What to Expect When you Visit the Carnaval at Dubai’s Global Village

As the very name suggests, the Carnaval is a fun fair situated in the Global Village. It features rides, attractions, and “experiences” for the whole family and for visitors of all ages.

Among the attractions at the Carnaval is the “Wheel of the World,” a 60-metre observation wheel that offers panoramic views of the Global Village and the Dubai skyline. For thrill seekers, there’s “Moscow Max,” a pendulum-style ride that is not for the faint of heart!

Affordable and World-Class Tourist Spot

We are glad that the Global Village offers families an affordable way to have fun. Even if you just want to have a look at this top Dubai attraction, you can just pay the minimal entrance fee.

Unlike other theme parks in Dubai where you will pay more than a hundred Dirhams for a ‘ride-all-you-can’ theme park, the Carnaval offers a pay-per-ride option which makes it more convenience and cost-effective especially for other members of the family or your friends who are not fond of trying all the rides.

Added with the variety of affordable food places in Global Village, it’s quite a win-win set-up for both the park and the visitors. That’s why millions of visitors visit The Global Village annually (even if they operate only about 6 months every year).
