Not everyone gets the chance to go on a real hunting adventure – but AlMegnas, an immersive interactive experience, makes this possible for visitors at ADIHEX.
Those who step into the booth are instantly transported to the desert, right in the
middle of the action.
First, a live show recreates a traditional hunting trip in the UAE desert, with a group of actors delivering an impressive theatrical performance. Then, a virtual reality feature takes visitors on a digital hunting journey in the desert, where they compete for the highest score while navigating a 3D environment.
The two-stage immersive experience is designed not only to entertain, but also to educate. By using cutting-edge technology, AlMegnas brings cherished traditions and the vibrant UAE heritage to life for the children and the youth. It also promotes a gaming culture rooted in Emirati identity.
“Visitors unite in a shared moment of passion, testing their skills and discovering the thrill of competition,” ADIHEX said in a post on X, describing the AlMegnas experience.
At its core, AlMegnas reflects the nation’s steadfast commitment to presenting and preserving heritage in a way that resonates with younger generations.
