Global Village has been recognised as the UAE’s leading attraction in the latest YouGov research.

The multicultural family destination secured the top spot as the most visited attraction in the country over the past 12 months.

Nearly two in five UAE residents chose Global Village, making it twice as popular as any other venue.

It also topped the list of attractions that respondents intended to visit in the next 12 months.

The survey quizzed over 2,000 people from the UAE and Saudi Arabia.

Global Village welcomed a record 9 million guests during Season 27, which saw more than 90 cultures represented across 27 pavilions as well as 40,000 performances from over 40 different nationalities.

Earlier this month, Global Village announced extended opening time for Season 28, running from October 18, 2023 to April 28, 2024.
