The Science Dome can accommodate 193 visitors and displays the most recent scientific films. These movies encourage visitors to lend due importance to the to science and technology. The films are designed to be interesting and encourage viewers to interact with and become part of the movie.  This goal is accomplished by using state of the art IMAX and DIGI STAR devices. There are shows about space, unique physical phenomena and other scientific areas of study. The Science Dome is oneo f the first of its type in Saudi Arabia and the Middle East.

The concept behind the IMAX experience is to inundate the spectator with larger-than-life images accompanied by crystal clear digital sound effects so as to create an immersion environment. The apparatus used to display IMAX films is considered to be the most powerful in the realm of cinema display, distinguished by it’s clarity of picture. The lamp used in this device is so powerful that it can be seen from the surface of the moon!

IMAX films are engineered so as to be displayed on a curved screen with a diameter of 24 meters! Currently showing on the IMAX screen are the following films:
