UAE events October 2025 bring exciting updates, from the Global Village reopening to Dubai Fountain upgrades. Residents and tourists can also expect new travel rules and outdoor attractions this season.
One of the most anticipated events is the reopening of Global Village on October 15, 2025. The attraction will run until May 10, 2026, celebrating its 30th season. Known as one of Dubai’s most popular multicultural destinations, Global Village offers international pavilions, live entertainment, food experiences, and family-friendly shopping options that attract millions of visitors annually.
The world-famous Dubai Fountain, located at the base of the Burj Khalifa, is reopening on October 1, 2025. The renovation works have added a water-resistant base, new waterproofing, and glowing tiles to make the shows more captivating than ever. Visitors can expect an enhanced visual experience combining music, water, and lights.
With the cooler months approaching, Dubai’s outdoor leisure spots are reopening. Dubai Safari Park will welcome guests again from October 14, offering animal encounters and themed villages, while the Dubai Miracle Garden reopens on September 29 with breathtaking floral installations that continue to amaze tourists and residents alike.
From October 1, 2025, Emirates will enforce stricter safety rules for passengers carrying power banks. While still permitted onboard, new safety measures are being implemented due to the risks associated with lithium batteries. Travelers are advised to check guidelines before flying.
For UAE travelers heading to Europe, a significant change arrives on October 12, 2025, when the Entry/Exit System (EES) goes live across Schengen countries. The new system replaces manual passport stamping with biometric verification, including fingerprint and facial scans, while storing travel data digitally. It applies to UAE residents traveling under visa rules and will streamline border checks across the continent.
