Each year, between October and April, a vast number of visitors flock to the immensely popular Global Village. This open-air attraction, which had its beginnings in 1997 as a collection of retail kiosks, has evolved significantly over the years and is now a staple on Dubai's winter events calendar.

Global Village offers a wide range of experiences, whether you're seeking a fun fair, delectable food, nightly cultural performances, or authentic shopping. The village comprises over 90 different cultures, each showcasing their local products within 27 lavish pavilions, alongside an impressive array of over 175 rides, games, and attractions.

Visitors can sample delightful honey from Yemen, shop for exquisite carpets from Iran and Afghanistan, acquire argan oil from Morocco, admire engraved necklaces from Spain, and savor dry fruits from Thailand. Each pavilion, whether it's representing Egypt, Italy, Vietnam, Oman, or other nations, immerses guests in that country's unique ambiance through aromas, flavors, sounds, and vibrant decorations.

For those seeking a global adventure, nightly concerts and shows at the World Culture Stage feature artists who create a captivating blend of wonder, music, and comedy from around the world. Thrill-seekers can maintain their excitement on the daring carnival rides, while food enthusiasts can indulge in international cuisine at the numerous restaurants, cafes, and street food kiosks onsite.

Since December 2019, Global Village has also become home to Ripley's Believe It or Not! 'Odditorium,' a first-of-its-kind museum attraction in the region. It boasts six galleries filled with intriguing artifacts, visual curiosities, and interactive exhibits
