JEDDAH: The opportunity to go to the cinema in the city where I was born, Jeddah, is a dream come true. As an avid movie-lover and cinemagoer whenever traveling outside of Saudi Arabia, I feel privileged to be able to visit movie theaters in my own country, thanks to the many reforms taking place in the Kingdom.
I can book tickets via my online account, calmly selecting seats and show times without the stress of delaying others in queues at cinema box offices.
Vox Cinema in Jeddah is located at Red Sea Mall, which means cinemagoers can pop to the shops or enjoy a meal with friends or family before the film.
My first experience with Vox Cinema was a screening of Spider-Man: Into the Spider-Verse which I watched with my younger brother. I remember being so excited as I found my seat. The halls were clean, the seats comfortable, and the staff friendly and accommodating.
As the movie began, I found myself immersed in the whole experience which was enhanced through the surround-sound system.
Since then, I have been to several more showings in the IMAX and kids’ theaters, and I am yet to be disappointed.
