Major Events Energize Dubai: Gitex, Safari Park, Global Vill
Dubai is preparing for an exhilarating week as three major attractions return to the city, promising to draw large crowds and create a vibrant atmosphere. With Gitex Global, Global Village, and the reopening of Dubai Safari Park, residents and visitors alike can expect a bustling environment filled with innovation, entertainment, and adventure.
Gitex Global: A Hub for Technology Enthusiasts
One of the most significant events on the global tech calendar, Gitex Global, will take place at the Dubai World Trade Centre (DWTC). This annual exhibition brings together innovators, investors, and tech enthusiasts from around the world to showcase cutting-edge advancements in technology. With thousands of attendees expected each day, traffic around the DWTC is likely to be heavy.
To mitigate congestion, the Roads and Transport Authority (RTA) advises attendees to utilize public transport options. The venue is accessible via the Dubai Metro (Red Line), Dubai Tram, public buses, and taxis. Visitors should ensure their nol cards are adequately funded—Dh15 for Silver Class or Dh25 for Gold Class round-trip. These cards can be easily topped up through the nol Pay app or at vending machines.
Limited parking is available near the DWTC at Dh25 per hour, but alternative options include Park & Ride facilities and multi-storey car parks in Al Jaffliya and Al Satwa. For those choosing taxis, Careem is offering a 20% discount on rides booked with the code GITEX2025, making it a convenient and economical choice.
Dubai Safari Park: A Wild Adventure Awaits
On October 14, Dubai Safari Park will reopen its doors for its seventh season, themed ‘Wild Rules’. To celebrate the occasion, visitors will have opportunities to win free tickets during the launch week. The park has been generating excitement with a stunning flying LED screen that recently lit up Dubai’s skyline, hinting at the thrilling experiences to come.
This season, the park will introduce fast-track access for popular attractions like the Explorer Safari Tour and offer private guided tours for small groups. Families can look forward to the ‘Guardians of the Wild’ educational initiative, featuring interactive workshops, wildlife talks, and activities aimed at promoting biodiversity awareness. A standout feature this season will be the upgraded ‘Birds Kingdom Live Presentation’, which promises to deliver an even more immersive and entertaining experience.
Global Village: Celebrating 30 Years of Cultural Exchange
Global Village will reopen on October 15 at 6 PM, marking the beginning of its milestone Season 30. This year’s theme, ‘A More Wonderful World’, celebrates three decades of cultural exchange, global entertainment, and family-friendly fun. The opening night is expected to dazzle visitors with vibrant lights, live performances, and a showcase of diverse music and dance from around the globe.
