It's the silver jubilee season of the Global Village this year - and the popular family destination is all set to welcome visitors starting October 25.

The multicultural attraction announced its return for Season 25 with a video post on Twitter, depicting the best in entertainment, shopping and leisure opportunities.

It is slated to run until April 2021 with ticket prices unchanged at Dh15 per person for the 2020-21 edition.

Although Covid-19 has necessitated the closure or suspension of visits to public attractions in recent months, Dubai has been at the forefront of putting a robust health and safety strategy in place to help establishments reopen responsibly.

The festival park is targeting a footfall of over seven million visitors this year, and has opened registrations for more than 2,000 opportunities to investors.

It is best known for its celebration of diversity and multiculturalism, with over 3,500 shopping outlets from more than 78 countries - as well as over 20,000 entertainment and cultural shows.

The return of the attraction promises to provide a much-anticipated respite in the midst of the ongoing pandemic for tourists and residents alike.
