Additionally, a special stamp bearing the Global Village logo will be applied to passports of visitors arriving in the country, celebrating the 30th anniversary of the Global Village.

This announcement came during a meeting between His Excellency Major General Mohammed Ahmed Al Marri, Director General of the General Directorate of Residency and Foreigners Affairs in Dubai, and Zeina Dagher, Senior Vice President of Operations at Dubai Holding Entertainment – Global Village, along with Sarah Al Muhairi, Director of Marketing and Events.
