Dubai’s Global Village will be closed today, Wednesday, January 25, at 8 pm due to adverse weather conditions.
The decision was taken in consultation with the authorities.
“This decision means tonight’s planned performance of Mahmoud El Esseily is cancelled. While we share their disappointment, the comfort and well-being of our guests is our key priority,” Global Village said in a statement.
“We thank everyone for their cooperation and understanding,” said the statement.
