A travel guide to the best places to visit

Global village

One of the largest open air amusement parks in the world is Global Village. The park is open five months a year, as it tends to be closed during the warm summer. The characteristics of Global Village resemble that of a huge city fair, with bumper cars, boats, shows, a rollercoaster and a ferris wheel and rides suitable for the entire family. It’s also a haven for shoppers as cultures from across the world are represented in their own pavilions containing entertainment, shops and stalls from that respective culture. There are also many restaurants from a diverse array of exotic cultures from the middle east and asia. The park is certainly a recommended visit for families of all ages staying in Dubai.
