Global Village Extends Season 29 Until May 18
Dubai's Global Village has extended its current season by one week, pushing the closing date from May 11 to May 18, in response to high visitor turnout and ongoing demand. The family-favourite destination will now remain open daily from 4pm to 1am, offering guests additional time to enjoy its cultural showcases, food stalls, and entertainment. The extension was announced on Sunday, allowing more visitors to take advantage of ongoing promotions and special events before the season wraps up. Popular offers will continue through the final week, including the 'Kids Go Free' deal for children under 12, the Dh50 unlimited Carnaval rides package, and the 'Golden Bar Challenge' where guests can win up to Dh2,900 in cash prizes as part of an Dh87,000 pool. Global Village also confirmed that fireworks will light up the skies during the final weekend—Friday, Saturday, and Sunday—to mark the season finale in style. In addition to its 250 dining options, many exclusive to the venue, the park has enhanced this season with new cultural performances, entertainment acts, and upgraded infrastructure. This isn't the first time Global Village has extended its run. Similar extensions were granted in previous years, with the 2022 and 2023 seasons prolonged to accommodate high footfall. With just days remaining, the extended week offers one last opportunity for residents and tourists to experience the vibrant mix of global culture, cuisine, and entertainment before Season 29 officially comes to a close.

Dubai Police Gift Inmate Dh87,000 Prosthetic Limb, Ending Years of Pain
In a heartening display of empathy and care, Dubai Police have provided a 41-year-old inmate with a custom-designed prosthetic limb, valued at Dh87,133, after years of enduring chronic pain and health issues caused by a worn-out, ill-fitting prosthetic. The detainee, who had undergone an amputation of his right foot, had been using a prosthetic limb for over a decade. Unfortunately, the old limb had become unsuitable for his body and bone structure, causing ulcers, severe pain, and significant difficulty in walking. His health and mobility had significantly declined, leaving him in poor physical condition upon his arrival at the detention center. Swift Action by Dubai Police Upon recognizing the severity of the inmate's condition, Dubai Police promptly referred him to specialists for treatment. As a result, he was provided with a high-quality prosthetic limb, custom-built to suit his unique needs. The prosthetic will allow the inmate to regain his mobility and significantly improve his overall well-being. Comprehensive Rehabilitation Plan In addition to the prosthetic, the inmate has been enrolled in a six-month physiotherapy program under the supervision of rehabilitation specialists. This program will help him properly adjust to the new limb and regain his strength, offering him a chance to live a more independent and fulfilling life. This initiative reflects Dubai's commitment to supporting inmates' rehabilitation, offering them opportunities for recovery and reintegration into society, with a focus on improving both their physical and emotional health. The total investment in the prosthetic and rehabilitation program comes to Dh87,133. A Step Forward in Compassionate Rehabilitation This generous gesture by Dubai Police demonstrates the ongoing commitment to not only maintaining law and order but also ensuring the health and rehabilitation of those under its care. It marks a significant step toward compassionate justice and highlights the value of addressing the physical and emotional needs of inmates, promoting rehabilitation and reintegration rather than simply punishment.
