The magical world of Harry Potter welcomes all wizards and witches in the UAE. For the first time ever, Harry Potter: The Exhibition has come to Abu Dhabi, making its regional debut this summer. The immersive experience opened on July 31, at Manarat Al Saadiyat on Saadiyat Island and will run until Sunday, September 14.
This is the first time the exhibition lands not only in the UAE but across the entire Middle East. Fans of the books, films, and Fantastic Beasts universe can expect a multi-sensory, highly interactive journey through one of the most beloved franchises in the world.
