The result confirms the Dubailand attraction's standing as one of the world's most visited multicultural destinations.
Global Village Season 29 Sets a New Visitor Record
The record-breaking tally was announced as the season wrapped on May 19, 2025. Fernando Eiroa, Chief Executive Officer of Dubai Holding Entertainment, said: "Welcoming over 10.5 million guests this season reaffirms Global Village's position as one of the emirate's leading and most inclusive destinations."
The park's appeal lies in the scale and variety it offers under one roof. Season 29 showcased over 90 cultures across 30 international pavilions, letting visitors sample traditional arts, regional cuisines, and artisan crafts from around the globe in a single visit.

The entertainment calendar was complemented by more than 200 rides and attractions, over 3,500 shopping outlets, and more than 250 dining options representing cuisines from every corner of the world.
