New experiences enhance the destination's profile
The new season will witness a group of distinctive improvements that will enrich the destination’s facilities, in addition to the return of many beloved experiences that have become part of the guests’ experience over the years. Global Village is expected to announce the new additions and experiences in the coming weeks before opening. Whether families are looking to create new memories, or residents and tourists are visiting the destination for the first time, the 31st season will provide an integrated experience that meets the aspirations of all ages.

The importance of the new season for Arab tourists

The 31st season of Global Village represents an important opportunity for Arab tourists, especially Gulf families, as the destination provides an integrated experience that combines cultures, shopping and entertainment in one place, during the winter months that witness ideal weather in Dubai. The new season constitutes an essential stop in Dubai's tourism agenda, which supports the emirate's goals of attracting more Arab and foreign visitors during the peak tourist season.
