Arabia Now Playing At Fernbank's IMAX Theatre

Now Playing through July 29, 2010

Experience this region of the world as it was in the past, and how it has evolved in modern day. Arabia takes viewers on a journey through the lost city of Madain Saleh to uncover its ancient tombs; ride along a camel caravan through early trade routes; trek through desert sandstorms, and go underwater through coral reefs and historic shipwrecks that lie at the bottom of the Red Sea.

The film also highlights hajj—the largest human gathering on Earth—where every year three million Muslims travel to the holy city of Mecca to reiterate their devotion to Islam.

Fernbank Museum Offers Rare Glimpse into a Land Steeped in Mystery and Myth in New IMAX® Film, ARABIA

A land steeped in mystery and myth is revealed in stunning dimensions in the thought-provoking new film ARABIA, which opened in Fernbank Museum’s IMAX® Theatre on March 12, 2010. The film unfolds the story of an extreme desert environment that through the riches of global trade, a deep devotion to faith and its people’s thirst for knowledge, has become one of the most powerful, yet least understood, regions on Earth today.

This kaleidoscopic portrait of Arabia delves into the storied past and impending future through a mix of contemporary images of modern-day life, epic historical recreations, and visual effects that will allow theatre-goers to ride the dunes with a camel caravan, dive into the treasure-laden Red Sea, explore the ruins of a towering lost city, hurtle back into the Islamic golden age of invention, join three million Muslims on the Hajj pilgrimage, and get to know the young Arabians transforming tomorrow’s world. The result is a surprising and illuminating journey that not only unveils an often hidden world -- but also serves as a bridge between two cultures that have long misunderstood one another.
