‘Naruto’ Exhibition Coming to Dubai

Calling all anime lovers: For the first time ever, fans of the legendary manga and anime Naruto can dive headfirst into the world of the Hidden Leaf Village as “Naruto the Gallery” makes its debut in the UAE. This blockbuster exhibition, straight from Tokyo, opens on Jan. 31 and runs until April 6, 2025 at The Concourse Convention Centre near Dubai Outlet Mall.

It’s the official first time “Naruto the Gallery” steps outside East Asia, marking a milestone in celebrating the 20-year legacy of a series that’s shaped pop culture far beyond Japan.

“We’re truly honored to bring ‘Naruto the Gallery’ to Dubai as its next destination,” said the exhibition gallery committee from Japan. “Through this experience, we want to give fans a chance to fully immerse themselves in Naruto’s rich history and legacy.”

Expect life-sized, mind-blowing installations, exclusive never-before-seen artwork, and immersive displays that’ll pull you right into the ninja action. Whether it’s the sprawling landscapes of Konoha, high-stakes battles, or the intimate character moments that made Naruto legendary, the exhibition promises to mesmerize die-hard fans and anime newbies alike.

Guests can also enjoy concept art, authentic artifacts, and behind-the-scenes materials that chronicle the making of Naruto. Fans will get to explore the artistry and animation techniques behind iconic moments while stepping into interactive displays that bring some of those scenes to life. And of course, limited-edition merch will be up for grabs—because no Naruto adventure is complete without a collectible or two.

Starting as a Shonen Jump manga in 1999, Naruto became a cultural juggernaut, with its 72-volume saga selling over 100 million copies outside Japan. Its anime adaptation first aired in 2002, followed by Naruto Shippuden (2007-2017), and a series of 11 epic animated films. Themes of friendship, perseverance, and self-discovery struck a chord worldwide, turning Naruto Uzumaki’s journey to become the Hokage into one of anime’s most celebrated tales.

Tickets start at just AED 60, but snag them early because this exhibition is bound to sell out fast.
