Catch Harry Potter in Abu Dhabi this summer.
The UAE capital is spreading some serious magic this year. From kicking off 2025 with a record-breaking Coldplay concert to the announcement of Disneyland Abu Dhabi, the capital is pulling out all the stops. And now, Abu Dhabi is all set to host Harry Potter: The Exhibition for the very first time.
Heading to Manarat Al Saadiyat at Saadiyat Island, Harry Potter: The Exhibition promises an immersive and truly magical experience for all ages. It will kick off on Friday, 25 July and run until Sunday, 14 September. Marking its debut not just in the UAE but in the entire Middle East region, this exhibition is as extensive as it gets.
Harry Potter: The Exhibition brings to life the iconic moments, characters, settings and magical creatures from the Harry Potter books, films and plays, including Fantastic Beasts and the Broadway production Harry Potter and the Cursed Child. You will get an up-close look at the props and costumes that the actual cast used. You will get the chance to step beyond the screen into an adventure that blends nostalgia and wizardly wonder.
See the first edition of Philosopher’s Stone in a vault, fight off Dementors, spot your name on the Marauder’s Map, and step into the Great Hall. Choose your house ahead of time and enjoy a personalised Hogwarts experience. Brew potions, pot mandrakes, and battle boggarts in interactive classrooms, then cast a Patronus and explore magical creatures in the Forbidden Forest and Hagrid’s Hut — all while sipping on some Butterbeer. And, don’t forget to visit the exclusive merch shop for limited-edition treats and collectables.
This is a fitting time for Harry Potter: The Exhibition to debut in Abu Dhabi. The capital has already announced plans to welcome a Harry Potter-themed park, and will also host the Harry Potter in Concert series this September.
Pre-sale tickets to Harry Potter: The Exhibition in Abu Dhabi go live Monday, 23 June, but only if you register now. Otherwise, you’ll have to wait until Tuesday, 24 June, when general ticket sales open. So if you solemnly swear you’re up to no good or still waiting for your Hogwarts letter, it’s time to dust off your robes and wand and make your way to Saadiyat Island to witness magic.
