Global Village Dubai is one of the most iconic outdoor destinations in Dubai. Recently, it officially wrapped up its 29th season with an impressive 10.5 million visitors. Now, the excitement is developing as the multicultural attraction is gearing up for its 30th season. So, it promises to be bigger, bolder, and full of surprises.
When Will Global Village Dubai Reopen?
As of now, there is no official date announced for the reopening of the Global Village Dubai. However, the official portal of the attraction lists the season window between October 2025 and May 2026.
Based on the previous years, the park is predicted to reopen in late October because it aligns with the cooler weather that makes outdoor weather more enjoyable. Last year, the gates opened on October 18. So, we can expect a similar timeline this year.
A Historic Milestone
The upcoming season is the two major celebrations mentioned below:
- 30 seasons of Global Village since its debut in 1997.
- 20 years at its permanent Dubailand home, where it has expanded into a 17.2 million square-foot destination.
Global Village has grown into a world-class attraction that showcases more than 90 cultures through more than 30 pavilions. However, the global attraction started as a small pop-up with only a few stands at the Dubai Greek.
What to Expect in Season 30
Last year, the park had 40,000 live shows, 200 rides, 3,500 shopping outlets, and more than 250 dining options in Season 29. Therefore, we can expect more advanced programs in the upcoming seasons. However, we have listed the top predictions for this year below:
- New viral food stalls and street eats from across the globe.
- International live performances and cultural shows.
- Exciting rides and attractions suitable for families, kids, and thrill-seekers.
- Stunt shows and fireworks displays, which have become visitor favorites.
Global Village has become one of the best winter activities in Dubai for the food, shopping, and live shows.
Opportunities for Entrepreneurs
As a business owner, you can also be a part of this village to target the global audience because the organizers have opened retail registration before the new season. So, you can apply for kiosks, shops, food stalls, and F&B outlets. Remember, it can be a prime opportunity for you to showcase your products or cuisines to millions of visitors on the Global Village.
