Global Village will open its 31st season on Wednesday, 14 October, at 6pm, according to a statement published by the Dubai Media Office on 8 October. The seasonal attraction promises new shows, refreshed pavilions and several visitor-service upgrades.

Tickets and opening hours

Entry costs AED 25 on weekdays and AED 30 on weekends (Friday to Sunday) and public holidays, the statement said. Tickets can be bought online, through the Global Village website and mobile app, and at the gates from 14 October.

From Sunday to Wednesday the park is open from 4pm to midnight. On Thursdays to Saturdays and public holidays it stays open until 1am. The announcement did not give a closing date for the season.

What is on offer

The park will have 29 pavilions representing more than 90 cultures. Sri Lanka, Russia and Azerbaijan have refreshed pavilions, while the Syria and Kuwait pavilions have new façades. The organisers also cited more than 3,500 shopping outlets, over 250 dining options and more than 200 attractions.

New entertainment includes a stunt show called Fast Live 2: The Police Strikes Back and two anchor shows, Bollywood Idol and Bank Heist. A new roller coaster, Tokyo Rush, is due to launch later in the season. Visitors can also collect stamps in a new Season 31 Passport, with a Kids Passport available, from stations in each pavilion.

On the food side, the park lists a new Turkish restaurant, Trabzon, three new concepts at Restaurant Plaza (Robo Al Sham, Hawawshi Al Rabie and Chicking), and three new cafés: Vinci Dolci, Emir Bey Gourmet and Uzungol Café.

Visitor services

Practical changes include self-payment machines at VIP Parking, extra family washroom pods, more ticket counters at the Happiness Gate, bilingual Arabic and English signage at the Gate of the World, and a WhatsApp chatbot for guest support. Decorative updates include new LED lighting on the Cultural Gate and a redesigned Sharjah tunnel entrance.

What it means for residents

For families planning evening outings, the weekday price is the lower of the two rates, and weekend visits fall under the higher rate. Residents should check the Global Village website or app for any updates to ticket types before travelling, as the statement covered only general admission prices.
