James Bond is easily the world’s most famous movie title…

The Bond story has spanned decades and proves with each release that it is timeless. And right now there’s an exhibition going on in Dubai to celebrate 50 years of Bond excellence and you’ve got the chance to visit: ‘Designing 007: 50 Years of Bond style’

Whether you’re a fan of Bond (yet) or not, this is history. The exhibit looks back over the iconic moments of this incredible multi-billion-dollar franchise. Here are 5 reasons why you must visit:

1. The exhibition contains actual props from your favourite Bond movies

(We don’t want to give away all the secrets of the event, but here are a couple of things that you can look forward to…)

Would you expect anything less for a Bond event? This exhibition is located in The Annex on L1 of the Burj Khalifa next to the Armani hotel. Slick and luxurious, the venue is perfectly in keeping with the Bond theme.

4. The event is already hugely popular globally

Dubai is the ninth city for the exhibition to tour. Since it’s London debut in 2012, the exhibition has visited Paris, Rotterdam, Madrid, Moscow, Shanghai, Mexico City, Toronto and Melbourne. It’s the first time the show has come to the Middle East, and our beautiful city was the obvious choice.
