Local and International Media Tour Science Fair at Third Dubai International Peace Convention

Science Fair Features First of its Kind Smart Peace Dome Designed in 7D Technology 

Dubai-UAE: 20 April, 2014 - Dubai Media Incorporated, the media partner for the third Dubai International Peace Convention that concludes today (19 April), hosted a special tour of the Science Fair for local and international media representatives. A key attraction at the convention, the science fair showcases the creation of the universe as depicted in the Holy Quran. Each section of the exhibition embodies a part of God's creation, including the constellation of galaxies, formation of the atmosphere, the earth, mountains, oceans, as well as the wind cycles and evolution of mankind. 

The tour for media representatives culminated with a visit to the first of its kind Smart Peace Dome that has been designed in 7D technology. The Smart Dome showcases the story of the nations that flourished in the past, their way of life, the goals they pursued, the values around which cultures were organized, as well as the actions and consequences of those actions.

Held under the patronage of His Highness Sheikh Mohammed bin Rashid Al Maktoum, Vice President and Prime Minister of the UAE and Ruler of Dubai, the peace convention opened on 17 April at the Dubai World Trade Centre.

Mariam Al Afridi, Marketing and Corporate Communications Director at Dubai Media Incorporated and Head of the third Dubai International Peace Convention Media Committee, said: “The Science Fair is an invitation to reflect and meditate on God's creation of life. Through the exhibition, we also seek to highlight Islam as the source of all sciences. Nothing on this earth happened by coincidence; it is God's will and wisdom that He created and gave us a sustainable system, including the nature with all its wonders of humankind.”  

The Science Fair also featured stands for the convention's sponsors including Emaar (Platinum Sponsor), Lulu Hypermarket Group (Gold Sponsor), as well as Dar Al Ber Society, Sharaf Travel, Al Rostamani Group and Emirates Real Estate Solutions (Silver Sponsors). 

Seeking to highlight the true image of Islam and its tenets of peace and non-violence, the Dubai International Peace Convention examined the Holy Quran as a doctrine that promotes harmony, tolerance and moderation in the world. The three day event also sought to build bridges of cooperation among diverse cultures and religions with a view to harmonizing international relations.
