The mystery of the 'doomsday' cinema, built in the desert but not a single person has visited for more than 30 years

Located on the southern tip of Egypt's Sinai Peninsula, the abandoned cinema dubbed the "Doomsday Cinema" is a place that makes many tourists extremely curious.

According to the story, this cinema was built in the 1990s by a Frenchman named Diynn Eadel . It is known that the inspiration to build this place came from when Diynn went to the Sinai desert.

Location of the "apocalyptic" cinema.

After witnessing the majestic beauty of the place, he wondered why not build his own cinema in the middle of the desert? He then flew back to Paris to arrange the budget, went to Cairo to buy seats and projection equipment from an old cinema and returned to Sinai. There, he set up a generator and a giant tractor to pull up the giant sail-like projection screen and hoped for a successful premiere.

Unfortunately, on the night of the premiere, local officials were unhappy that the theater had been built without their permission, and a generator malfunction also prevented the opening that night or any other night.

It was once expected to be the only theater in the world.

The French's crazy dream of cinema in the desert went up in smoke and the cinema was left behind from that time like a monument to the Pharaohs, forgotten and buried for many years.

After more than 30 years in the harsh desert, the rows of seats are now completely rotten and rusted. It creates a scene similar to a desolate, post-apocalyptic world. This place is even known as "the cinema at the end of the world".

In April 2018, the Egyptian government closed the area, leaving the cinema out of sight. However, the story of the cinema that has never shown a film or welcomed visitors has attracted the attention of many people.

Unfortunately, this place was completely closed in 2018.
