Arabia

Actress Helen Mirren and historian Robert Lacey narrate this educational, historical, fascinating, 50-minute MacGillivray IMAX documentary in which student Chicago filmmaker Hamzah Jamjoom, poetic writer and photographer Nimah Mawwab, and Arabian archaeologist Dr. Daifallah Al-Talhi present their insights and historical perspectives with regard to Arabian culture, science, and religion, which span 2,000 years, as the film showcases the diverse, stunning, and exotic landscapes of Saudi Arabia from its deserts and frankincense trade routes to the Red Sea, explores the ancient Nabataean site of Petra and the abandoned city of Madain Saleh and its tombs, examines the life of Bedouin families and their camels, and delves into the religious pilgrimage known as the Hajj in which more than 3 million devout Muslims journey annually to Meccah and to Ka'ba in Makkah.
