An Abandoned Outdoor Movie Theater in the Desert of Sinai

Somewhere on the southern tip of the Sinai Peninsula in Egypt, nestled at the foot of a desert mountain range, sits a peculiar sight that is almost completely out of place: hundreds of seats for an outdoor movie theater. Estonian photographer Kaupo Kikkas recently visited the desolate location and brought back these amazing shots of a decaying dream. He shares via his blog that the theater was built not too long ago by a man from France with considerable means. Tons of old seats and a generator were hauled in from Cairo, not to mention a giant screen that looked like the sail of a ship.

Everything was set for opening night, with one small problem. Kikkas says the locals weren’t particularly keen on the whole idea and decided to discreetly sabotage the generator. A single movie was never screened. So now it sits in the middle of a desert, a random movie theater that was never used. You can still see it on Google Maps.

Ando a descarrilar na ausência dos dias
passam as coisas por mim e nem as vejo
vejo de outra maneira qualquer
que não deve ser a dos olhos
uma miopia constante nas minhas horas
nas minhas palavras
e nos meus dedos

a memória às vezes ajuda-me
e sou eu que passo pelas coisas
as coisas passadas têm outra importância
as que ainda vêm são ausentes

então fico-me numa intermitência
entre o que é importante e o inexistente
e isso dá um resultado de: nada
como o nada não existe, deve ser preto
e eu não vejo no escuro

mas isto de ser cego não é só culpa dos olhos
vem de outro sítio qualquer
