Global Village, the region’s leading Cultural, Shopping and
Entertainment family outdoor destination, has this season ensured to provide a
range of transport options that visitors can enjoy while they tour around
within the park. From the traditional Emirati Abra, Indian Rickshaw and the Express
Train as well as the other means of public transportation between Dubai and the
other Emirates to and from Global Village.
Traditional Abras
In co-operation with RTA, Global Village has designed a number of tours
along its artificial channel. Ten traditional Emirati Abras run daily tours so
visitors can enjoy a tour in Dubai’s clement weather and see the beautiful
designs of the pavilion façades from a different angle, away from traffic.
The Abras are directly supervised by RTA to ensure safety and to promote
this typically Emirati tradition as a cultural tourist attraction to both
residents and tourists. Both the park’s management and the concerned
authorities have worked on availing the right routes to all the Abras so
visitors can visualize the size of the park and its attractions.
Indian Rickshaw
Outside the park’s gate, the Rickshaws are lined up encouraging visitors
to enjoy one of India’s most popular, authentic and at times, easiest means of
traditional transport. Many of the park’s visitors have actually come to
appreciate this easy, eco-friendly and enjoyable method of touring around
Global Village and sometimes using it to commute between the gates and their
cars.
The bicycle-driven carriage with seats at the back is equally appreciated
by families, the elderly, people with special needs and children as well as
youth. After shopping and spending hours inside the park, many people opt for a
ride back to the parking spot as shopping bags get heavy.
This small train takes both the little ones as well as their parents on
a fun tour around the park. Children can wait for the train at the dedicated
station near World Culture Stage. From the small windows children can get a
glimpse of all the activities going on at Global Village.
Buses and Taxis
RTA also provides a number of buses to take people from Dubai and the
other Emirates to Global Village and vice versa. Visitors can also go green by
opting to use buses more often than cars; which will help decrease their
respective carbon footprint and eases the traffic. There is also a large number
of taxis stationed outside the park to facilitate transport to tourists and
residents.
There are many carts for rent near all the park’s gates. While children
are pushed around to enjoy the ride, parents can enjoy shopping from more than
65 countries represented in 37 pavilions.
