Like a passport. DHS 30 FOR Global village. You will enjoy, its very busy.

it gets busy later on - but it opens at like 4pm and it's quieter. Amazing shows - and stunning fireworks twice a weekend. (we used to live close by so watched them quiet often from our villa). Amazing bargain price entry feel as well.

OMG! You will be blown away with the extent of this Village. You can take a free train ride to the Entrance. 20 Dirhams entrance fee per person. There is also a fun fair for grown up kids and little ones. Every country imaginable had a shop and beautifully decorated. I bought a badly needy hand fan 10 dirhams from the Vietnam shop. Kebabs and Pitta bread from the Bosnia Stall. There is loads to see and my legs and feet were aching. Train ride back to car park if you have patience for a long wait.

You gotta plan out how to cover this place in a few hours starting from 4pm to about 10 pm cos you will end up very tired by then. Being from India we skipped the Indian section tha was huge..I did not like some of the sections like Iraq and adacent shops as the prices were high and the people were full of attitude and stale dry fruits as well. Aerbaijan onwards was ok. Finish the right side and left side initial shops quickly and reach the lane that has the food stalls - The Truffle Pasta was delicious, the crab lollipops were not that good. Reach the Russia and USA stalls across the ground quickly and try to cover as much. You would definetly wish that you stayed in Dubai and could visit the place many more times :-))
