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.
