The seven-minute original film takes guests on an aerial journey over Saudi Arabia’s most iconic natural and cultural landmarks, from mountain ranges and deserts to coastlines and the UNESCO World Heritage Site of Hegra. Guests are surrounded by a 26-meter 85-foot domed screen, enhanced by synchronized motion seating and environmental effects including wind, mist, and scent, creating a fully immersive, multi-sensory flying experience.

“We are thrilled to collaborate with industry leader Brogent Technologies to launch the largest flying theater in the Middle East,” said Emad Aleisa, CEO of Takwenat. “Beyond its 8K visuals, the experience uses distinctive cinematography and multi-sensory storytelling to create a deep emotional connection to Saudi Arabia’s landscapes. Visitors can feel as if they are walking alongside pilgrims in Mecca, experiencing the atmosphere through sound, scent, and subtle motion, creating a truly memorable and emotionally engaging journey.”

“The opening of Flying Over Saudi reflects the growing demand for premium, technology-driven immersive attractions across the Middle East,” said Chih-Hung Ouyang, Chairman of Brogent Technologies. “This project demonstrates how flying theater platforms can blend advanced ride systems with cinematic storytelling, offering a landmark experience that connects culture, tourism, and entertainment across the region.”
