Global Village is a very colorful and atmospheric place, a grandiose space with a large number of pavilions representing different countries of the world with unique goods, an amusement park for children, a concert venue and even a floating market. The most interesting pavilions for us were the pavilions of Africa and Asia. The most vivid impressions remained from visiting the Global Village. The territory is huge, it should take from 3 to 4.5 hours to visit everything. Entrance is paid. There are many food outlets (mainly fast food) and an exchange office on the territory of the complex, which is very convenient.

A gorgeous, atmospheric place to spend a wonderful time!
In order to see everything, one day is definitely not enough for you.
On the territory you will see:
Attractions carousels swings and not only for children)) A lot of things make your eyes run away. Along the way there are small cafes, as well as food outlets where food from different nations of the world is prepared and sold.
Of course, there are shops with souvenirs and clothes along the way, as well as goods.
On the territory you will see a kind of ensemble of pavilions representing different countries of the world, it looks amazing. You get to some kind of mini countries of the world. Super!
I can single out India, Iran (below in the photo) very beautiful pavilions outside and inside. Of course, I do not want to offend the pavilions of other countries, they are no less beautiful.
It is mandatory to visit both with the whole Family and with friends. Good luck to everyone !

Very beautiful. From the very entrance to the very exit, it is impossible to break away from the stunning views and architecture typical of various countries and regions. Local cuisines and goods are presented inside each pavilion of the country. Aromas and colors merge into a delicious cocktail of excellent mood.
There is a place to eat, choose the cuisine of which region you prefer and go ahead. All kinds of Oriental, and for some reason, Balkan, are especially common. At least at the time of our visit, we counted more than three cafes and restaurants in the Balkan region.
You can walk endlessly. But we also need to go home. You can get there by car, taxi, or regular buses to the metro.

It is positioned as a fair with the traditions of the peoples of the world. In fact, it is a huge market. A large-scale and beautifully made market. There are many pavilions from different countries, with clothes, cosmetics, household goods inherent in this country. But most are made in China. And it is very expensive (you can definitely bargain in the Africa pavilion). A big plus is the opportunity to try a variety of food, from classic boiled corn and popcorn, to dishes typical of a certain country. Children will not be bored in the big amusement park either.

A huge fair of all sorts of things. You can eat, watch different shows, do some shopping.
There are sooo many people on the weekend that can't get through. Prices are cheaper than in the shopping center in Dubai, so locals are willing to buy here. There are a lot of very beautiful fabrics, national clothes of different countries
I liked. One disadvantage is the remoteness. There is a bus that goes there, but it takes a very long time to get there. It's expensive to take a taxi, given that the entrance is paid.

An elegant open-air fair on the territory of which pavilions and products from most countries of the world are presented. It works in the evening, Tuesday, if I'm not mistaken, is a family day - visiting by men is highly not recommended. You can find everything your heart desires - spices, food, hand made products, cosmetics, jewelry, carpets from all corners of the globe. Among the disadvantages is the assortment of the Rossiya pavilion, except for honey, incomprehensible cosmetics, hairpins, children's clothes and fur coats from the "plucked rabbit", our country has nothing to imagine. There are many fast food areas and entertainment parks on the territory.
The working hours are from 16 to 00, from October to April. You can get there by public transport - via metro and bus (bus stop nearby) or, more simply, by taxi. If you live in the downtown Dubai area, then the trip takes 30-50 minutes and costs from 60AED

One of my favorite places in Dubai!
A huge territory with pavilions dedicated to different countries, where you can taste local food and buy goods by region!
A huge number of restaurants, attractions for children, various shows, lights, music! There is a huge parking lot nearby for free.
There are a lot of people on weekends. By the way, the ticket price is very pleasant, you can buy it online in advance and there will be a discount.

A very atmospheric and interesting place. There are many pavilions from different countries on the same site and you can visit several dozen countries in one evening. Each pavilion sells products specific to this country. The price tag is too high, but you can bargain.

It is beautiful and interesting for a hike with the whole family, although the territory is large and it will be tedious for children.
I resorted to the help of the prosecutor, the accompanying Ivan is well done, thanks to the representative at the Occidental Sharjah Nargiz hotel. But 2 hours is not enough there. I want to go into the pavilion and take a look. I didn't even have time to look at half of it, while I didn't eat or get distracted by attractions.

The idea is great! To gather representatives of manufacturers from different countries and peoples in one place and give an opportunity in this noisy , bright, sometimes naive place to find partners, join the cuisine, the atmosphere of the countries represented . Super! It is impossible to get around everything in one evening (they open at 16:00 and work until 23:00).
If you arrive by car, I recommend driving past their expensive 120 aed paid parking lots, leave the car at a nearby shopping center and have fun riding an electric bicycle rickshaw to the entrance))

A must-visit in Dubai) it looks like our VDNH, with a slightly different concept, in places it looks like the Gardener's market, In fact a huge open-air shopping center. In the evening, there is a show program, dances of peoples in each pavilion every half hour. There are a lot of people. Everything is expensive, noisy, packed as always. Dancing groups are highly overrated in my opinion) There is an amusement park - more for children, but there is also for adults. Well scared in House of Fear - I recommend it))

Large-scale, but very crowded. Basically, all the pavilions of the countries have monotonous products (fabrics, spices, clothes). It is difficult to get there on your own, buses rarely run, taxis in that direction are not cheap. There is a large amusement area, for children, and for adults there is a lot of entertainment. There are many cafes with different cuisines. The entrance ticket is inexpensive

I love the Global Village, I think it's a must-visit place in Dubai. Admission is inexpensive, but there are a million entertainments inside: pavilions from all over the world with goods, a variety of cafes and restaurants, a cool amusement park, stages with constant performances for adults and children, an arena for stunt shows (my favorite) and, of course, a million locations for photos. Because of this, it can be very crowded, but if it doesn't scare you, you and your children will get a lot of new positive emotions!

