There are 21 Madame Tussauds in the world, and I was for one appalled that Dubai didn’t have one as yet. I guess the wax gods sensed my dismay and now it seems that Madame Tussauds Dubai is here!<\/p>\n

What’s more exciting is that Madame Tussauds Dubai has opened next to Ain Dubai <\/a>(Dubai’s version of the London Eye and the largest observation wheel in the world), on BlueWaters Island off Dubai Marina. With entertainment hubs cropping up in the city, left, right and centre, I can’t wait to see what this island has in store. Here is a first-hand account of what you can expect and everything you need to know before you make a visit.<\/p>\n

Why Visit Madame Tussauds Dubai?<\/h2>\n

\"Madame<\/p>\n

In 1836, Madame Tussauds established a base in London at Baker Street Bazaar which the Punch Magazine coined as the “Chamber Of Horrors”. It was named so for it displayed gruesome relics of the French Revolution. After Madame Tussauds death, her son shifted her work to the current location of Madame Tussauds London. In 1972, the first oversees Madame Tussauds was opened in Amsterdam and ever since there has been no looking back. Today you’ll find one in locations all around the globe including Bangkok, Beijing, Berlin, Delhi, Hollywood, Hong Kong, Istanbul, Las Vegas, London, New York, you name it!<\/p>\n

Madame Tussauds Dubai is designed and curated to give the world a chance to get up-close and personal with A-list celebrities, sporting legends, political heavyweights and historical icons including the rulers of the UAE and Dubai. Without a doubt, the incredibly lifelike figures are created by critically acclaimed sculptors, using the same techniques as Madame Tussauds herself did 200 years ago. You’re more than welcome to touch them, hug them and click as many selfies as you’d like (duh!). Aren’t museums that allow you to touch the artefacts the best?! The Dubai edition of Madame Tussauds also has a modern photo booth where you can scan the QR code, click as many pictures as you wish and get a copy when you leave.<\/p>\n

Dubai Madame Tussauds Tickets<\/h2>\n

Madame Tussauds Dubai will be open to the public from 15th October 2021. Since the attraction has already gained a mass following since the news of its opening, buying the tickets at the counter may seem impossible without standing in line for a few hours. The museum also runs in a limited capacity, so only a few people will be allowed entry at once.<\/p>\n

To leave these problems behind, get your hands on Headout’s Dubai Madame Tussauds Tickets<\/a> to assure timed entry and save a few Dirhams.<\/p>\n
