Some good and some bad. Every year this seems to become expensive, getting here is also not easy on metro so including taxi and family ticket it adds up. Then going in eating and buying most items are triple or double the price on market. Turkey is def. The most overpriced one, they are selling items that don’t cost as much in actually parts of turkey, so you have to be silly to not see this, I am guessing most people must be well travelled here. Walking around gets tiring, and you can spend 5 hrs. This time the only part that was really sad is in a Muslim country what goes in on the India stand , the men love touching women and thinking it’s normal and they can get away with it! So be careful sometimes they may do it thinking they haven’t done anything wrong. And i am Muslim

Let your customer service and gate attendants to have a good customer service training. We don’t like how he (African guy but not sure well with nationality if he’s really African) treated my colleague (gay) when we about to enter the entrance and how he shouted to my lady colleague. Please do advice respectful environment towards tourists and staffs. Thank you.

Global Village is a shopping center with stalls that sell you wares, apparently from different countries of the world. However, almost all stalls across different countries, including Europe sell locally sourced stuff(some exceptions). I was surprised to see all Middle Eastern stuff at the European Pavillion. Secondly, everything is over priced and most food stalls that so not display their prices openly are cheats. I had terrible experience at the Moroccon food stall ehere I had tea that was published 15 aed at the corner wall, but the cashier later sends me a bill of 55 aed saying that 15 aed was for takeaway only( it wasnt written anywhere). Similarly at the Syrian stall they showed a picture of an ice cream and served something altogether different and unappealling. Most items at Stalls are cheap quality and over priced. You could get high end luxury brands at prices quoted at these stalls.. However, food is very good, but buy only from places that have clearly published prices with pictures of what they serve or you know what exactly you are buying. If you think the person selling is trying to cheat, then they mostly are. So beware and trust your gut. Overall I would say go to Global Village only for some good food experiences, other wise its worth a miss. The final highlight for us however, was the stunt show at the end, which sort of uplifed our mood after the bad experiences. Will I go there again? NO.

Worth visiting once to absorb the experience. It is one big large fair exhibiting global culture. You can enjoy food and craft from different regions of the world. But shopping here is quiet costly as compared to Deira Dubia

Cheap entrance fee is about one of the few positives that be be said. If you are going to give it a visit plan your journey time carefully. It should take about 20 mins but we were at least an hour getting there due to the horrific traffic at 5:30pm. Despite the traffic jams the entrance fee queues are quick and entry price is cheap. Don’t go expecting to try food from around the world. Unfortunately the food stalls are like over priced burger van type food and are very slow. We also expected the food stall to reflect the countries they were next too but this is not the case. Apparently Turkey are famous for their baked potatoes! There are also lots of stalls selling items like clothes, bags, souvenirs which are supposed to be from the relevant counties but unfortunately whether it was due to the volume of people it just looked like a massive jumble sale. There are also shows on but you need to pay extra to see these and book in advance as they were sold out when we arrived. There are lots of other things to see and do in Dubai which are much better than this attraction.

It is a huge place, with pavilions of different countries. It was interesting to see for some of the pavilions of countries which you never visit, like Yemen. Most of the pavilions have shops selling their local items. The place is great for shopping enthusiasts and foodies. There are lots of places to eat, road side eatery to restaurants. There is also a play area for kids which has some rodes, rides are very expensive though. We ate mexican which was very authentic and good. Please note, it is a huge place and you will need to walk a lot.

Absolutly magical and unbelivable. There‘s so much to see, it‘s almost overwhelming. Buy your tickets online and don‘t buy the once that say you don‘t have to stand in line. First online it‘s cheaper, we payed about 10€ per person. There you will pay a bit more than 10. But there are practically no lines to wait so don‘t spend your money on that. I recomand bringing a lot of cash money. There is so much to try and buy. Food everywhere! It‘s okay compared with the prices on other places. If you enter the „villages“ of the countries get prepared to ignore the very pressing sellers. You really have to keep your had down and say „no“. Otherwise you‘re in their fangs and you will spend a lot of money on things you don‘t need. I really recomand eating the mac and cheese from the food truck near the „UAE-Village“ entrance. It was so delicious!!

Effort to replicate the Hyderabad Nizam’s Numaish from Hyderabad. Basically Numaish on some steroids. Shops in every country are either Abaya, Thop, Perfume and Food What if most of the products from different countries are made in China? Still ok to get fascinated for 2-3 hours

A huge and impressive complex, which is divided into pavilions from all over the world. Each pavilion has a selection of shops and stalls that sell products and food, which are typical of that country. In the area of the village there are shows, amusement facilities, and many more food stalls. The complex is open from the afternoon, the duration of the visit lasts several hours.... Entrance to the park is with a fee.