A beautiful wrapper, nonsense inside))
The first impression is very pleasant, everything is beautiful, it glows, the eyes run away. The touts invite you to try everything, they smile and impose... Cherkizon reminds me)) In fact, it is a large market with local and Chinese goods. I liked the Turkish and African parts, they are at least a little authentic and fun, the rest are not impressed. There is a small lunopark with attractions for both kids and adults, prices are different, acceptable, but you can minimally replenish the card for 150 dirhams (like) and pay for the rides with it, you will not be able to buy a ticket for 1 attraction. You can watch the show on the big stage, the children will like it, they repeat every 20-30 minutes. In the evening it gets colder in the desert, it is better to wear closed shoes and take a warm jacket with you, especially if you are traveling from November to March. I definitely wouldn't have gone there a second time.

We were with the family several times, we really liked the fair. If you do not pay attention to the perfumes, rags and Chinese glitter jewelry that repeat in each country, then it is quite possible to find something very authentic and special in each pavilion. In the evening, songs and dances of the peoples of the world at different venues, you can sit down to drink tea and coffee, and before that, eat. Of course, the prices are too high, but that's what a tourist place is for. The whole "World Village" is strongly shifted to the east and this has its own charm!

Global Village Dubai (World Village) is a grand fair that takes place from November to April.
According to the idea, each participating country erects its own pavilion on the territory, which should acquaint the visitor with the way of life and cultural traditions of its people, demonstrate and offer ethnic attributes, outfits, goods and souvenirs. The number of pavilions has exceeded 27 today, and the number of participating countries is 75, in every corner of which folk music is played, traditional cuisine is prepared and cultural events are held. There is a children's playground and attractions on site. The entrance fee is 25 derham. Opening hours are from 16:00 to 24:00 (on weekdays). It was a little disappointing that there are many Chinese-made goods in the Russian pavilion that are not related to Russian culture.

An interesting place. All countries in miniature. Although the national flavor is often conveyed only by buildings that vaguely resemble something belonging to a particular country or culture. Russia is represented by several trade pavilions with domes and a large matryoshka doll. But if you come at dusk, then beautiful light shows begin - the main hobby of this place. The park opens at 16.00, when it is still light. And if you come to the discovery, then a lot of things still don't work. In particular, the national cuisine of different countries is a lot where it is just starting to cook dishes and what to try when arriving, wait 30-40 minutes.

A huge open-air market. There are not many countries, mostly Muslim. They sell mostly clothes and some food. The price tag is different, it's better to bargain.
There are performances on 2 different stages several times a day. Ideas about nothing. There is noise and uproar all around. There are a lot of different foods for every taste, but you have to understand that it's still fast food.
It is better to get from Dubai and back by taxi, of which there are a million. Save time and nerves.

An interesting place, beautifully decorated, everything is illuminated in the evening, only there is no scheme and therefore you can skip any pavilion. The fair itself is not interesting, goods that are not produced in this country can be sold in different countries, prices are greatly inflated. The Russian pavilion was disappointed, Russian-speaking sellers - Kazakhs and Kyrgyz, representing not Russian goods at all, gzhel and ceramics, matryoshkas and Russian cosmetics were presented from ours. There are performances on the main stage and in some pavilions, in general the atmosphere is friendly, everyone is friendly, the sellers are a little intrusive. There are many cafes around where you can taste and appreciate the national cuisine of different countries. It's worth visiting this place once.

For lovers of the Sadovod and TYAK Moscow market, you are here. I'm writing because I just returned from this place. To begin with, a) admission is 30 dirhams per person, two adults and an 8-year-old child gave 90 dirhams just like that b) the feeling that you are at the bazaar-station c) ice cream makers from Turkey d) price tags are simply formed from nowhere e) in the pavilions of the countries they sell goods from China and irrelevant goods. I didn't really understand why I went to Tula and spent 5.8 tr on a taxi there and back. And I paid for the entrance…

By! Or there were just other expectations. If you need fireflies and attachments, they are good. We went to see each pavilion of different countries, try different cuisine and buy something from one country or another. As a result, everything is Chinese, the sellers are Chinese, for example, Chinese cosmetics without refrigerators are sold at +35. It's also past the food court. No one will tell you what is sharp that is not if you want to buy something for a child.

The place is very interesting. But there are a few things that spoiled the experience. First of all, why are the same goods in different pavilions? For example, we buy a bag in the pavilion of country X, where they assure us that this is an exclusive handmade work of the masters of this region. However, then we see this product in almost every other pavilion. And, of course, we feel cheated.
Further. After spending several hours walking around the market, we realized not only that everything is equally Chinese everywhere. It's all just the same. And... the same size!!! ONE SIZE. In particular, I wanted to buy pajamas, a bathrobe, a sweater or a wool suit. Yes, it was not there!!! I went to one place - the size is the same for everyone. It's the same in the other tent. But the most interesting thing is that most sellers DO NOT ALLOW MEASURING products! We are not talking about underwear, but about sweaters and outerwear. As a result, we are extremely disappointed with shopping in this place. The only pavilion with really cool colorful products is Africa. So I recommend visiting, just for fun.
