Simply Abu Dhabi III

Madame Tussauds London’s visitors are sent on a unique, emotionally-charged journey through the realms of the powerful and famous. The museum-style ropes and poles have gone, allowing guests to truly get up, close and personal with A-list celebrities, sporting legends, political heavyweights and historical icons, reliving the times, events and moments that made the world talk about them…. Around 500 million people have visited Madame Tussauds London since it was first established – that’s more than the population of North America and Australia combined! With 14 zones and the new Marvel Super Heroes 4D movie experience, Madame Tussauds London combines glitz and glamour with incredible history and over 300 wax figures. So, who do you want to meet? You can have your picture taken alongside A - list celebrities like Drew Barrymore, Orlando Bloom, Nicole Kidman and Leonardo DiCaprio. For something a little scarier try visiting the Chamber gallery where serial killers lurk. The music zone represents legends of pop from Bob Marley through to current chart toppers Kylie and Justin Timberlake. ‘Sexyback’ pop singer Justin Timberlake gets more hugs than any other figure, and the dry cleaning bill for his super sharp white Savile Row suit proves it! That said, the yearly cost of maintaining the entire Madame Tussauds wardrobe would cover Justin’s bill for the next 30 years! While the most kissed female figure is pop princess Kylie Minogue, now in her fourth incarnation. Visitors are also encouraged to try out their own dance moves to see if they can win an award. The figure of Bollywood star Shah Rukh Khan was the first ever to receive a proposal of marriage. A passionate female fan travelled down from Bradford shortly after ‘King Khan’s’ launch in April 2007 just to present his double with a diamond engagement ring. She’s still waiting for an answer…. It is a great day out and ideal for the whole family! Opening Times: Vary from 09.00 - 18.00.
