Mystery of the Nile
Presented on the IMAX Dome

The Blue Nile is known as the Mount Everest of Rivers. Many explorers have tried to navigate the entire Nile, but all have failed. On Christmas Day, 2003, Pasquale Scaturro and a team of explorers set out on an epic quest to become the first to complete a full descent of the world's greatest river: the combined Blue Nile and White Nile, from source to sea. Four months later – on April 28, 2004 at 7:01a.m. – Pasquale and his expedition partner Gordon Brown reached the mouth of the Nile at the Mediterranean Sea, becoming the first men in history to complete this 5,230-kilometre journey.

"The team had to overcome enormous hurdles – suicidal rapids, crocodile attacks, malaria – they've even been shot at by local bandits and arrested by the military," said Greg MacGillivray, producer of the movie. "Their determination to reach their destination was truly remarkable. At a time when the turmoil in the Middle East dominates the news, theirs is an uplifting human-interest story of epic proportions – one that we hope will bring people of all cultures closer together."

Mystery of the Nile tells the story of this emotional and historic expedition, while also exploring the cultural and environmental links between the Ethiopian, Sudanese and Egyptian civilizations. Both a captivating human adventure and a serious in-depth look at this fascinating yet little-known region, Mystery of the Nile promises another exciting and educational giant-screen experience.
