Time to say goodbye…
Global Village Dubai is a top go-to spot during the cooler months, and it’s easy to see why. This family-friendly destination has it all—from shopping and dining to exciting attractions, live performances, and so much more!
But like all great things, it must come to an end—temporarily, of course! Global Village Dubai will be closing its doors on May 11, 2025, with the announcement of the last day of Season 29 shared on their social media.
If you’ve been putting off your visit, consider this your last call! Don’t miss out before it closes for the season!
What’s inside?
For those eager to check out the latest upgrades, don’t miss the brand-new Restaurant Plaza, which boasts 11 two-story restaurants serving up global flavors. Plus, there are four cultural pavilions to explore—Jordan, Iraq, Sri Lanka, and Bangladesh—each with a unique themed facade and a vibrant mix of food stalls and shops inside.
The Railway Market and Floating Market have been given a fresh new look with exciting concepts, while Fiesta Street has been revamped to add even more wow factor for the new season.
Need to take a break? Global Village UAE also offers green promenades with picnic-style benches, perfect for relaxing and enjoying the surroundings.
But it isn’t just new attractions that keep the visitors returning…
It’s no surprise that many visitors return to Global Village multiple times throughout the season. With so much to offer, it’s easy to see why. The park is home to a variety of country pavilions, each showcasing unique cultural treasures. You can shop for everything from clothing and accessories to perfumes and souvenirs, or indulge in mouthwatering global cuisine. Plus, many pavilions feature cultural performances, so you can enjoy a captivating show while you dine.
In addition to the pavilions, don’t forget to check out Fiesta Street, the Railway Market, the Floating Market, and the Road to Asia. These areas feature incredible representations from countries like the Philippines, Indonesia, Malaysia, Nepal, and more, each bringing their own unique cultural flair to the experience.
If you’re looking for more excitement beyond shopping and dining, head over to Carnaval! With over 195 rides, games, and attractions, there’s something for everyone—whether you’re a thrill-seeker or with little ones in tow. Feeling lucky? Try your hand at the carnival games and you might just walk away with a giant stuffed animal, including the iconic giant banana plushie!
For even more thrills, Global Village UAE is set to introduce Exo City Planet—an exciting new experience for guests aged 10 and up. Also making its return is the spine-chilling House of Fear, touted as the region’s scariest haunted house experience with live actors. And that’s not all! Beyond the pavilions, you can catch performances on the main stage, the action-packed Cyber City Danger Zone Stunt Show (featuring flying bikes, LED-covered police cars, and a tank), and plenty of roaming entertainment to keep the excitement going throughout the park.
And of course, Dragon Lake is back, bigger and better than ever! This year, the dragon is twice the size of last year’s, and it’s the centerpiece of an epic laser show.
Plus, as per their official website, every Friday and Saturday at 9pm, the skies light up with a spectacular fireworks display, adding even more magic to your visit.
