All About Global Village Season 29

The season 29 brings exciting additions, including three new pavilions showcasing four countries, a thrilling stunt show on a dedicated stage, revamped lounging areas, adrenaline-pumping attractions, and family-friendly entertainment.

The multicultural park features a standout attraction: 30 pavilions, each representing a specific country or culture. This year, new additions include dedicated areas for Iraq, Jordan, Sri Lanka, and Bangladesh in a shared space. Each features a themed facade with an array of food stalls and shops inside.

The Railway Market and Floating Market have been transformed with fresh new concepts and Fiesta Street has had some enhancements to give it an added wow factor for the new season.

Other pavilions highlight cultures from the UAE, Saudi Arabia, India, and Russia. These pavilions provide a wealth of experiences, including cultural performances, dining kiosks, and diverse shopping opportunities for visitors. For example, the Jordan pavilion offers jugs of authentic Levantine olive oil, while the Sri Lanka and Bangladesh pavilion showcases a wide range of spices. Beyond food, visitors can find vendors selling fabrics, jewelry, home decor, and various unique items.

A 3D projection inside the exit dome of the Gate of the World is also a new addition, while Dragon Lake returns with a beast that is twice the size of last year’s. Children can make their way to the Kids Theatre to meet the Wonderers, PJ Masks, Peter Rabbit and Octonauts among other characters.

The region’s largest House of Fear is making its return just in time for Halloween, but a new attraction to test your skills at this year is Secrets of the Lost City. Open to guests aged 10 and above, this is a treasure hunt and mystery-solving experience rolled into one. Also set to make its debut in a few weeks is Exo City Planet, which promises “adventures for the entire family”.
