Global Village embraces the spirit of Ramadan with cultural experiences for the whole family

Dubai, UAE, April 4, 2022: Bringing together authentic offerings from more than 80 cultures in a single location – Global Village, the UAE and wider region’s leading multicultural family destination for culture, shopping, and entertainment, is a vibrant destination to celebrate the holy month of Ramadan. The park has announced the extension of Season 26 until May 7, giving guests from Saudi Arabia plenty of opportunity to discover Ramadan traditions from a multitude of different countries and cultures as well as enjoy world-class attractions, mouthwatering cuisines and unique shopping experiences.
During Ramadan, Global Village is offering Iftar and Suhoor at the beautiful Majlis of the World. Transformed with lights, decoration, and ambient entertainment, the park exudes a festive and relaxing atmosphere. For those in need of Ramadan and Eid gift ideas, the pavilions are filled with gifts, plus everything you could need at home during the holy month.
Bader Anwahi, CEO at Global Village, said: “The holy month of Ramadan is a time for reflection and an occasion to reconnect with loved ones, and there is no better place than Global Village to experience these moments. It is wonderful that we can extend the season and welcome guests from Saudi Arabia to enjoy this auspicious occasion with us. This is also the first time in our history that we will be able to celebrate Eid Al Fitr together, which will be a very special moment for us.”
The Iftar cannon, placed next to the Majlis of the World, fires at sunset to signal the end of the daylong fast. Guests can indulge in a wide selection of mouth-watering cuisine across Global Village and Iftar or Suhoor at the Majlis whilst they enjoy traditional entertainment and a variety of board games. Tables at the Majlis can be booked via the Global Village app for up to six people for AED150 for two hours or guests are welcomed to stay the entire evening for just AED200.
Global Village’s country pavilions offer a range of food items for Iftar such as dates, honey and spices at Saudi Arabia and Yemen pavilions, dry fruits at Afghanistan, and sweets at Turkey and Syria pavilions. Unique kitchen supplies and utensils from Morocco, Turkey and Egypt will make Iftar special while bukhoor from the UAE, Bahrain and Saudi Arabia pavilions scent the air with traditional calming aromas.
Shoppers looking for the perfect outfits can explore a range of abayas, daily wear gowns and prayer scarves at Saudi Arabia and Morocco pavilions or pick up accessories from the Europe pavilion as Eid gifts.
From April 1 to May 7, park opening hours will be from 6 pm to 2 am every day. On weekends, guests can continue to enjoy the fireworks at 9pm.
