 هذا هو الواقع الحسي

Better than Virtual Reality, with Sensory Reality you stand inside a custom ‘Pod’, which surrounds you with 360-degree sensory effects including wind and haptic sensations. 

It is so realistic you’ll believe you’re truly flying, driving and floating through the real AlUla!

 What Will I See and Do?

 
ArtifactCard02.jpg

You’re a modern-day archaeologist

…cataloging the AlUla area by scanning, learning about and preserving these wonders for future generations.  It’s going to be a fun mission! 

OT03a.jpg

But… just as you begin, a sandstorm is threatening to scatter precious artifacts throughout AlUla! 

It’s now a race against the clock to stay ahead of the storm. 

 

Are you ready to feel the wind on your face, twists, turns and moments that will literally take your breath away?

As you visit virtual AlUla inside the Pod, you’ll be able to discover wildlife, jewelry and other ancient artifacts from throughout history. You’ll collect them all in a digital journal.  When you are finished, we will email them to you so you’ll have a personalized, digital souvenir of your AlUla Adventure!

It is so realistic, you’ll want to visit AlUla for real.
