Affordable Entry for All
One may pay up to Dh30 as entry fees to Global Village, depending on the day of the week. This implies that a family of four can walk in at approximately Dh120 in total. Free entries can be made by children below the age of three and seniors above the age of 65.
The park is open to daily activities, which include opening at 4 PM and closing at midnight on weekdays and at 1 AM on weekends. Tuesdays are dedicated to ladies and families only, which is why it is a great idea to spend some free time in the middle of the week.
Entertainment Included in Your Ticket
There are no extra charges for entertainment once one is indoors. Global Village celebrates parades, cultural shows, acrobats, and live music every single day, and it is all a part of your ticket to the village. The event offers more than 40 international artists on various stages, and people are bound to experience street magic, traditional music, and dance performances that represent cultures of diverse nations in the world.
A Global Feast of Flavours
Food lovers can spend without wasting a lot of money. The average cost of a family meal is Dh70 to Dh150, depending on the choice you make. Whether it is shawarma, kebabs, and biryani, noodles, or burgers and steaks, Global Village has 200-plus restaurants that meet all the cravings. To eat delicacies of different cuisines, many families share the plates, and it makes a real global food festival under the stars.
Rides, Games, and Thrills
The Carnaval area is the top attraction for kids and adrenaline junkies. The prices of rides are between Dh20 and Dh50 per individual and combo card, and families can be taken.
Allocate about Dh50 to Dh100 to a handful of rounds of funfair games, Ferris wheel, or mini roller coasters to keep younger family members of the family entertained.
Sweet Treats and Desserts
No visit to Global Village will be made without dessert. The new natural fruit ice cream by Barakat has been a seasonal success and sells at approximately Dh40 per family. Tens of dessert vendors with kunafa, waffles, and fresh fruit bowls based on the world regions are also available to the visitors.
Shopping from Around the World
Each pavilion is differentiated with something to sell, such as Turkish lamps, Indian spices, African crafts, and Middle Eastern perfumes. Souvenirs are affordable, as low as Dh5 to Dh30, and you can leave behind a gift from your journey all over the world without spending too much.
Instagram-Worthy Landmarks
There are copies of Big Ben, the Eiffel Tower, the Colosseum, and the Sydney Opera House to welcome visitors at the entrance and pose with them in their family photos, all of which are totally free. The majority of the families invest their initial 30 minutes in taking photos and then sink into the celebration.
