It's now easier to travel to and around Global Village

The 25th season of Global Village is almost upon us…

RTA also plans to resume the electric Abra tourist services from the opening day, helping visitors to get around the huge site, via the canal. The CEO of Public Transport Agency, RTA, Ahmed Hashim Bahrozyan, said that the renewable energy Abras have been a very popular service over the last 10 seasons.

“The Global Village is a tourist hotspot in the Dubai tourist map as it appeals considerable numbers of residents, visitors and tourists descending on the UAE from all corners of the globe. It offers them an enjoyable time in exciting events, games and entertainments in the company of families and friends,” Bahrozyan added.
