Quranic Park is a themed public park in the Al Khawaneej area of Dubai, built around plants and stories mentioned in the Holy Quran. It opened in 2019 as the first park of its kind anywhere in the world, sitting on roughly 150 acres of gardens, lakes, and walking trails.
The park welcomes visitors of every faith and background. Its two main attractions, the Glass House and the Cave of Miracles, focus on education and universal values rather than religious teaching, which makes it an easy, interesting visit for families, tourists, and school groups alike.
Quranic Park Timings 2026
The park stays open throughout Ramadan too, though hours can shift slightly during the holy month, so it’s worth checking ahead if you’re planning a Ramadan visit.
Ticket Prices & Entry Fees
Walking through the gardens and around the lake costs nothing. The only paid parts are the Glass House and the Cave of Miracles, at AED 5 each, so seeing both attractions comes to about AED 10 per person. Payment at both attractions is made using a NOL card, the same contactless card used on Dubai’s public transport, and there’s a NOL recharge kiosk right outside the Cave of Miracles if you need to top up.
The Glass House
The Glass House is a domed greenhouse holding 29 plants and trees mentioned in the Holy Quran, including olive trees, pomegranates, bananas, wheat, barley, corn, and basil. Each plant has a display board explaining its Quranic reference and its traditional medicinal use, making it a genuinely interesting stop even if you’re not familiar with the source texts.
The Cave of Miracles
The Cave of Miracles is a man-made cave with seven interactive displays depicting miracles described in the Quran, including stories connected to Prophet Musa (Moses) and Prophet Uzair. Visitors move through the cave watching short video clips at each stop, with a guide directing you to the next display. It’s built as an educational walkthrough rather than a religious service, so it works well for visitors of any background who are curious about the stories.
The Lake & Musa’s Crossing
The park’s centrepiece lake includes a sunken walkway designed to recreate the story of Musa crossing the sea. From the side, it looks as though visitors walking the path are moving straight through the water, which makes it one of the most photographed spots in the park.
