Global Village Dubai is a cultural extravaganza that you must visit, where you can travel to different parts of the world without ever leaving the city. With approximately 30 country pavilions representing arts, crafts, and traditions from numerous locations around the world – India, Egypt, Russia, and Cambodia, to name a few, you will get a snapshot of various cultures around the globe.
What to See & Do
Pavilions: Make your way through exciting themed pavilions with original architecture, souvenirs, spices, textiles, and more. Over 75 countries are represented!
- Carnival Rides: The carnival zone is blazingly bright and has rides that will make you squeal with excitement – “Fly France,” “Global Burj,” or “Wheel of the World”
- Floating Market & Heritage Village: Walk along the picture-perfect floating market and engage at the Heritage Village to experience Emirati culture and crafts.
- Shows & TV Events: Catch over 20,000 live theatrical shows – experience cultural performances, stunt shows, and firework displays every weekend.
Where To Eat
If you’re a foodie, you’ll find over 200 food units in Global Village. The different Food Zones create themed zones that incorporate food-centric fun at Happiness Street (other than Husain’s ridiculous bus ride where I could hardly breathe, there was food, most of it from this zone!), Indian Chaat Bazaar, and the Floating Market. You can find what is probably the best pan-Asian food and Japanese desserts (in the same little pavilion) along with some Emirate sweets to boot.
Visitor Tips
Open 7 days a week from October to April between 4-10 PM
Tickets are approximately AED 23 on weekdays
To maximize your visit, arrive early, wear comfortable shoes, and plan by piazza or attraction; if you want to make your experience better, ask when you enter if any special events are happening that night, so you can take advantage of those moments. Global Village is perfect for your family, friends, or yourself. If you want an evening of culture (you can do some shopping!), entertainment, and all the world cuisine you wish, without leaving the comfort of this single venue, Global Village is the place for you.
