As summer’s golden warmth comes to a close, the air in the UAE changes with a sensation of familiar expectation. Residents and tourists alike prepare to enjoy the fantastic cooler weather as well as the return of the UAE’s most famous outdoor experiences and attractions. Returning from their annual summer breaks, those iconic UAE attractions have been upgraded and are ready for another season of unforgettable experiences.
Time to put them on your calendar, as Dubai’s most spectacular venues are back!
Prepare for a world tour in one location! The world-famous Global Village will open the doors to its monumental 30th season on October 15, 2025. More than a shopping destination, it’s an outdoor cultural experience featuring 30 pavilions based on different countries. Last season, we delivered amazing improvements to our infrastructure, and this season will bring even more spectacular shows, unique products from around the world, and a delicious variety of foods that travels the globe to your taste buds.
The world’s largest choreographed fountain system is returning with an exciting new experience! The Dubai Fountain has been undergoing extensive renovations since April of this year and will re-open in October. This beloved landmark attraction, located at the base of Burj Khalifa and The Dubai Mall, is equipped with extensive improvements to the choreography, lighting, and sound systems. Once again you will be captivated by another mesmerising display of water, music, and light performing a stunning ballet in downtown Dubai!
Great news, animal lovers! The Dubai Safari Park will reopen its doors for the seventh season on October 14, 2025. It is a large sanctuary with over 3,000 animals from across the globe. Families love it because it is the perfect place to experience a variety of animal encounters in a family-friendly environment and enjoy magical wildlife up close within six areas of the park. The park will also offer special demonstrations and educational presentations this year, as well as returning to the very popular night safari experience! This is a completely different way to experience the magic of the animal kingdom.
Nature and flower lovers, busy your calendars! One of the biggest waiting games of all time will be finally reopening, the Dubai Miracle Garden. The world’s largest natural flower garden is fantastic when it is open from October to May, but just like every other year, it closes from May until September every year. Be amazed by the jaw-dropping sculptures and blooming colours of flowers this October. It is a whimsical and picture-perfect wonderland that provides an escape and beautiful pictures galore.
As cooler weather provides the pleasure of being outside, winter is an excellent season for adventure lovers to satisfy their craving for adrenaline. Dubai has two unique experiences for you to view a different side of its landscapes.
If you are looking for a truly magical experience, you must go hot air ballooning. This is the best season to drift above the vast desert of Dubai at sunrise. From high above, you are taken to a dramatically shaped athlete of an expansive golden landscape in the most gentle and majestic manner.
If you are looking for an extreme experience, then we are proud to offer one of your world-famous and unique experiences by way of skydiving in Dubai. Whether you marvel at the breathtaking views of the iconic Palm Jumeirah or the Dubai skyline, sitting high above in a bird’s eye view was truly spectacular in our world-famous drop zone. Get ready to experience the adrenaline of what is certainly a bucket list experience by jumping out of the aircraft.
If you wanted to experience the stunning views of The Palm Jumeirah but without jumping from an aeroplane, you can simply visit The Dubai Balloon at Atlantis. The balloon may be stationary, but the views of the palm and city skyline are nothing short of spectacular. In comparison to other balloon experiences, this balloon is unique for giving you 360-degree, overhead views of the surrounding area, and it’s magnificently safe.
