What’s more celebrating the opening of Season 27 Global Village is bringing a unique fleet of some of the world’s most recognisable and iconic cars to the streets of Dubai. The Global Village “Wonder Rides” feature taxis from New York, Cuba, Japan, Thailand, Mexico and Lebanon.
“Global Village has been a regional and international phenomenon for close to three decades, helping cement Dubai as a global hub for entertainment and tourism,” said Mohamed Sharaf, Chief Operating Officer of Dubai Holding Entertainment. “Since the end of Season 26, our teams have been using guest feedback and data to find new and unique ways to take the guest experience to the next level. This would not be possible without our extraordinary teams and partners, who work tirelessly to bring the beautiful cultures of the world to Dubai’s Global Village. We are delighted to welcome our guests from across the globe to the 27th Season of Global Village with another unmissable line-up of attractions, shopping, dining and entertainment experiences.”
