We spent the Friday weekend visiting Global Village. Running on its 14th season, this is Dubai's biggest outdoor entertainment and shopping venue during winter. Some 50 countries put up pavillions showcasing their local products. Leather jackets from Pakistan, Persian rugs from Iran, Turkish fashion, Vietnamese handicrafts,...and everything else that delights a shopaholic. In between these shopping bazaars, there is simultaneous cultural presentation from each country bringing dance and music from all over the world.
This is our fourth time to attend such event and I managed to look beyond those leather bags and Lebanese couture. I share with you some of the most interesting products you can buy and bargain for =)
handmade traditional Indian slippers
handpainted ceramic plates from Turkey pavillion
You guessed it right, capiz blinds from the Philippines.
Cocktail rings from UAE pavillion
Sand Art from most Middle East countries
of course, those famous Persian rugs
Performers from Africa
and you can buy just about anything...
It's a festive night all the time at Global Village.
