Opens February 12, 2010:
An All-New IMAX Theatre Film Goes Behind The Veil On A
Journey Into The Exotic World Of Arabia
From the Academy Award®-nominated producers of Everest
and Grand Canyon Adventure: River at Risk comes an
all-new IMAX Theatre experience—Arabia—about the
extraordinary culture, history and religion of Arabia.
Steeped in ancient history and unique customs not found
anywhere else in the world, Arabia mystifies us,
shimmering like a desert mirage. For more than 2,000
years, its people have flourished in one of the harshest
environments on the planet. Yet little is known about
its fascinating culture which has remained hidden from
the West for far too long.
Now, with the full force of IMAX cinematography, Arabia
takes viewers deep into the heart of this exotic land
where they’ll experience firsthand the mystique of
Arabia both past and present. Like visitors on a magic
carpet ride, audiences will discover the lost city of
Madain Saleh and explore its ancient tombs; they will
travel with a camel caravan along the early frankincense
trade route; they will share in the lamp-lit warmth of a
Bedouin family tent and travel back in time to the
Islamic Golden Age where Arabian science and scholarship
flourished; and they will survive a desert sandstorm and
dive the coral reefs and ancient shipwrecks of the
dazzling Red Sea.
Viewers will also join in the extraordinary pilgrimage
known as the hajj where every year 2 million Muslims
arrive in the holy city of Meccah to reaffirm their
faith, creating the largest single human gathering on
Earth. In a series of stunning time-lapse images, Arabia
takes viewers deep inside this holiest of cities for a
climactic scene of spiritual renewal.
A powerful and surprising giant screen tour de force—and
the first major film production to be granted access to
more than 20 locations across Arabia—Arabia offers a
deeper understanding of this most fascinating culture
and way of life that has been largely hidden from our
view.
ARABIA is produced and distributed by MacGillivray
Freeman Films and will premiere in IMAX Theatres and
IMAX 3D Theatres starting February 2010. It was filmed
entirely in the highest quality 15/70 film format.
