  • Theme park Global Village, a cultural mega success
    May 5 2024

    By far the most visited park in Dubai. Many millions of visitors find their way to Global Village. What makes this park so approachable and above all so successful?

    First of all, it is hard to compare it to any other theme park. You really have to experience it to understand what is actually on offer. The entrance fee is quite cheap and it even opens late in the afternoon, until 2AM (!). So you can extend a day in Dubai by roaming around here the whole night. This place is very crowded, full of families, full of entertainment and live performances and even a whole lot of attractions. Imagine a bustling market which gives you a glimpse into typical products from certain highlighted countries and continents. Complete with music, smells and languages. Try going here and not eating anything on location.. I challenge you!

  • Theme park Motiongate Dubai, Hollywood in the desert
    Apr 2 2024

    A theme park resort project that was headed by the Sheikh and ruler of Dubai. It could be considered a spiritual successor to the controversial Dubailand project, but heavily slimmed down and more focused. Yet, it is still ambitious and maybe a bit too imposing for its own sake.

    Built with the entire world in mind as audience, ready to invite many millions of visitors annually. Did it actually live up to these business expectations? But more importantly, how do the famous (and some less famous) Hollywood IP's really hold up in a park that was built from scratch, in a desert landscape? Motiongate is the main gate on offer, but don't underestimate its direct surroundings, with the fascinating Riverland at the core of the resort.
