Global Village is a yearly attraction that takes place in Dubai. It serves as a great destination for individuals looking at spending time with their loved ones. The multicultural destination offers a glimpse into various cultures from across the globe. It is a one-stop shop to experience culinary treats from different countries, and witness other immersive entertainment experiences.
The theme park, which is extremely popular amongst international guests, has played host to nearly 90 million tourists since it first opened. Global Village Dubai is among the top 4 entertainment destinations globally in terms of average daily footfall as it consists of kiosks, food stalls, retailers and many entertainment events. Each year, the organisers set up something new and exciting to welcome people from all walks of life.
