Global Village, Dubai’s leading family entertainment, shopping and cultural destination, opens its doors this year from 6 November 2014 till 11 April 2015 to the public, with Egypt promising to woo the crowds.
In its 19th season, 40 countries from all over the world will come together to present their culture and traditions through exhibits, culinary demos, musical live performances, including unique dancing and new stunt shows.
The United States will be participating for the first time in the event, while Egypt has vowed to live up to expectations building on its huge success in previous seasons.
“The fact that the Egyptian pavilion won the first place in design and performance for three consecutive times, puts a burden on our shoulders to maintain a positive image among other participant countries,” said Ibrahim Gaber, the organizer of Egypt’s pavilion and the chairman of the board of 3B United Group.
Gaber added that this year is set to be the best yet with innovative, interactive exhibits and exhilarating performances aiming to promote the country’s tourism sector.
The inauguration ceremony will be attended by a big number of Egyptian intellectuals, writers, singers, actors and media professionals for a greater impact.
Global Village kicked off its first season in 1996 with small kiosks representing different countries and welcoming 500,000 international visitors.
Over the years, the idea of Global village was met with great enthusiasm. In 2013, more that 6 million people flocked to the village to enjoy the amazing theme park environment.
As for the destination itself, the professional organizers of the London 2012 Olympics Gamer and Prince William’s wedding will take charge this year planning to bring the event to a higher level as 36 new rides and games will be scattered all over the fairground.
The dancing musical fountain in Global Village moves to the beats of music.
