Quranic Park is a journey into the heart of Islamic heritage. Spread across a massive 64 hectares, the park is filled with lush gardens and themed areas that showcase stories and plants mentioned in the Holy Quran. From exploring the Islamic Garden and Desert Garden to stepping into the special Andalusia-inspired zone, every corner has something new and enlightening to discover.
If your family enjoys hands-on learning, they’ll love the Cave of Miracles. Through interactive technology, this space showcases some of the Quran’s most powerful stories – like the parting of the Red Sea or the tale of Prophet Uzair. Right next door is the Glass House, home to plants and trees mentioned in the Quran and Sunnah. Think olives, figs, pomegranates, and more – each with an explanation of their cultural and medicinal importance.
Nature lovers will enjoy walking through the 12 orchards filled with plants that not only look beautiful but carry deep meaning in Islam. And here’s something even cooler – the park is eco-friendly! It features solar trees that help power the area while also offering places to charge your phone. So yes, you can take selfies guilt-free knowing it’s all sustainable.
This isn’t just a park for learning – it’s also designed for family fun. Kids will have a blast in the play areas, and there are walking and cycling tracks for those who want to stay active. You’ll also find an outdoor theatre (might be too hot for this one though), on-site WiFi, and peaceful spots to sit and relax. There’s even a lake inspired by a Quranic event, adding to the calm vibe of the park.
Hungry after all that exploring? Stop by One Coffee House inside the park for a quick bite, or plan a family picnic under the trees. For something more indulgent, head just around the corner to Last Exit Al Khawaneej, where food trucks dish out all kinds of fun treats. Grab a coffee from Cupagahwa, snack on mini doughnuts from DOH, or treat yourself to burgers from Mr Brisket or Krush Burger.
The best part? Entry to the Quranic Park is free! It’s open daily from 9am to 9pm, and you’ll need about 1–2 hours to explore. However, there’s a small fee of AED 5 to enter the Cave of Miracles and Glass House. You can use your NOL card to pay (the same one used for public transport). Kids under 6 and people of determination can enter those areas for free! Pro tip: visit between early morning and sunset for the most pleasant weather and golden light for photos!
So if you’re looking for a family-friendly spot that blends learning, fun, nature, and culture – all wrapped in a peaceful atmosphere – Quranic Park is the place to be this Eid Al Adha. It’s relaxing, educational, and full of moments you’ll want to capture and remember. Don’t forget to bring your NOL card, comfy shoes, and an open heart for discovery.
Happy Eid and happy exploring!
