Dubai is constructing a new theme park to honor the Koran~
The nation's director of government projects, Mohammed Noor Mashroom, said that the park will be ready for tourists and visitors by September 2014.
The park will have a garden with plants that are mentioned in the Koran. It will also have an air-conditioned tunnel with images of holy events that are described in the book.
According to the Washington Times, the plan for the park comes on the heels of two other recent project announcements.
The other two projects are aimed at drawing Western tourists - an Angry Birds theme park and to build the world's largest Ferris wheel.
