The Holy Quran Exhibition, held in the holy city of Makkah, has attracted over 40,000 visitors since its opening 12 days ago, reported the Saudi Press Agency on Sunday.

The exhibition is organized by the General Secretariat for Exhibitions and Conferences, in cooperation with the King Fahd Complex for the Printing of the Holy Quran.

The visitors hailed the information presented at the exhibition, including Saudi Arabia's boasting of the largest printing press in history that has published and printed the Quran.

The exhibition boasts large display screens that recount the story and stages of the establishment of the King Fahd Complex for the Printing of the Holy Quran in Madinah.

It includes a number of pavilions that inform visitors on the annual and total publications of the Complex, and the stages through which the printing of the Quran goes through.

The exhibition also highlights the copies of the Quran that are printed by the Complex in all narratives and interpretations in all languages.

Everyone attending the exhibit receives a copy of the Quran during their visit.

UK Travel Disrupted as Storm Bert Fallout Continues

Britain's roads and railways were hit by closures on Monday after Storm Bert battered the country over the weekend, causing widespread flooding and killing four people.

There were more than 200 flood warnings and flood alerts in place across England and Wales, while trains from London to the southwest were cancelled and rail services in central England were severely disrupted.

"Do not attempt to travel on any route today," Great Western Railway, whose trains connect London to Bristol and Cornwall, said on X.

Among those killed during the storm were a dog walker in North Wales and a man who died when a tree hit his car in southern England.

Major roads in Northamptonshire and Bristol were closed, while fallen trees on rail lines cut off services between London and Stansted Airport, Britain's fourth busiest hub.

The disruption comes after Storm Bert hit Britain late on Friday, bringing snow, rain and strong winds.

The Met Office kept a warning for strong winds in place for northern Scotland on Monday and said the storm would clear from that part of the country early on Tuesday.
