Global Village, the region’s premier multicultural family destination for shopping, dining, entertainment and diverse attractions, is all set to welcome guests to “A More Wonderful World” as it ushers in its much anticipated 30th season on Wednesday.
The destination’s new season guarantees another remarkable cultural experience for guests from the UAE and across the world and is set to celebrate 30 seasons of laughter, exploration, togetherness, and excitement.
Fernando Eiroa, Chief Executive Officer, Dubai Holding Entertainment, said, “Global Village has evolved from a local concept into a true international phenomenon, cementing its place as the UAE’s most successful homegrown entertainment destination. Last season alone, we welcomed more than 10.5 million guests, reinforcing Dubai’s position as a global hub for entertainment and tourism. As we mark the milestone of Season 30, we are excited to open our doors once again with an unparallelled mix of attractions, shopping, dining and world-class entertainment experiences for visitors from every corner of the globe.”
Running until May 10, 2026, Season 30 is set to be the most remarkable to date with 30 pavilions representing over 90 cultures from around the world, featuring more than 3,500 shopping outlets, over 250 dining options, more than 40,500 shows and more than 200 rides, games and attractions, all carefully curated to enhance guest experiences.
Over 250 dining options await guests this season, including the Restaurant Plaza, which houses 11 double-storey restaurants offering a variety of global cuisines. Located next to the Carnaval fun-fair area, the plaza overlooks the Falcon Stage, a lively centre stage for live performances.
Fiesta Street is making a grand return this season with an impressive upgrade, offering more space to explore its vibrant kiosks.
The Railway Market, now rebranded as Dessert District, is back with an elevated dining experience and countless photo-worthy moments. Road of Asia is returning with a bold new name, Asia Boulevard, bringing more excitement to the dining and shopping experiences in the park.
