Dubai: If you're ready for some exciting outdoor fun in Dubai this winter, the Global Village is set to reopen its doors in two days — on November 1, 2017.
It will be the 22nd season for the festive destination, marked by fun treats for children and retail extravanganzas for adults, and loads of family-oriented entertainment.
In the runup to the November 1, and as workers are putting the finishing touches to the Global Village, upcoming events had been posted on its Facebook page.
For example, the concerts series for the Season 22 will kick off with Shamma Hamdan, who is performing live on Friday, November 3, at 9pm.
This season, easier access through public transport is being arranged so more people can hop on and off the Dubai metro and the public buses to enjoy the cultural shows, back-to-back concerts, performances of top entertainers from the around the world at the Global Village.
50+ rides and skill games
For the young ones, the village hosted more than 50 rides and skill games at the fun fair area “Fantasy Island” during its 21st season.
It's no surprise that the Global Village has become one of Dubai's top winter destinations and the region’s first and most successful multicultural festival park,
Last year, during its 21st season, Global Village clocked in 5.6 million guests, and achieved 9/10 in "Happiness Index" during its 159 days of operation.
The desination has become one of the city's top tourist attractions as it offers a generous mix of cultural treats, unmatched shopping, dining and funfair experiences — bringing together a collection of treats from the world over.
Entertainment, too, has been at the forefront of the Global Village experience with some of the biggest Asian and Arab stars performing at its main stage.
Each year, organisers take the Global Village experience up a notch to enhance the guest experience.
Global Village has also become the one-stop destination for the world’s most delectable cuisines, from the East to the West, North to South — and, of course, the Middle East.
The destination also offers big winning opportunities.
Raffle draws
Last year, it gave away more than Dh2 million over the duration of 159 days, through a myriad of visitor engagements such as the ‘Catch the Cash’ (winners were given a chance to win up to Dh250,000), weekly raffle draws — allowing visitors to win pots of Dh100,000 by simply purchasing a Dh15 entrance ticket into Global Village).
2 new bus routes to Global Village:

Global Village general admission tickets are priced at Dh15 per person. During the season, the tickets are available online and at the gates from 3.30pm every day until half an hour prior to park closure.
