Dubai's Global Village opens every year from October to April and is a celebration of culture from around the world. With thrilling rides, incredible shows, and a vast range of food from every corner of the globe, there’s something to delight every visitor, young or old! Since the attractions aren’t open all year round tickets are limited and it’s recommended to book in advance.

See All the PavilionsThere are 28 different pavilions in the Global Village, each hosting a range of shops and stalls where you can see and buy items from the region. The largest area represented is the Middle East and North Africa, which has 13 pavilions, then South Asia and Europe, which each have 4. Africa and the Far East have 3 pavilions apiece, while the 48 countries of the Americas are represented in a single pavilion. Each pavilion is a work of art, often in the shape of one of that nation’s major attractions.

The Global Village: The World in One Attraction
There’s a lot to see and do inside the Global Village, which is home to shops, restaurants, and concert venues.The World’s Biggest Entertainment Project
It’s open for about 5 to 6 months of the year and since its first opening in 1996, it has grown to welcome over 5 million visitors each season. It’s also a popular concert venue, having hosted artists such as Elissa, Jason Derulo, and Liam Payne. Entry to the pavilions and the main concert areas only costs AED 15 per person, but there are other attractions and rides inside which can be enjoyed by purchasing a Wonder Pass.
Shop Till You Drop
With over 28 pavilions selling goods from 90 countries from five of the world’s continents, there’s plenty of opportunities to find a unique souvenir. Spend your time browsing the different stalls and try your hand at haggling with the vendors to get a great deal.
Enjoy the Carnaval
Thrill-seekers will find plenty to keep them occupied in the Carnaval area, which features 31 rides, 25 games of skill, and over 100 arcade games to try. There are also child-sized rides for younger visitors and family rides that everyone can enjoy together. You’ll need a Wonder Pass with points on it to access the rides.
Delicious Treats from Across the Globe
In addition to the food court, the Global Village hosts kiosks, roaming food trolleys, restaurants and cafés, so you’re sure not to go hungry during your visit. Arrive hungry so that you can sample delicious meals from several of the countries exhibiting at the village.
