Fun experience, we go every year at least 2 or 3 times. Unfortunately it is getting more and more expensive. This year almost every food item was 35aed or more. And I noticed a definite shrinking of portions sizes as well. But it is still a great trip to take with the family, but we may have to limit to once per year from now on.

I last visited Global Village in 2013, and the transformation by 2025 is incredible! The place is now much bigger, brighter, and packed with food stalls, cultural pavilions, and entertainment. The organization and facilities have improved a lot, though prices are higher and it gets more crowded. Still, it’s an amazing family destination full of energy, culture, and fun for all ages!

They have a lot of restaurants and cafes there, albeit somewhat repetitive. The pavilions themselves do not contain much country/region-specific stalls, and rather have perfumes and Arabic clothing stores in most of them. It is really important to have th...
