Action-packed opening of the Middle East's first outdoor cinematic entertainment now heavily anticipated
DUBAI United Arab Emirates: Hydra Properties, a pioneering UAE-based real estate developer, is all geared up to enthral film lovers with a memorable theatrical experience through the November 10 opening of Hydra OpenAir Cinema, an al fresco motion picture presentation made possible by a partnership of Hydra Properties with SwissOpenAir Concept AG, global entertainment giant based in Switzerland.
Featuring for its maiden show the newest Bond flick, Quantum of Solace, the Hydra OpenAir Cinema will be at the Madinat Jumeirah in Dubai for 12 nights straight and then head on with the parade to the Emirates Palace in Abu Dhabi. Twenty-four Arabian Nights of multicultural movies, international cuisine, and breathtaking shows will give thousands of visitors the unique opportunity to experience outdoor cinema for the first time in the Middle East.
Commenting on Hydra's new venture into the entertainment arena, Dr. Sulaiman Al Fahim, CEO of Hydra Properties, said, "It is with great pleasure that we present Hydra OpenAir Cinema to all who enjoy superb attractions, scrumptious food, and stress-relieving shows. Hydra's commitment lies not only on offering the most profitable investment opportunities to its patrons with iconic projects in the UAE, the Middle East and worldwide but also on delivering value-added services to everybody else. This, now, is in the form of regional-first entertainment concept embodying world-class movies from Hollywood, Bollywood, and the Arabic show business."
Anticipating a very warm response from residents in the UAE, the Hydra OpenAir Cinema expects to attract up to 2,000 visitors per night throughout the duration of the show. Much of the appeal is leveraged on the event being a first in the entire region, as well as on Swiss OpenAir's patented mobile hydraulic screen technology.
Measuring over 400 square metres, the screen will rise up over three stories high to captivate thousands of viewers, and will be complemented by a 32-speaker surround sound system to achieve mesmerising audio-visual harmony and perfection. Certainly, such an assembly of the latest technologies is bound to magnetize the energetic youth, which is the primary target of this event. Tickets are priced at Dh50 and are available at all Virgin Mega Stores and online at the TimeOut website.
Opening at six in the evening, Hydra OpenAir Cinema will follow a different theme each night, with themes ranging from comedy, drama, suspense, to British and Russian movies. In addition, a sales event of Hydra's current offerings of prestigious lifestyle projects will be coinciding with the main attraction of the night. Developments to be featured to interested homebuyers will include Hydra Towers, Hydra Twin Towers, Hydra Heights, Marina Spirit, and Hydra Avenue and will come with affordable, top-value financing. The integration of a sales event within the nightly entertainment show will offer visitors the highest level of convenience in purchasing a home and obtaining high-life leisure simultaneously.
