Global Village has announced ticket prices for its 31st season ahead of its opening on October 14. Entry will cost Dh25 on weekdays, rising to Dh30 on weekends and public holidays. The park will welcome visitors from 6pm on opening night.
Regular operating hours for the new season will run from 4pm to midnight on Sunday through Wednesday, and from 4pm to 1am on Thursday through Saturday and public holidays. Season 31 runs under the theme "A More Wonderful World" and will continue through May 2027, featuring a full programme of entertainment, dining and retail attractions spread across the park's pavilions.
Among the notable changes introduced this season is a new self-payment system for VIP parking, operated through dedicated vending machines. Organisers said the move is intended to ease congestion at exit points, an issue that has been a recurring complaint from visitors in previous seasons.
Tickets for the new season can be purchased through Global Village's official website and mobile app, as well as at entrance gates starting from opening day. Global Village has become one of Dubai's most popular winter attractions, drawing millions of visitors from across the UAE and abroad each year with its mix of cultural pavilions, rides, live shows and dining options. By revealing pricing well ahead of the opening, organisers are giving families and tourists more time to plan their visits around the new season, which traditionally runs through the cooler winter months into spring.
