How to plan a trip that the whole family can enjoy?
The biggest concern of Iranian families when traveling is to keep all family members happy. A father who is looking for exciteme, a mother who prefers a quiet and cultured atmosphere, a teenager who is looking for a place for Instagram photos and a young child who just was to play.
The good news is that the Global Village has a detailed plan for all of these people.
The consta concern: Is it suitable for children?
Short answer: Yes, this is a children’s paradise.
- For young children: The Carnival section with more than 31 rides, and the Peter Rabbit adveure zone will keep them eertained for hours.
- For teenagers: Ripley’s Museum (Museum of Visual Illusions), modern stalls (Turkey and Korea) for shopping, and tons of photo spots like the Gardens of the World section are exactly what they wa.
- For adults and seniors: Live music in every booth, various restauras, and numerous benches to relax provide an ideal atmosphere.
How to get to the venue of Dubai Global Village?
Global Village is located outside the city ceer (Dowown). You can reach the venue by taxi in about 30 minutes and its cost is about 15 to 20 dirhams. In addition, RTA buses will take you from Union Metro or Mall of the Emirates for just 10 dirhams, but you will be on the way for 40 to 60 minutes.
Is it possible to coordinate the transfer?
Usually, people who travel to Dubai with a tour to see such eves or visit an exhibition, add services such as round-trip transfers to their tour package. This issue can help to eliminate the worry of commuting, especially when you travel with your family; Because no one likes to get stuck in strange streets with his family and not be able to easily find a way to get back to the hotel after hours of walking.
Key pois you should know before participating in this eve
Imagine eering a complex that has 30 pavilions and 200 amusemes. If you don’t have a plan, your day will be spe walking aimlessly and you will miss the main attractions.
How much time do you need for a good experience?
Allow at least 4-6 hours for a full experience that includes sightseeing, food sampling, an original show, and an adveure like Dragon Kingdom.
Watch out for Tuesday!
This is a key poi that can ruin your program if you don’t know it. Tuesdays are family and women’s day (except public holidays). This means that men who travel with their friends will not be allowed to eer on this day.
