Dubai, September 16, 2026: Dubai’s popular Global Village has announced the details of its VIP Packs for Season 31, ahead of the attraction’s reopening next month. The new season will officially begin on October 14, 2026, bringing back its combination of international pavilions, food, shopping, entertainment and attractions.
VIP Pack sales begin soon
People interested in the VIP experience will be able to pre-order their packs from September 21 to September 25. Public sales will then begin on September 26.
The packs will be sold online, and Global Village is advising customers to create their accounts in advance because the VIP Packs are available in limited quantities. Buyers must be 18 or older and have a valid Emirates ID, with purchases limited to one VIP Pack per person.
Four VIP options
There will be four main VIP Pack categories for Season 31:
- Diamond: AED 7,900
- Platinum: AED 3,490
- Gold: AED 2,490
- Silver: AED 1,890
Each option also has a separate priority-booking fee during the pre-order period.
The packs are designed for people who expect to visit Global Village frequently or want additional privileges during the season.
What do the VIP Packs include?
The Season 31 packs come in a collectible Global Village Story Book-style box and include seven special pins celebrating the UAE.
Depending on the package, benefits include VIP parking privileges, parking cards, entry tickets and Wonder Pass Cards, along with additional offers connected to Dubai Holding Entertainment attractions.
The VIP concept is therefore not simply about getting a ticket. It combines admission and additional benefits designed to make repeated visits easier and more convenient.
A surprising AED 31,000 prize
One of the biggest talking points this year is a special prize hidden inside one of the Season 31 VIP Packs.
One lucky buyer will find a cheque worth AED 31,000 inside their pack.
The amount has been chosen to match the season number — Season 31 — adding a promotional element to this year’s VIP launch.
Of course, the AED 31,000 cheque is not guaranteed for every purchaser. It is a single hidden prize, meaning only one VIP Pack holder will receive it.
Mega VIP Packs are returning
Global Village is also bringing back its Mega Gold and Mega Silver packages.
These combine Global Village VIP benefits with access to Dubai Parks and Resorts.
The Mega Gold Pack costs AED 4,990 and gives customers a choice between eight three-month Multi-Park Seasonal Passes or 12 one-day, two-park tickets.
The Mega Silver Pack costs AED 3,490 and includes either five seasonal passes or seven one-day, two-park tickets. Both Mega packages have a AED 150 priority booking fee during the pre-order period.
Season 31 opens on October 14
The main Global Village season will begin on Wednesday, October 14, 2026.
The theme for the new season is “A More Wonderful World.” Visitors can expect the familiar combination of international cultures, shopping, restaurants, street food, live entertainment, rides and other attractions.
Global Village’s previous season featured dozens of cultural pavilions representing different countries and regions, thousands of shopping outlets and hundreds of rides and games, making it one of Dubai’s major seasonal outdoor attractions.
Why the announcement matters
Global Village is particularly popular during Dubai’s cooler months because it offers a large outdoor entertainment destination at a time when temperatures become more comfortable for evening activities.
The timing of this year’s announcement also comes as Dubai’s outdoor entertainment season approaches. With Season 31 beginning in October, residents and tourists will soon have another major evening destination available after the summer period.
The VIP Pack launch also gives frequent visitors the opportunity to purchase their benefits before the season officially starts.
What happens next?
The important dates are:
September 21–25: VIP Pack pre-orders
September 26: Public VIP Pack sales begin
October 14: Global Village Season 31 officially opens
So, if you’re planning to visit Global Village this season, October 14 is the main date to remember.
For people simply interested in visiting rather than buying a VIP Pack, the announcement is mainly significant because it confirms that Dubai’s Global Village season is returning on October 14 with a new set of attractions, entertainment and seasonal activities.
