On October 16, 2024, Global Village will once again open its doors to guests, starting its 29th season that will last until May. This is not just an amusement park, but a unique place where the cultures of 78 countries meet, embodied in 26 pavilions. Here you can immerse yourself in the traditions of different nations, enjoy gastronomic delights, find unique souvenirs and experience vivid emotions from a variety of shows and attractions.
Immersion in the culture of different countries
Global Village is a trip around the world that doesn’t require visas or suitcases. The pavilions of each country impress with their design, carefully thought out to the smallest detail. Here, the architecture, music, aromas and even the atmosphere of corners of the world are recreated. For example, you can admire Afghan hand-woven carpets, taste Yemeni honey or find Moroccan argan oil.
But it’s not just about buying things. The pavilions allow you to get to know the culture more deeply. You will be able to try on national costumes, taste local cuisine, talk to artisans about traditional crafts and take home a piece of the unique atmosphere.
A miniature world in one place
The Global Village has a number of fascinating characteristics, the most captivating perhaps being the replicated phenomenal structures from around the world. A replica of the Taj Mahal, the Eiffel Tower, the Colosseum, the Statue of Liberty and other symbols of the world are located here. It’s an opportunity to savor different parts of the world and hope that one gets to explore someday.
Nothing is overlooked in the design and thus every viewer is transported into the centre of that country. Such architectural works are not only for viewing pleasure, they are photo spots too.
Entertainment for the whole family
The Global Village is indeed a favourite spot for various programs including where everyone will find something for themselves. Performers move about the main stage from various parts of the globe: Chinese acrobats, Japanese drummers, Bollywood musicians and so on, and so on. Street performances bring to life the environment while the children’s shows bring joy to the little guests.
The amusement park has plenty to offer both for kids and adults as well. There are merry-go-rounds, roller coasters, and more extreme games. A stunt show is worth singling out, one which will make you gasp and hold your breath.
Unusual discoveries
For those looking for something amazing, Global Village has an interactive museum Ripley’s Believe It or Not. This is an exhibition of strange, rare and even shocking exhibits collected by the traveler Robert Ripley. Every corner of the museum surprises: from strange photographs to wax figures. A mirror maze with changing lighting creates the impression of magic, adding magic to your visit.
Space for children’s happiness
For young guests, a special zone Neon Galaxy is provided. Here children will find 10 different zones for active games and entertainment. Climbing towers, slides, ninja courses – this place becomes a real paradise for children from seven years old. Every moment here is filled with fun and genuine joy.
Tasty journey
Global Village is a real paradise for gourmets. More than 200 restaurants and cafes offer dishes from all over the world. Turkish kokorec, Mexican quesadilla, Iraqi kebab, Thai tom yum soup or churros from Spain – the choice is amazing. Don’t forget about the Emirati cuisine, presented in all its diversity.
A special place is occupied by the Floating Market, created in the image of Asian water bazaars. Here you can not only enjoy the atmosphere, but also try dishes prepared right before your eyes. Thai fried rice, spicy mussels with garlic or noodles with spicy sauce – all this adds brightness to the gastronomic journey.
A unique experience of abra boat ride
The artificial canal that crosses the park territory offers a special pleasure – a ride on a traditional Arab abra boat. It is not only a way to relax, but also a chance to look at the pavilions from a new angle, appreciating their architectural beauty.
A place that remains in the heart
Global Village is a place where dreams come true. Here, tradition, creativity and modernity come together. Every corner gives new impressions, be it bright shows, delicious dishes or unusual souvenirs.
Don’t miss the chance to become a part of this amazing world. This is a great opportunity to go on a trip around the world without leaving one place.
