Ismaili Centre and Landscape Park Dubai

This is from Dubai at Randon of dubaiatrandom.blogspot.com. The blogger writes …

One of the world’s largest Ismaili Centres is currently under construction in Dubai, and, directly across from it and by the same developer, a Landscape Park. Both are constructed using a white stone, but I’m not expert on identification of stones, so I’m not sure what kind of stone it is.

The outside of the centre looks complete, and the grounds are nicely landscaped, but the centre is not yet open.

The Landscape Park also looks complete, except that there is no water in the complex system of channels and fountains. There is, however, a line of clothes drying, apparently those of the night watchman.

Beside the Landscape Park are several pallets of brick, though I can’t see anywhere in the park to build anything else. There are several covered areas for people to rest, and a winding path about the size of the track around a football field for people to walk around inside the park.

But over each entrance to the park is a sign that says ‘Closed,’ and the gates are locked.
