As the Holy Month approaches, Global Village Ramadan timings in Dubai have officially been extended, giving residents and visitors more reasons to head out after sunset.
Global Village has announced its Ramadan programme for Season 30, turning the destination into a full evening hub built around community, culture, food and shared experiences. With longer opening hours, live performances, special Ramadan spaces and a festive atmosphere across the park, the venue is set to become one of Dubai’s most popular night-time gathering spots this Ramadan.
For a city that naturally comes alive after iftar, the timing couldn’t feel more natural.
Longer hours for Dubai’s Ramadan nights
During Ramadan, Global Village will open daily from 5 pm to 1 am (Sunday to Wednesday) and 5 pm to 2 am (Thursday to Saturday).
In a city where evenings define the season, this change matters. Ramadan in Dubai isn’t about early nights. It’s about late walks, post-iftar meet-ups, casual coffee plans, family outings and slow evenings under the lights.
These extended hours make Global Village an easy choice for:
- After-iftar family outings
- Late-night food plans
- Relaxed evening walks
- Tourist night experiences
- Suhoor meet-ups with friends
It fits perfectly into Dubai’s Ramadan rhythm — quieter roads, cooler weather, and a city that feels calmer but more connected after sunset.
For residents, it’s another space to enjoy the season without the rush. For visitors, it offers a safe, cultural and lively night experience that feels very Dubai.
Multaqa Global Village: a space built for togetherness
One of the most meaningful additions this season is Multaqa Global Village, a new tent-style Ramadan gathering area inspired by traditional majlis culture.
Set in front of the Main Stage, this complimentary seating space is designed for connection. Soft lighting, comfortable seating and open layouts create a warm, relaxed environment that feels welcoming, not staged.
Visitors can:
- Buy food from Global Village kiosks
- Sit together and share meals
- Rent traditional games
- Rest between shows
- Spend time during iftar, suhoor or late evenings
This isn’t just a seating area. It reflects a very real Ramadan habit in Dubai — gathering without pressure, sitting without rush, and enjoying company as much as food.
- For families, it’s a calm space to unwind.
- For friends, it becomes a natural meeting point.
- For tourists, it offers a genuine cultural experience.
It feels familiar. Comfortable. Human. Exactly how Ramadan spaces should feel.
Live Ramadan performances that feel calm, not crowded
Throughout the Holy Month, Global Village will host a special line-up of Ramadan-themed performances on the Main Stage.
The focus isn’t loud shows or festival energy. It’s atmosphere. Culture. Tradition.
The programme includes:
- Live orchestra performances
- Oud and Nay music
- Harp and violin sessions
- Traditional Tannoura dance shows
These performances add a soft, reflective mood to the evenings — the kind that fits Ramadan nights in Dubai, where people prefer calm energy over noise.
A key highlight is The Al Mandoos Live Game Show, hosted by Abdulla Esmaeel. The interactive show will take place at 9.30pm across three consecutive weekends, starting Friday, February 20. It’s designed for families and adds a playful, community-driven element to the evenings.
To mark the beginning of Ramadan, Global Village will also host a special drone show on Friday, February 20, at 9.30pm, lighting up the sky in celebration of the Holy Month. In true Dubai style, tradition meets technology — and the result is a modern, visual way to welcome Ramadan.
Food, décor and the Ramadan feel across the park
Ramadan at Global Village isn’t limited to one zone. The entire destination will be dressed for the season.
Expect:
- Lantern installations
- Crescent moon motifs
- Warm ambient lighting
- Ramadan-themed décor
- Photo-friendly cultural displays
The atmosphere is designed to feel festive without being overwhelming. Calm, glowing, welcoming.
Food remains a major part of the experience. With cuisines from across the world, visitors can enjoy everything from traditional dishes to street food and desserts. It’s casual dining, not formal reservations — perfect for Ramadan evenings when plans are often spontaneous.
This reflects Dubai’s real Ramadan lifestyle. People don’t always want sit-down dining. Sometimes they just want to walk, snack, talk, and explore — and Global Village gives that freedom.
