The Cultural Village Foundation – Katara continues to provide an exceptional experience to visitors through Al Thuraya Planetarium shows, which offer a variety of documentaries and movies for children to enrich their knowledge about space and the different galaxies in the universe. At the beginning of this month, it held a range of shows, including “Dawn of the Space Age 3D Show”.
More shows will be held this month and on August 1.
Children get the opportunity to “travel” through outer space and discover our solar system through a different set of eyes in the movie The perfect little planet, which introduces a family from another star system seeking the perfect holiday spot.
The Al Thuraya Planetarium is based in Katara.
Occupying an area measuring 2,240sq m, the Al Thuraya Planetarium is expected to become one of the main attractions at Katara.
