Dubai’s hottest new landmark is a week away from opening its doors to visitors. Madame Tussauds Dubai, which takes pride of place on Bluewaters Island, will welcome guests from Oct. 14 to its seven-themed rooms packed with familiar celebrity faces from the Arab world and beyond.

A special media preview gave us a peek into the venue, which will house around 60 lifelike wax statues, from world leaders to Hollywood and Bollywood stars.

Bollywood, in fact, has a notable presence with stars such as Shah Rukh Khan, Amitabh Bachchan, Salman Khan, Katrina Kaif, Hrithik Roshan, Ranbir Kapoor and Kareena Kapoor Khan.

Perhaps one of the most striking rooms is the one that houses world leaders including former US President Donald Trump and Melania Trump to touchdown in Dubai.

Once you land, a foot to the right will be Queen Elizabeth II welcoming you to a cup of tea.
