It is part of the ongoing Year of Community in the UAE, which aims to strengthen family and community bonds by preserving cultural heritage, intergenerational ties, and create inclusive spaces that foster collaboration. The GDRFA says that the free tickets will enhance the visitor experience in Dubai as well as highlight the city's rich cultural diversity and reinforce its status as a distinguished global destination. With Global Village set to close on Sunday May 11, time is running out to visit the popular park before the summer.
