If Global Village hasn’t made it onto your plans yet this season, now’s the time to fix that
Dubai’s much-loved outdoor attraction has confirmed that Season 30 will officially wrap up on May 10, 2026, giving visitors just a few more months to soak up everything before it closes for the summer. The destination will then return later in the year for Season 31 (dates still to be announced).
And trust us, there’s plenty worth seeing before the gates close.
What was new at Global Village this season?
Season 30 has delivered some of the biggest updates yet, with fresh attractions and immersive experiences drawing in crowds since reopening night on October 15, 2025.
Two of the standout additions have quickly become fan favourites:
-
Garden of Glow, lighting up the park with colourful, Instagram-worthy flowers.
-
Dragon Kingdom, a fantasy-themed zone that’s a family favourite.
These new experiences have added even more reason to keep coming back – even if you’re a Global Village regular.
The biggest drone show of the season is coming
Looking for weekend plans? You might want to keep your evenings free.
Global Village is hosting its largest drone show of the season on Friday, January 9 with 3,000 drones – that’s well worth staying late for.
Food, culture and live entertainment in one place
As always, Global Village brings together more than 90 cultures under one buzzing destination. Expect:
-
Street food and dishes from around the world
-
Pavilion shopping packed with handmade goods and souvenirs
-
Live performances that range from cultural shows to high-energy stage acts
It’s the kind of place where your camera roll fills up fast – and your to-do list somehow gets longer.
