Global village, Dubai

The Global village in Dubai is an awesome attraction for tourists and residents alike. Started in 1997 at the Dubai creek modestly it has emerged as a destination of great global importance attracting millions to Dubai in December until April every year during the time of Dubai shopping festival.

From 2005, it had found a permanent location on Sheikh Mohammed Bin Zayed Road, Exit 37.
The abra ( traditional boat ) ride along the canal traversing the village was fantastic!
These pictures were shot in 2013 during the shopping festival season.

The Sunset was awesome!



Pavilions of many countries like Germany, Turkey, China, Kingdom of Thailand, India and all middle eastern countries are present. Visit here and you will see the unique attractions of those countries.
