Dubai Wax Museum - Madame Tussauds

The recreational activities in the Emirate of Dubai vary between historical ones such as Dubai museums that speak about the state's history in multiple eras, and others that are modern, giving a clear idea about advanced technology and scientific foundations upon which Dubai was built, such as the Burj Khalifa, commercial centers, the Museum of the Future, and many other places and landmarks. Today, we will talk about a new destination, which is the Dubai Wax Museum, or Madame Tussauds, the first of its kind in the Middle East.

Dubai Wax Museum

The Dubai Wax Museum, or Madame Tussauds Museum, located on Bluewaters Island, will be opened in 2021, with stunning waterfront views and next to the Dubai Eye, the largest Ferris wheel in the world. It will feature wax statues of more than 60 international personalities from various fields, and 16 of these wax statues will be of the most famous Middle Eastern stars, as these personalities will appear to be extremely lifelike.

History of Madame Tussauds Museum

The opening of the wax museum in the United Arab Emirates is the first of its kind in the Middle East and the Gulf Cooperation Council countries in particular. The museum first opened its doors in 1835 in London, and it gained great popularity for over two centuries. Each statue is sculpted using the expertise of the most important sculptors who use the best techniques. Sculpting a wax statue resembling a human can take about 12 weeks, during which the team takes 500 precise measurements of the body, installs real hair strands one by one, and applies countless layers of paints to build skin tone similarities, and more, all contributing to achieving the highest degree of reproduction of the shapes of stars and famous personalities in Madame Tussauds Museum. Time, precision craftsmanship, and industry are factors influencing the cost of these wax statues at Madame Tussauds, which can reach up to 700,000 dirhams.

Personalities of Dubai Wax Museum

Madame Tussauds Museum is distributed in many countries around the world, with 21 branches opened worldwide, and the 22nd branch will soon be opened in the United Arab Emirates to introduce visitors to political, artistic, scientific, sports, social, and many other personalities.

The names of the wax personalities in Madame Tussauds Museum in Dubai have not yet been announced, but it is sure to be wonderful and amazing as visitors will be able to take ordinary photos and selfies with the most famous personalities that look realistic and authentic.

The Madame Tussauds Museum branch in London includes a collection of royal family members, so it is likely to see a group of the rulers of the United Arab Emirates who have gained the love and loyalty of the Emirati people.
