Ripley’s Believe It or Not! Opens its doors in Dubai’s Global Village

With several locations around the world and an estimated 12 million guests, the famed Ripley believe it or not! “Oditorium” opens its doors in Global Village Dubai with the world’s most odd artifacts and exhibits.

Ripley Entertainment who owns Guinness World Records Attractions will debut its first cluster of attractions in the MENA region at Global Village, perfectly in line with the vision of the park which is enabling the best international brands to launch and flourish in the UAE.

Victor Danau, director, Asia Pacific operations and development of Ripley Entertainment said that the launch of Ripley’s in Global Village is an “incredible achievement”.

The Ripley’s museum-attraction consists of six galleries housing a unique collection of oddities for both adults and children. Among the items on display will be the world’s only road-worthy wooden Ferrari – which is also amphibious – as well as the smallest assembly line manufactured road car, a Megalodon shark jaw, and a large iron Gibeon meteorite.

Dubai is a melting pot of world-class entertainment and we are proud to expand Ripley’s brand to the UAE,”

“For decades, Ripley’s has brought to fans the most extraordinary, unique, bizarre and one-of-a-kind exhibits and experiences the world has to offer. We are thrilled to be bringing over a ‘century of strange’ to UAE and Middle Eastern fans. By partnering with Global Village to bring our unique brand of family fun to the Middle East, we believe this partnership will set a new standard for entertainment in the UAE, the region.”
