Welcome to Global Village, the world’s premier multicultural festival park and the Middle East’s top family-friendly destination for culture, entertainment, and shopping.
This vibrant attraction offers an immersive experience where tradition meets innovation — from dazzling performances and global cuisine to unique shopping experiences in lively street-style bazaars.
Since its modest beginnings in 1997 with just a few retail stalls, Global Village has evolved into a spectacular seasonal extravaganza, now an essential part of Dubai’s winter calendar. Every year, millions of visitors gather to explore the magic it offers.
Step into a world where over 90 cultures are represented across 27 country-themed pavilions, each showcasing authentic crafts, products, and traditions. Wander through this cultural mosaic and discover treasures such as handcrafted carpets from Iran and Afghanistan, pure Moroccan argan oil, artisanal jewelry from Spain, natural honey from Yemen, and flavorful dry fruits from Thailand.
Let your senses transport you to Vietnam, Oman, Egypt, or Italy — thanks to the captivating décor, aromas, music, and tastes that fill every corner of the park. It's a celebration of global diversity, brought to life through nightly shows, artistic performances, and interactive cultural displays.
For thrill-seekers and families alike, Global Village boasts over 175 rides, games, and attractions, including an exciting Carnival Funfair packed with adrenaline-pumping rides. Meanwhile, food lovers can indulge in a global culinary tour with options from over 20 countries, served at numerous restaurants, cafés, and street food kiosks.
The heart of the entertainment lies at the World Culture Stage, where you can enjoy electrifying live shows, music concerts, comedy acts, and much more — all part of a constantly evolving schedule of world-class entertainment.
Admission is affordably priced at just AED 15, making it accessible to all. Open annually from October to April, Global Village offers countless hours of fun, exploration, and cultural enrichment for visitors of all ages.
In December 2019, the destination added yet another feather to its cap — Ripley’s Believe It or Not!, the region’s first Odditorium, featuring six interactive galleries filled with bizarre exhibits, unbelievable artifacts, and mind-bending displays.
