AlQur'an Al-Akbar Palembang, also known as the Giant Qur'an of Palembang, is an awe-inspiring religious landmark located in Palembang, a prominent city in South Sumatra, Indonesia. This unique attraction is renowned for housing a massive replica of the Islamic holy book, the Qur'an. It features beautifully inscribed pages that are mounted on giant wooden structures, allowing visitors to appreciate the Arabic calligraphy on a grand scale. The complex surrounding AlQur'an Al-Akbar includes a park, making it an ideal place for both contemplation and leisure. AlQur'an Al-Akbar is not just a symbol of religious significance, but also a work of art and a testimony to the skills of Indonesian craftsmen who have bridged traditional Islamic artistry with modern-day tourist interests. Visitors are welcomed to witness the grandeur of this religious artifact while gaining insights into Islamic culture. Moreover, the site also functions as an educational center where people can learn about the Qur'an and Islamic teachings. Its serene location adds to the spiritual ambiance, inviting people of all faiths to explore and reflect.
Entrance fee is only Rp20,000. Ample parking space.
The exhibit is huge in size and they are only half-way into completion.
Would recommend to visit when you are in Palembang.

Not worth it
Outskirt of normal tourist area. Road to go there not maintained. Narrow and frequent by heavy vehicles. Tonnes of potholes. The place itself is under renovation. Not disabled friendly and a bit dusty..
This place should be a very good, instagramable spot. However, the road to get there is awful. They can polish it a little bit to make it better.
