Global Village Season 30: New Attractions & Upgrades in Dubai

Dubai’s much-loved Global Village is back for its 30th season, opening on October 15, 2025 through May 10, 2026, and this time with exciting new attractions and major upgrades that are raising the bar for entertainment and culture. Among the fresh highlights is the serene Gardens of the World, nestled between the Egypt and Iran pavilions — perfect for families seeking a quiet and picturesque escape. For those who crave adventure, the immersive Mythical Dragon Kingdom will take visitors through 11 themed rooms inspired by fantasy: from enchanted forests to fiery caverns.

To make the visitor experience even smoother, Global Village is introducing Way Finding screens throughout the park, plus a new S30 Passport with stamping stations at each pavilion so guests can collect stamps from every country on their journey. Kids will get their time to shine in The Little Wonderers at Carnaval® — an indoor park with obstacle courses, slides, tunnels and neon lights, designed especially for young explorers.

Visual upgrades accompany these attractions. The Dragon Lake’s huge underwater screen (a Guinness World Record-holder) is being replaced with a higher clarity display, and the dragon statue itself will feature new fire effects. The Main Stage is also being revamped: bigger, more extravagant, with more seating and upgraded production values to host even more spectacular cultural performances. Gateways at both the Sharjah and Abu Dhabi entrances are receiving dramatic new arches; Fiesta Street is expanding among the 200+ dining options; the Railway Market has been renamed Dessert District and receives a nostalgic makeover; Asia Boulevard returns with upgraded design; and Happiness Street gets a fresh canopy.

With all this, Season 30 promises to be not just a celebration but a whole new experience — a mix of culture, food, fun, art, and unforgettable nights under Dubai’s sky.
