Arabia is a strange and mysterious place to outsiders. Frequently appeared in news reports of mass media yet rarely visited by foreigners and captured by cameras, Arabia is a world cloaked in myths and mysteries, resulting in misinformation and sparking endless curiosity.
Audiences of Omnimax Show"Arabia: In Search of the Golden
Ages" will set out on a visually stunning journey into the heart of the history-laden Arabian Peninsula ˇV to cross sand dunes in a camel caravan, to dive into the reefs of the shipwreck-laced Red Sea, to excavate the towering tombs of a dazzling lost city, to witness the moving spiritual journey of the Hajj and, above all, to meet the new generation of Arabians who are forging new paths in a contemporary moment of historic transformation.
