Global Village is gearing up for a flag-waving night next week. A show featuring 700 illuminated drones will fly over the park on Tuesday, 3 November, in honour of UAE Flag Day. The night is likely to draw a crowd. The theme is national pride, and the park is leaning into it from the moment you walk through the gates.
When Is The Global Village Drone Show?
The show kicks off at 8pm on Tuesday. Flag Day is marked on 3 November every year, and this year’s edition is the 14th. Expect the sky to glow in red, green, white and black, the colours of the national flag, as a light-filled tribute to the country.
What Else Is Happening On The Day
The drones aren’t the only part of the celebration. Everyone who enters the park on Tuesday will be handed a UAE flag at the gate, so you can join in rather than just watch from the crowd.
Flags will also be on display across the park, and landmarks such as the Carnaval wheel will be lit up in the flag’s colours. It should make for some very photogenic corners even before the drones take off. Between the flags in hand and the colours overhead, this is one of the more interactive ways to mark the day in Dubai.
Don’t Skip The UAE Pavilion
The UAE Pavilion is expected to be one of the busiest spots on the day. It has local products and Emirati specialities to browse, which makes it a good place to spend time before the show begins.
Each pavilion at Global Village features products, cultural performances and displays from the country it represents, so it’s a handy place to spend the hours before the show.
How To Get Tickets
Tickets are still available from AED25. You can buy them through the official Global Village website, the mobile app, or at the ticket counters at the gates.
If you’re planning to be there, it’s worth getting in early so you can explore the pavilions and find a good viewing spot before the lights go up.
