Although recent times presented the world with many challenges, we are proud to have broken barriers in the travel, tourism, and hospitality sector. With world-class precautionary measures in place since October 25th, we have elevated guest confidence in new normal conditions, delivering the very best experiences safely. This, together with guests' enthusiasm and the positive impact of our Silver Jubilee Season, encouraged us to work with our partners to extend this season by 14 days. Ramadan is a month where families come together, and Global Village is the perfect open-air destination to spend time with loved ones. We are looking ahead to the Holy Month as a perfect finale to this milestone year as we continue to celebrate wonder.'

During Ramadan operating hours will change from standard timings, with the park instead open from 6PM to 2AM daily to accommodate guests over during Iftar and Suhoor timings. The unique shopping, family-friendly funfair rides and games, and of course the delicious food options, makes Global Village the perfect Ramadan destination. The multicultural family destination continues applying world-class, award winning, precautionary measures in line with local and international best practices to ensure the wellbeing of its guests.
