6 helpful tips for visiting Global Village Dubai

Global Village Dubai is officially open for a new season, and if you can’t wait to visit, have a read through these handy tips below to help make your visit a little easier. Here are 6 helpful tips if you’re visiting Global Village Dubai During our visit to Global Village, a number of vendors only accepted cash, so be sure to carry some notes with you. We can’t confirm if the vendors will soon incorporate a credit card machine to help make payment easier, but for the time being, save yourself some grief and carry some money with you – the good old-fashioned way. If this slipped your mind, don’t worry; there are ATM machines available around Global Village Dubai. Patience is key at Global Village. Not only are you going to be navigating crowds (families with children and strollers, slow walkers and more), but at some point during your visit, you’re going to be in a queue – especially at those viral foodie stands. Take a deep breath and wait. But here’s a tip: if you’re at Global Village with a group, split up to beat several queues and save on time. This way you can indulge in more dishes in one sitting. Bonus: If you’re lucky, you’ll have one additional person to go and try and scout a table or a spot to dine. Tables are hard to track down; however, if you’re keen to sit down on the grass, carrying a shawl or a bedsheet to sit on will ensure you don’t get your clothes messy. PS. Sanitiser is your best friend, so carry one with you to Global Village.
