A New Dimension of Cinema

The technology provides thrilling and lifelike experiences — from deep-sea diving and space travel to volcanic eruptions and jungle safaris. It also bridges education with entertainment, offering children engaging films on science and nature, while families enjoy new and unforgettable adventures together.
Equipped with cutting-edge high-definition projection, 3D/7D effects, and surround sound, the 360-degree cinema promises a truly immersive and realistic experience. “This is not just about entertainment,” Mizgar emphasized. “It is a blend of knowledge, adventure, and unforgettable moments.”
