Will we see these Arab stars as wax figures at Dubai's Madame Tussauds?

The world's most renowned waxwork museum Madame Tussauds is expected to open in Dubai later this year. 

It's going to be the first branch of the chain to open in the Arab world - unless Saudi Arabia's plans fall through first. The project was first announced in 2008 and came at a time when the emirate was seeing an influx of tourists. 

Madame Tussauds' Dubai building is located in the emirate's Bluewaters Island and will feature a host of lifelike wax models. We're hopeful it will house waxworks of regional stars along with international ones.

The exact dates of the museum's opening remain unconfirmed, so do the celebs that will be featured in it. 

So for now, we took the liberty to imagine which Arab celebrities might get wax figures and here are a few we're really hoping to see there: 

Who wouldn't want to take a picture with her? 

Because no statue has given him justice yet, let's hope Mohamed Salah gets a good one at Madame Tussauds Dubai. 

That would be one perfect royal statue. 

His millions of fans will rejoice at that and will certainly flock to Dubai's Madame Tussauds. 

Taking a photo with his statue sounds like so much fun. 

Internationally acclaimed Lebanese filmmaker Nadine Labaki deserves a spot at the museum. 

Aka Jabal Sheikh Al Jabal and King Farouk. 

She tops the list. 

An icon for the ages. 

Because she has millions of Arab and international fans. 

The siren of Arab screens. 

Everyone wants a still with the Lawrence of Arabia.
