Wonders of Jordan in Global Village

Global Village, a member of Tatweer Dubai and the premiere tourism destination in Dubailand, houses the magnificent pavilions and numerous cultural and entertainment activities that attract millions of visitors every year. In the ongoing 13th edition of Global Village, the park patrons are continuously mesmerized with the beautiful pavilions all around. One of these marvelous pavilions is the Jordan Pavilion wherein a glorious depiction of Petra, voted as one of the world’s seven wonders, is brilliantly standing as its façade.

The Jordan Pavilion has almost 48 shops that provide different products and services to the visitors of Global Village. Handmade traditional abayas, Middle Eastern garments, vests, jackets and belts attract visitors. The famous Palestinian scarves are also offered to everyone’s liking. Accessories, jewellery shops, and cosmetic goods like body lotion, soap, hand cream, perfume and make-up fill the stalls. Children’s garments, books and educational CDs and DVDs are also available in the pavilion. Handicrafts and home furniture items are all around the pavilion as well.

Diners can find various treats in the pavilion. At the entrance to the Jordan Pavilion, there stands a small kiosk where people can buy and taste the Arabic coffee. An Arabic restaurant is one among many shops that sell Arabic candies and sweets, olives, dates and biscuits.

Nightly shows of Jordanian Dancers amaze the guests with the richness of culture and heritage of the country. The performances vary from 3 to 4 shows per night.

The Jordan Pavilion is located next to the Syria Pavilion with the ideal way being through Gate 4 of Global Village.
