More Than New Attractions
One of the beauties of Global Village is that visitors often return multiple times throughout the season. Its draw comes not only from the new attractions but also from the rich tapestry of country pavilions, each offering unique cultural experiences and treats. Stroll through and collect shopping bags full of items including clothing, accessories, and perfumes, or indulge in an incredible range of decidedly delicious cuisines. Many pavilions host cultural performances, allowing you to enjoy dinner along with a captivating show.
In addition to the pavilions, don’t miss out on Fiesta Street, Railway Market, Floating Market, and the Road to Asia, where countries like the Philippines, Indonesia, Malaysia, and Nepal showcase their vibrant cultures.
For those craving adventure beyond shopping and dining, the Carnaval section features over 195 rides, games, and attractions that cater to all ages. Whether competing in a carnival game or enjoying rides, everyone can find something to enjoy, including the chance to win oversized stuffed animals—who could resist a giant banana plushie?
On the attraction front, Global Village UAE is excited to introduce Exo City Planet, designed for guests aged 10 and above. Adding to the thrills, the much-anticipated House of Fear is now back, promising heart-pounding scares with live actors. Entertainment doesn’t stop there; there’s also the Cyber City Danger Zone Stunt Show, a high-octane spectacle featuring flying bikes, LED-covered police cars, and a tank, alongside roaming entertainers to keep the atmosphere lively.
And for fireworks enthusiasts, make sure to check out Dragon Lake, which returns with a massive new dragon—double the size of last year’s—where a dazzling laser show captivates every Friday and Saturday at 9 PM.
