Big Global Village news: Free entry for kids under 12 until the season ends
Save your dirhams…
Global Village UAE is sadly coming to an end on May 11, 2025, but if you have little ones, we have great news as the family destination has just announced that they can enter for free.
Global Village announced the news on their official Instagram with the news that children ages 12 and under can enter for free until the end of Season 29.
So, if you haven't visited yet, this is your sign to make plans and go. What's inside?
If you've visited the previous seasons of Global Village, you should know that there are plenty of new surprises to explore this season.
There's a brand-new Restaurant Plaza with 11 two-storey restaurants offering global cuisine. There are four cultural pavilions to visit: Jordan, Iraq, Sri Lanka and Bangladesh. Each features a themed facade with an array of food stalls and shops inside.
The Railway Market and Floating Market have been transformed with fresh new concepts and Fiesta Street has had some enhancements to give it an added wow factor for the new season.
Need to catch your breath? Global Village UAE also features green promenades with picnic-style benches throughout the space.

Many visitors head to the attraction more than once during the season's run and for good reason.
Global Village is home to plenty of country pavilions from around the globe, each offering up cultural treats from their country. You can either walk home with shopping bags packed with items from clothing, accessories, perfumes, souvenirs and so much more, or you can enjoy the delicious cuisine. Many pavilions even put on cultural performances so you can enjoy a show while you dine.
Besides the pavilions, do remember to visit the Fiesta Street, Railway Market, the Floating Market and the Road to Asia where several fantastic countries including the Philippines, Indonesia, Malaysia, Nepal, and more represent themselves.
For more fun away from the shopping and eating, there's Carnaval with over 195 rides, games and attractions. There will be something for visitors of all ages including tiny tots. If you're good at carnival games, try your luck and walk home with a huge stuffed animal including the famous giant banana plushie.
Returning to the park is House of Fear – said to be the region's scariest haunted house experience with live actors. Besides entertainment at the pavilions, there are shows on the main stage, Cyber City Danger Zone Stunt Show (a performance with flying bikes, LED-covered police cars and a tank), plus roaming entertainment.
Oh, and yes, Dragon Lake returns with a new dragon, twice the size of last year's where a laser show takes place.
How can you not attend?
Global Village UAE, Dubailand, Dubai, until May 11, ticket prices from Dhs25. globalvillage.ae @globalvillageUAE

The best beaches in Abu Dhabi for a day in the sun
While it can be relaxing to sit by the pool and sip on beverages, there's nothing better than putting your feet in warm sand. If you're looking for the best beaches in Abu Dhabi, we have you covered. Abu Dhabi might be a bustling city with glamorous skyscrapers and breathtaking architecture, but it also makes for the perfect sun, sea and sand destination thanks to its beautiful beaches. Whether you're a resident in the city or a tourist, you can spend your days dipping in and out of crystal-clear oceans and soaking up the sun, enjoy evenings watching a picturesque sunset over the Arabian Sea or be the life of the party at one of Abu Dhabi's popular beach clubs. The capital is home to an array of both private and public beaches that are all worth a visit. Here are the best beaches in Abu Dhabi. Al Maya Island & Resort If you want to relax but also like a party atmosphere then this could be ideal: Al Maya has one of the best beaches in Abu Dhabi for a party. Especially for the ladies, who get to go free if they arrive before 3pm all week. Catch a boat from a dock next to the Khalidiya Palace Rayhaan by Rotana and then take a 20-minute jaunt over to this resort. On weekends there's a party atmosphere where you can lie on one of the many sun loungers, sit around the poolside bar, hit the dance floor and party to tunes being spun by top DJs, or jump into the massive pool and socialise around the swim-up bar. Dhs200 (weekdays) Dhs250 (weekends and public holidays). Open Sun-Fri, 10am-8pm, (02 667 7777 ). Al Bateen With stunning views of Hudayriat Island and the bridge, Al Bateen Beach caters to everyone. There are locals, residents and tourists and because of its calm, shallow waters and a prestigious Blue Flag sustainability award by the Emirates Wildlife Authority, it's a great option for families too. There are also several food and beverage outlets, volleyball courts, sports activities, washrooms, changing rooms and showers. Free. Open daily 8am-sunset. Al Bateen Beach, Khalifa Al Mubarak Street, off Al Khaleej Al Arabi Street. Corniche beach You've probably driven past it lots of times but have you ever spent a day on the beach on the Corniche? It's one of the best beaches in Abu Dhabi for a quick trip. The pristine beachfront is a fantastic family spot on which to enjoy a relaxed day. The seaside boardwalk is four miles long and the walkways are paved and dotted with benches and gardens that overlook the ocean. Surrounding the Corniche beach there are children's play areas, separate cycle and pedestrian pathways, cafés and restaurants. Dhs10 for adults and Dh5 for kids over five, Dhs25 per sun lounger. Open daily 8am-8pm. Corniche Rd. Kai Beach Saadiyat Looking for the best beach not just in Abu Dhabi but the whole of the Middle East? Well, you are in luck because it happens to be right here on our doorstep. The dreamy Saadiyat Island was named 'Middle East's Leading Beach Destination' for the 11th consecutive year in 2024 (yes, 11 years) and Kai Beach happens to be one of the beaches on Saadiyat's shores. Open daily from 7am to sunset, there are no reservations and entry is on a first come first served basis. Dhs150 (adults, Mon-Thu, Dhs50 redeemable on F&B), Dhs75 (kids, Mon-Thu, Dhs25 redeemable on F&B), Dhs150 (Fri, ladies only), Dhs225 (adults, Sat-Sun, Dhs50 redeemable on F&B), Dhs100 (kids, Sat-Sun, Dhs25 redeemable on F&B).

