🌍 Global Village – Dubai’s Cultural & Entertainment Destination

You can easily spend a full evening (or more) exploring the different corners of Global Village. Highlights include:

• Visiting country pavilions representing 90+ nations – each with its own food, products, crafts and cultural designs.
• Enjoying cultural and musical performances on the main stages 🎶 – from traditional dances to modern shows and circus-style acts.
• Trying thrilling rides and family attractions in the Carnaval area 🎢, including roller coasters, funfair rides and skill games.
• Watching the weekly fireworks 🎆 and special fountain or stunt shows, which are especially impressive for kids.

Tip: arrive early in the evening to explore the pavilions in daylight, then stay for the shows, Carnaval lights and fireworks after dark.

Entry tickets to Global Village are very affordable compared to many other Dubai attractions:

• 🎟️ General entry: from around 20 AED per person.
• 👶 Children under 3 years: usually free.

Rides and games inside the Carnaval area are charged separately, so it’s a good idea to set a budget if you’re visiting with kids who love attractions.
