According to Genesis 6:15 -
"And thus shalt thou make it. The length of the ark shall be three hundred cubits: the breadth of it fifty cubits, and the height of it thirty cubits."
The cubit was about 20inches, so the dimensions of the Ark were 500 feet long by 84 feet wide by 50 feet in height for a total capacity of a little over 2 million cubic feet.
The dimensions put it slight longer and slightly narrower than the Queen Elizabeth II ocean liner.
I had a naval engineer tell me that the geometry of the ark was very sound for an ocean vessel.

I'm not sure but ALLAH(Subhanna wa ta'ala tells us in the Qur'an where the Ark landed.
Sura 11:44
4.It was proclaimed: "O earth, swallow your water," and "O sky, cease." The water then subsided; the judgment was fulfilled. The ark finally rested on the hills of Judea. It was then proclaimed: "The transgressors have perished."
If we look @ a map we can see that Judea is in Palestine.

The dimensions are given in Genesis. when working it out remember a cubit is about 18 inches. Genesis chapter 6 refers!

the only thing the naval engineer didn't tell you is that you can't make a wooden vessel that size, it will fall apart.
