Experience Centre

18,050 sqm of VR, 5D and immersive theatres where visitors relive the Hijra, the 27 Ghazawat and the battles of Badr, Uhud and Al-Khandaq — then stay to dine and shop. Base case: the operator's consolidated pro-forma (ProFun for Midwam, January 2025) on LDP's attendance forecast; LDP's lower-margin case is carried as the downside.
