Visitors to get new free facility at Dubai's Quranic Park
Dubai - The translation facility has been set up in response to the demands of the visitors.
The Dubai Municipality has also launched the Quranic Park App, a smart application to enhance the visitors’ experience and access to multiple services. The app is a platform that offers the Smart Guide service, which depends on Google Map, and guides the visitors through the facilities inside the park.
Once the visitor downloads the app and selects the language from the eight languages available (Arabic, English, Hindi, Chinese, French, Spanish, Russian and Italian), the Smart Guide character will pop up and the camera of the smart phone will be open automatically to guide the visitor to the exhibits in the preferred language. The Smart Guide character that wears Emirati attire and speaks eight languages is yet to be named.
The Smart Guide gives information about the exhibits as per the visitor’s choice, in addition to the facilities such as the directions to the mosque, toilets and the administrative office. The app also helps the visitor by saving the location after parking the car, which helps to find it easily on return.
It gives a brief description about the park, its attractions and facilities, park map and the parking spots. The app also helps the visitor to learn and understand more about the scientific facts of the plants mentioned in the Holy Quran and Sunnah.
