Embrace the Magic: UAE Reopens Top Attractions

Winter Wonders Return: UAE's Outdoor Attractions Reopen

As the summer heat in the United Arab Emirates begins to ease gradually, residents and visitors eagerly anticipate reclaiming the country's most popular outdoor attractions. Following the annual schedule, numerous outdoor event venues close during the summer months due to extreme temperatures and maintenance work but start reopening from October. The reopening not only signals milder weather but also ushers in a period of active social life, entertainment, and natural experiences.

The 2025-2026 season promises to be particularly exciting as several iconic locations prepare with significant developments and new additions. Below, we present four outdoor attractions reopening to the public this fall.

Global Village – Celebrating 30th Season from October 15

One of the world's most famous cultural and entertainment centers, Global Village in Dubai, celebrates its 30th anniversary this year. In the new season opening on October 15, visitors can expect pavilions representing 30 countries, each offering unique products, traditional foods, national performances, and a fair-like atmosphere.

Last year, Global Village underwent significant infrastructure developments, introduced new attractions, and implemented digital and physical elements to enhance the visitor experience. The anniversary year will feature exclusive programs, shows, and new interactive experiences that promise excitement for all age groups.

The venue is easily accessible from various points of Dubai and is extremely popular not only among tourists but also with local residents. It provides an unforgettable evening for families, groups of friends, and couples alike at this vibrant multicultural center.

Dubai Fountain – Reopens Refurbished with New Visual Elements

The famous Dubai Fountain, located next to the Dubai Mall and the Burj Khalifa, is one of the world's most renowned fountains, enchanting visitors with its mesmerizing harmony of water, light, and music. Its last show was held on April 19 last year, after which extensive renovations commenced.

The fountain returns in October 2025 with a completely revamped choreography, modernized sound and lighting systems, and expanded water effects. The new season promises even more spectacular nightly shows, further enhancing Dubai's global appeal in terms of nightlife and tourist attractions.

Dubai Fountain is particularly favored by photographers, social media enthusiasts, and lovers of romantic evening strolls. With its renewal, it not only advances technically but can also have a deeper emotional impact on the audience, who return repeatedly to be part of the experience.

Dubai Safari Park – Nature Takes the Spotlight Again from October 14

Located on the city's outskirts, Dubai Safari Park offers new adventures for visitors every year, especially families. The zoo opens its seventh season on October 14, continuing to host over 3,000 animals based on experiences from previous years.

The park is divided into six different zones, each showcasing different climate and geographical characteristics along with their corresponding animal species. Following the October opening, various events, educational programs, and evening safari shows will enrich the offerings.

Visitors not only receive the classic zoo experience but also find themselves in a true educational and conservation center where environmental awareness plays a central role.

Dubai Miracle Garden – The Magic of Flowers Returns

Open for only a few months each year, the Dubai Miracle Garden is one of the world's largest natural flower gardens. With over 150 million flowers, installations, sculptures, and themed arrangements offer unparalleled visual experiences and are popular Instagram-worthy photo spots.

Typically closed from May to September to protect plants from the hot summer months, it reopens this October with expected new floral compositions, special themed walkways, and newly designed visitor rest areas.

For nature and design enthusiasts, this is an unmissable destination, as the park's atmosphere is rejuvenated every year with new themed installations. Those who have not visited yet have a great opportunity to immerse themselves in the world of colors and scents while walking among the flowers.
