Sprawling over 184 acres of land, the new themed entertainment resort is named Red Sea Astrarium (TRSA), and will transform the region into a diverse leisure destination, focusing on the past, present and the future.

Upon completion, the resort will feature four-world-class hotels, an expansive retail and dining district, and a theatre that will bring shows from around the world to Aqaba.

It will also offer a 4D cinema, a water park, and an entertainment district that includes 16 entertainment attractions, out of which 15 will be designed by Rubicon Group Holding while the 16th attraction will be based on Star Trek, the CBS-owned property designed by Paramount Pictures.

The themed resort will also feature various other attractions like Wonders, an innovative i-Ride which enables guests to visit various crowning achievements of ancient human ingenuity and design around the world; Cradle of Inspiration, a journey through space and time which explores the nature of creativity and inspiration aboard a first-of-its-kind ride system; and Adventure Center where guests can train for extreme adventures like sky diving, rock climbing, scuba diving, and piloting a submarine.

The resort will also host the American Museum of Natural History’s Silk Road Exhibition throughout its Hijazi Gardens.
