His Highness Sheikh Mohammed bin Rashid Al Maktoum, Vice President and Prime Minister of the UAE and Ruler of Dubai, visited Global Village Dubai on Tuesday, November 10, touring its international pavilions and cultural attractions showcasing more than 90 cultures from around the world.

Accompanied by senior officials, Sheikh Mohammed toured various pavilions and attractions and watched programmes and performances highlighting the heritage and traditions of different countries. He also spoke with members of his delegation and several visitors.

During the visit, Sheikh Mohammed was briefed on new facilities and activities introduced for the current season, including new entertainment shows, upgraded attractions and an expanded range of dining and shopping options.

Organisers said Global Village continues to enhance the experience for residents and tourists each year by introducing new programmes and facilities, bringing culture, entertainment and family activities together in one destination.

Global Village has become one of the region’s best-known family destinations over the years, attracting millions of visitors each season.

Its pavilions offer traditional handicrafts, authentic international cuisine, live performances and cultural activities, allowing visitors to experience cultures and traditions from around the world in one location.

Street food, traditional dances, fireworks and stage shows are also among the attractions offered throughout the season.

This season features new dining options, the return of several attractions and rides, and pavilions celebrating cultures from around the world.

Global Village welcomes visitors every evening and remains open later on weekends and public holidays.
