Post by : Badri Ariffin

After a brief hiatus due to global tensions, Global Village, a beloved attraction in Dubai, has reopened its doors today at 5pm. This marks the beginning of its 30th season, offering a welcome return for both residents and tourists.

Originally intended to run from October 15, 2025, to May 10, 2026, operations were paused in line with official advisories amidst rising regional tensions.

With this reopening, visitors can immerse themselves once more in a vibrant blend of culture, shopping, dining, and entertainment at this iconic location.

  • More than 3,500 shopping outlets

  • Over 250 dining choices

  • Around 450 artists delivering over 40,000 performances

  • Over 200 rides and games at Carnaval

The experience remains vibrant and varied, featuring international pavilions that highlight crafts, cuisines, and traditions from around the world, complemented by family-friendly shows and activities.

Ticket Information

Ticket pricing is consistent with the previous season:

  • Dh25 for weekday online tickets

  • Dh30 for entry on any day

Children under three years old, senior citizens, and People of Determination can enter for free. Tuesdays are designated for families and ladies, except during public holidays.

Opening Hours

The attraction will adhere to its usual hours:

  • Weekdays: 5pm to midnight

  • Weekends and public holidays: 5pm to 1am

Visitors are encouraged to stay updated on official channels for any last-minute changes.

VIP Experiences

The 30th season also introduces VIP packages, ranging from Silver to Diamond tiers, which offer exclusive benefits like reserved parking and priority ride access. Some packages even include annual passes to Dubai Parks and Resorts.

With this reopening, Global Village is poised to attract a large audience eager for a rich entertainment and cultural experience in Dubai.
