Dubai Municipality Opens Quranic Park For Public

Dubai Municipality has recently opened the Quranic Park for public free of charge. The park was developed in Khawaneej on an area of 64 hectares at a total cost of AED 200 million. During the first week of opening the park received 100,000 visitors.

Dawoud Al Hajri, Director General of Dubai Municipality, said: “The opening of the park comes in the Year of Tolerance, launched by His Highness the UAE President, and in implementation of the directives of His Highness Sheikh Mohammed Bin Rashid Al Maktoum, Vice-President and Prime Minister of the UAE and Ruler of Dubai.

“Dubai Municipality has developed this park to promote the Islamic cultural and civilizational roles, as the park contains cultural elements that bring closer the interaction 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 alike,” pointed out Al Hajri.
