Exciting news for all you Global Village fans…

Due to the summer season, we had to say a sad goodbye to Global Village UAE at the start of May 2024. But we now have great news: Global Village UAE is reopening its doors next month on Wednesday, October 16, 2024.

Global Village UAE will remain open for seven months and will close for the season on Sunday, May 11, 2025.  

Over the seven months, there is ample time to tick off the things on your ‘Globby V bucket list’.

Each season, the attraction receives millions of visitors – both visitors and residents alike, who fall in love with the park’s vibrant atmosphere, shows, food stalls, and unique shopping opportunities. In the season that has just gone by, a new record was set with the park welcoming a whopping 10 million visitors.

Does Global Village UAE change every year?

The short answer… Yes!

Global Village reveals new attractions every season so there is always something new and fresh to see. At the moment though, we do know that Global Village will be expanding its offerings and we can expect more cultural representations, never-before-seen entertainment, and exciting infrastructure upgrades.

Once again, we are keeping our eyes peeled for any announcements, so stay tuned!

But it isn’t just new attractions that keep the visitors returning. Many visitors head to the attraction more than once during the season’s run. And for good reason.

Global Village is home to plenty of country pavilions from around the globe, each offering up cultural treats from their country. You can either walk home with shopping bags packed with items from clothing, accessories, perfumes, souvenirs and so much more, or you can enjoy the delicious cuisine. Many pavilions even put on cultural performances so you can enjoy a show while you dine.

For even more food options, there’s Happiness Street, Railway Market, the Floating Market and the Road to Asia where several fantastic countries including Sri Lanka, the Philippines, Indonesia, Malaysia, Nepal, and more represent themselves.

For more on the attraction front, there are other attractions including House of Fear – said to be the region’s scariest haunted house experience with live actors, a Ripley’s Believe It or Not!, a carnival with a Ferris wheel and other thrilling rides and games, and more.

Last year, a fun mini-golf attraction was added to the attraction’s list plus Mini World which showcases the world’s most iconic attractions (in a miniature version of course).

Besides entertainment at the pavilions, there are shows on the main stage, Cyber City Stunt Show (a performance with flying bikes, LED-covered police cars and a tank), plus roaming entertainment.

We can’t wait to see what Global Village UAE has in store for us for the new season! Stay tuned.
