Global village, Dubai, post - one


Dubai global village!
Every year the number of countries having pavilions here is increasing. No doubt, this gathering is getting better and better as years go by.

This time of the year is a festive season in Dubai. Coupled with Dubai shopping festival (DSF) there is glitter and bling everywhere in Dubai. Mesmerizing Dubai!
           


This is a unique opportunity to witness the culture, products, and people from different parts of the world without going there.
          


It actually is a vast venue with eateries, entertainment, fireworks and the like! There is a cultural stage here where artists from different countries showcase their unique cultural talents.
      
Photography, when twilight is in full swing is a wonderful thing!




 
There is an artificial canal where you can ride on traditional boats. There are stage shows, stunt shows, street shows, cultural shows, and concerts.


       
The exhibits are simply awesome! Not a moment of boredom. The price is also reasonable,

     


You will be able to buy any type of middle eastern perfumes here. Feeling lucky...well...there are lucky draws too and the winner gets sackloads of money, it is Dubai, you know!

These pictures were taken the last time I visited there in 2012.
