Plans to construct a unique public park project called ‘Holy Quran Park’ have been announced by the General Projects Department of Dubai Municipality.
The project is expected to be completed by September 2014, according to Eng. Mohammed Nour Mashroum, the Director of General Projects Department, who disclosed the details of the proposed project on the occasion of celebrating the 1000th meeting of the technical committee of Dubai Municipality. The meeting was held at municipality’s main building in Deira, Dubai.
Dubai has spent the past decade creating a playground to match the tastes of the West, much to the chagrin of many of the region’s stricter Muslim nations. By the end of next year, however, the glitzy emirate plans to open a unique public park project called Holy Quran Park to cater to its regional base.
Eng. Mohammed Noor Mashroom, director of General Projects Department at the Dubai Municipality, or DM, announced the $7.4 million plan Thursday in honor of the one-thousandth meeting of the DM’s technical committee, saying it should be completed by September 2014.
The DM said in a press release that the proposed park, to be located in Al Khawaneej, had been designed “from an Islamic perspective to introduce the miracles of Quran through a variety of surprises for the visitors.” Designs include an outdoor theater, fountains, lake, walking and biking tracks, children’s play area, Umrah corner and “areas for showing the miracles of the Quran.”
