Dubai just opened the world’s first ‘Quran themed’ park called ‘Al-Quran Park’. Situated in Dubai’s Al Khawaneej area, the park was inaugurated on Friday.

The park’s excursions feature the miracles of Islam as listed in the Holy Quran. The main objective of establishing the park was to bridge inter-faith distances.
