Global Village is Dubai's seasonal cultural and entertainment park, open roughly October through May each year and closed through the hot summer months. It combines themed international pavilions, dining from 200+ restaurants and stalls, live shows, and the separately-ticketed Carnaval fairground.
Season 31 is confirmed to open October 14, 2026 and run through May 2027. As of this guide's verification, the official site had not yet released Season 31's ticket prices — it displays a 'tickets will be available later this year' notice. The prior season (Season 30, which ended in May 2026) charged AED 25 for weekday online entry and AED 30 for any-day entry; those figures are shown here only as historical reference, not a current price.
