Global Village is Dubai’s large seasonal cultural park in Dubailand, with country pavilions, shopping outlets, dining, shows and a carnival zone. For Season 31, Dubai Media Office and the official Global Village site have published the entry prices, season window and daily hours. This guide focuses on the global village dubai ticket price, opening dates, timings, free-entry groups and how to reach by metro + RTA bus—not a full Dubai itinerary list.
Last checked: 11 October 2026 (Asia/Dhaka). Primary sources: Dubai Media Office Season 31 release (8 Oct 2026) and globalvillage.ae Plan your visit. This page is not based on a personal visit. Confirm the live rate and hours on the official site or app before you pay, especially around public holidays.
Global Village Dubai ticket price (Season 31)
Dubai Media Office states Season 31 entry as follows. Weekends are defined as Friday to Sunday (so Sunday uses the weekend rate). The same release says tickets will be sold on the Global Village website and mobile app, and at the gates from 14 October.
| Day type | Entry (AED) | Source label |
|---|---|---|
| Weekdays (Monday–Thursday) | AED 25 | Dubai Media Office, 8 Oct 2026 |
| Weekends (Friday–Sunday) and public holidays | AED 30 | Dubai Media Office, 8 Oct 2026 |
Optional INR snapshot (not an official conversion): at about 26.37 INR per AED on 11 October 2026 (open.er-api.com), AED 25 is roughly ₹659 and AED 30 is roughly ₹791. Use live forex if you need an exact card charge.
Khaleej Times (8 Oct 2026, updated 10 Oct) reports the same AED 25 / AED 30 split and notes one Season 31 change versus last season: weekend rates now apply on Sunday (last season weekday tickets covered Sunday–Thursday). Prefer the Media Office wording for planning.
Entry covers access to the destination’s cultural areas, shopping and dining zones and the regular entertainment programme. Carnival rides, some paid attractions and VIP packs are separate—Global Village and Visit Dubai product pages make clear that rides and many add-ons are not included in basic entry. This post does not invent ride tariffs.
Free entry groups
On the official Plan your visit page, Global Village states that entry is free for People of Determination and a companion, with reserved parking and accessible facilities.
Standing ticket terms on globalvillage.ae (Dragon Kingdom entry product page) and the Visit Dubai Experiences listing supplied by Global Village also state that children under 3 and seniors over 65 enter free of charge and should collect tickets at the admissions counter. Guests redeeming complimentary entry for People of Determination are asked to present Emirates ID or passport copy plus the POD card at the gate. Bring ID for age-based free tickets as well.
Season 31 opening dates
| Item | Detail | Source label |
|---|---|---|
| Season window | 14 October 2026 – May 2027 | globalvillage.ae Plan your visit; Media Office |
| Opening night | Wednesday 14 October 2026 from 6:00 PM | Dubai Media Office |
| Exact May closing day | Not published as a single calendar date on the pages checked | See unverified.md |
The official Plan your visit banner lists “Season 31 • 14 Oct 2026 – May 2027”. Media Office describes a run of more than seven months into May 2027. If you need the final closing date for flights, watch globalvillage.ae closer to spring 2027 rather than assuming a specific day.
Daily opening hours
After opening night, Media Office and Plan your visit agree on these regular hours:
| Days | Hours | Source label |
|---|---|---|
| Sunday–Wednesday | 4:00 PM – 12:00 midnight | Media Office; Plan your visit |
| Thursday–Saturday and public holidays | 4:00 PM – 1:00 AM | Media Office; Plan your visit |
| Opening night (14 Oct 2026) | From 6:00 PM | Media Office |
Tuesday rule: Plan your visit states that Tuesdays (except when a Tuesday falls on a public holiday) are exclusively reserved for families, couples and ladies. Visit Dubai’s Season 31 product notes also say last entry is allowed only 30 minutes before closing.
Where to buy tickets
- Global Village website — globalvillage.ae (Season 31 entry shop may show “available soon” until sales open)
- Official Global Village mobile app
- Ticket counters / gates from 14 October 2026
On 11 October 2026 the entry-tickets flow on the official site still showed a “Season 31 entry tickets will be available soon” message, while Media Office already published the AED 25 / AED 30 rates and said online/app/gate sales apply from opening. Buy only through official Global Village or clearly labelled Visit Dubai Experiences channels; Dubai Police and Timeout Dubai have previously warned about fake VIP-pack links.
How to reach Global Village (metro + RTA bus)
There is no metro station at the gates. The official Plan your visit page lists four seasonal RTA bus routes from major metro / bus hubs:
| Bus | From | Notes on official page |
|---|---|---|
| 102 | Centrepoint Metro Station | Seasonal public bus |
| 103 | Union Metro Station (via Al Rebat Street) | Seasonal public bus |
| 104 | Ghubaiba Bus Station (via Max Fashion Metro Station) | Seasonal public bus |
| 106 | Mall of the Emirates Metro Station (via Al Barsha / Al Quoz stops) | Seasonal public bus |
The same page says the service usually runs about 3:15 PM – 11:15 PM daily with roughly 30 minutes travel time, and points callers to RTA on 800 9090 for stops and timetables. Careem, Uber and RTA taxis are also listed as options.
Parking (brief)
Plan your visit lists free parking zones (for example P1 / P3 / P5 roughly 400–450 m from Gate of the World) and paid options (examples on the page: paid parking about AED 120 per day; Happiness Gate paid zone about AED 75 per day; VIP parking AED 200 per day, complimentary for VIP pack holders). Distant weekend zones (P7–P11) mention a free shuttle or rickshaw from about AED 10. Rates can change—use the official map on the day.
What Season 31 is (context only)
Media Office describes Season 31 under the theme “A More Wonderful World”, with 29 pavilions representing more than 90 cultures, thousands of shopping outlets, dining additions, carnival attractions and a large show programme. New or refreshed items named in that release include pavilion updates, passport stamping for guests, dining concepts and later-season rides such as Tokyo Rush. Treat those as entertainment context; ticket prices above remain the planning numbers.

A separate goplanready.com post on Dubai Frame ticket price is planned later; this page does not list Dubai Frame fees or a “things to do in Dubai” roundup.
