Dubai — A new park that uses gardens and landscaping to tell stories from Islam’s sacred text has opened in Dubai, offering locals and tourists a day out with a religious twist.
The educational park, which seeks to attract Muslims and non-Muslims alike, features 12 gardens, a “Cave of Miracles”, and a split lake symbolising Moses parting the Red Sea. “My children had learned about these plants, and they had some questions about the Quran and the miracles,” said Emirati visitor Omar al-Kaabi.
