Dubai’s iconic multicultural park
Global Village, has confirmed its reopening for its 30th season, with festivities running from October 15, 2025, until May 10, 2026. The beloved attraction, which shuts down during the hot summer months, is preparing an unforgettable experience to celebrate its three-decade journey.
Last year, the destination achieved a milestone by welcoming 10.5 million visitors, making it one of the UAE’s most popular family attractions. Organisers say the coming season will be bigger and more dazzling than ever, marking its 30th anniversary with fresh surprises alongside its signature blend of world pavilions, international cuisine, cultural showcases, thrilling rides, shopping, and live entertainment.
While ticket prices for the new season will only be revealed in October, entry previously ranged between Dh25–Dh30, with free admission for children under 3, seniors above 65, and people of determination.
The last edition featured 30 cultural pavilions, 200-plus food outlets, nearly 200 rides and attractions, and more than 40,000 performances — from street shows to musical acts. Visitors can also expect the return of fireworks nights and the park’s unique seven New Year countdown celebrations, a highlight for families and tourists alike.
Since its humble beginnings on the banks of Dubai Creek in 1996, Global Village has grown into one of the emirate’s most celebrated attractions. With its milestone year ahead, organisers promise that the anniversary season will bring new concepts, immersive experiences, and expanded offerings to mark the occasion.
Further details about what’s in store for Season 30 are set to be unveiled in the coming weeks.
