different landmarks. The park will be an important attraction for citizens, residents and tourists.”
Faeqa Akram, an architectural engineer at the Dubai Municipality, said the park consists of 12 gardens containing 45 types of plants that were mentioned in the Holy Quran