There are plenty of food trucks and restaurants around for when hunger strikes (Wingstop, W.T.F. and Shrimp Pot are just some of the options), plus plenty of fun activities for kids and adults alike. We're talking kids' pool and a splash park, a volleyball court, an outdoor gym and cycle paths. Oh, and did we mention it's free? Yep, pretty awesome. Free. Open daily 8am to 7pm. Hudayriat Beach, Hudayriat Island, @marsanahudayriyat. Mamsha Beach Saadiyat Island (formerly Soul Beach) Soul Beach closed for refurbishment earlier this year and, in the words of the T-Swift, she can't come to the phone because… it now answers to Mamsha Beach Saadiyat Island (which makes sense since it's on – you guessed it – Mamsha). An easy choice when you want a day of complete beach bliss, it boasts powdery white sand and Saadiyat blues – what more could you ask for? Not only will you get a 10/10 beach day but you also have some pretty good restaurants within walking distance. There's Pickl for a great burger, Italian favourite Antonia (the winner for best Casual Dining at the Time out Abu Dhabi Awards 2025), Niri (the winner for Best Japanese at the Time Out Abu Dhabi Restaurant Awards 2025) and TOTÓ (highly commended), Cristiano Ronaldo and Rafael Nadal's first restaurant in the capital.

They're both located on Hudayriat Island, right next to free Hudayriat Beach. From Dhs25. Open daily 8am to 7pm. Marsana Beach, Hudayriat Island, @marsanahudayriyat. Yas Beach Styling itself as a 'beach playground' big on beats and brunches, Yas Beach is a must-visit spot – especially because of its prime location to watch the sunset. The club is home to restaurants and a bar, as well as being a spot to enjoy plenty of watersports. There's a fee to get in, but it's also free if you're staying at any of the hotels on Yas Island. Open daily 10am-7pm. Dhs80 (adults, Mon-Thu), Dhs150 (adults Fri-Sun, public holidays), free (kids 11 and under when with an adult). Yas Beach, Yas Island. @ (056 242 0435).

Global Village hits new record with 10.5 million visitors in Season 29
Global Village Season 29 was a massive success… Season 29 of Global Village was a smash hit, and we have the statistics to prove it. The family destination welcomed a record 10.5 million visitors in the six months that it was open. This is a new high, as compared to 10 million visitors in the previous season, and the highest number of visitors in one season since opening. The destination continues to upgrade on a year-to-year basis in order to accommodate to the growing number of visitors, adding expansions, brand new and exciting attractions, more pavilions, more amazing dining options, more facilities and larger-than-life entertainment. In Season 29 alone, 30 pavilions represented more than 90 cultures, with more than 400 performers delivering over 40,000 incredible shows, over 200 rides and attractions, over 3,500 shopping outlets, and more than 250 dining options from around the world. All these features brought the culture, heritage and authentic representation of the participating countries under the spotlight for us to experience. When is Global Village reopening? We know it just closed for the season, but we can't wait for the next season to come around. After just a little search on the official Global Village Dubai website, we found out that the outdoor attraction will return from October 2025 to May 2026. We don't know the official dates, and they will be announced closer to the time, but this next season is going to be a very special one, because Global Village will be celebrating 30 years of entertaining Dubai (and beyond). This in itself is exciting, but we can expect something really big for the new season. We don't have all these details yet, but we are sure it will be announced closer to the opening. And of course, we will be keeping a close eye on the news. Global Village Dubai has already opened its registrations for vendors to sign up for the new season. So, if you're a homegrown vendor or entrepreneur who just wants to show off their creation to the world, go and sign up.
