  • this is not cemetry this is graveyard
  • What is the differance?
  • A cemetery is a place in which dead bodies are buried. The term cemetery implies that the land is specifically designated as a burying ground. Cemeteries are distinguished from other burial grounds by their location; they are usually not adjoined to a church. A graveyard, on the other hand, is located in a churchyard (Scots language or archaic English language: kirkyard), although a churchyard can also be any patch of land on church grounds.

  • Does anybody know whether this is a muslim or multidenominational cemetery?
  • It is old Graveyard (Muslim burial place) not in use anymore but it occupies big pieces of land now in the heart of city. Once up on a time it must be out of city. Can you imagine how big was city of Dubai ? Now there are gigantic buildings named Baniyas complex on the border of it,
