      How exciting that you’re planning a trip to Dubai, Global Village is definitely one of those high energy, super fun spots to hit up and I’m glad this video will be helpful for you! To answer your question, they do mention they have in park taxis. If it’s just one family member who needs the assist, another option they have by the main entrance are these motorized chairs which are easier to navigate through the crowd. For kids they have these cute push carts designed like cars but personally I find those a bit cumbersome to push through crowded areas. I’d recommend also downloading the Global Village app - that’s where I buy tickets and figure out what shows are on that evening. Hope this helps!

      Welcome (in advance) to Dubai! So glad that this will come in use once you move here. There’s so many different options, TOO MANY options frankly, get ready to eat ALOT 😅 and that’s why I’ll be sharing many more videos on what I’d recommend as someone who grew up here & who’s done food tours for over a decade. Thanks for watching and excited to have you in my community!

    This was such a fun watch! That shawarma looked NUTS. I'm a chicken shawarma girl through and through, I don't think I had a beef one till I was MUCH older, but that shawarma bowl might convert me. Also, passionfruit anything is solid.
