Planet-tinyum

May 04, 2023 - May 13, 2023

As part of the AlUla Skies Festival, the world’s smallest planetarium came to AlUla – The Planet-tinyum. This awe-inspiring experience took you on a journey to the furthest reaches of the universe and showed our place within it.

This immersive out-of-this-world experience filled visitors with the wonder of the universe and revealed their connection to it. It took them on a journey through the stars above AlUla, before returning to zoom inwards to explore their bodies on a sub-cellular level – and its cosmic origins. As well as an enduring sense of awe, visitors could also take away a laser-engraved metal souvenir disc and photo QR-code as mementos of this stellar experience.
