Meraas, a Dubai-based holding company, is set to launch ‘The Dome Box’, a dome theatre that will screen entertaining and educating cinematic productions.

The Dome Box will captivate the senses in a dome with a 360-degree screen offering a unique audio-visual experience that narrates stories evoking wonder and awe. The cinematic explorations and on-screen adventures will take visitors on a memorable journey enhanced with the marvel of cutting-edge technology that places them virtually in the heart of the storylines unfolding around them. 

Accommodating up to 80 visitors at a time, The Dome Box will offer a venue that is ideal for exploration and discovery as well as fun and entertainment. The Dome Box is scheduled to open in September 2015.

Adding a distinctive and highly enjoyable experience to Dubai’s leisure and entertainment offering, The Dome Box is expected to appeal to the city’s dynamic population and tourists alike. School groups will be able to explore educational topics from an unusual perspective at The Dome Box and will benefit from special packages. It will also be the go-to-place for families looking to challenge their imagination and enjoy quality time. For Dubai-bound tourists, the venue will provide a distinctive destination to enrich their visit, which conveniently fits into their itineraries. 

Edris Alrafi, Senior Vice President Leisure & Entertainment at Meraas, said: “We are excited to introduce The Dome Box, a first-of-its-kind venue in the region dedicated to bringing stories to life in this manner. Visitors will enjoy the sensory experience and get dazzled by the characters that all but leap off the screen. The Dome Box is set to create long-lasting memories for visitors of all age groups.” He added: “The launch of The Dome Box marks the beginning of an eventful phase for our division. We are working on a portfolio of several other exciting landmark projects, which we will announce in due time”.

The Dome Box is anticipated to fulfil the need for quality entertainment at indoor destinations. With its central location at BOXPARK, The Dome Box will complement the community’s comprehensive retail, dining, leisure and entertainment offering.
