Madame Tussauds Dubai is a two-hour visit on Bluewaters Island where you pose for photos beside life-size wax figures of famous people. You may touch the figures and sit next to them. On MBD Travel it starts from 25.87 USD.

Quick facts

  • Where: Bluewaters Island, Dubai

  • Length of visit: listed as 2 hours, not demanding

  • Price: from 25.87 USD. The total shows once you pick a date and the number of guests

  • Entry: valid ID must be shown at the entrance

  • Opening hours: not in the product record, so check the ticket terms before you book (not verified)

  • Best for: families with children and groups of friends

The style of the visit: taking part, not just looking

The sets are split into film, music, sport and history themes. Each figure has a small decor built around it. Touching the figures and sitting beside them is allowed, which turns the visit from watching into joining in.

It works well as a short stop. The listed length is 2 hours, enough to fill an afternoon without wearing you out. For walking distance and ticket terms, check the product page.

Photo tips

  • Keep your phone ready. Each set can be shot in a short time

  • The figures are life-size, so hold the camera at eye level rather than shooting from above

  • Some halls are dim, so stand still when you shoot without flash

  • At busy times, go to the most popular figures first

These are editor tips. The only rules in the product record are that some halls are dim and that you need to stand still when shooting without flash.

What to know before you buy

You need to show valid ID at the entrance. If you travel with children, check the age and participation rules before you book. A general family label does not mean every condition suits everyone.

What is included depends on the ticket. Check the confirmed ticket and the total before you pay. The published starting price is not a confirmed quote for your date or group.

Bluewaters and the area around it

Bluewaters Island sits close to JBR and Dubai Marina. After the museum you can use this side of town for a walk by the sea or dinner. If you want a day on the water, the Marina has yacht and dhow tours.

If it is hot or the kids are tired

The museum is indoors, so it is an easy choice for a summer afternoon. In Dubai the average July high is 39 degrees and the low 32 (a monthly average from past years, not a forecast). From November to March it is easier to walk outside.

For other indoor and family-friendly options, see the aquarium guide and the safari park guide.

What to add to the same day

For an evening light and water show, the Dubai Fountain makes a good second stop. For children, The Green Planet offers an indoor tropical rainforest.
