Dammam, 23 Rajab 1447 AH (12 January 2026)

Global Village Dammam is drawing remarkable numbers of visitors from inside and outside the Kingdom, passing the 250,000 mark in record time, with the figure expected to climb further amid rising ticket demand, reflecting the project's growing standing as one of the Eastern Province's foremost tourism and entertainment destinations.

Tickets are sold through the Webook platform, which has seen heavy demand exceeding 25,000 requests a day, a clear indicator of public interest and the appetite among residents and visitors of all nationalities for quality tourism and entertainment projects of this kind.

Over its opening days the Global Village has hosted a range of events, shows and programmes reflecting the cultures of nations, with the Saudi Orchestra performing alongside folklore and Saudi Ardah displays in the Saudi pavilion, in addition to numerous cultural and entertainment activities that drew wide engagement across the international pavilions.

The launch of Global Village Dammam marks a new phase of development in the Eastern Province and confirms its direction towards innovative projects that diversify the local economy and strengthen Dammam's position as a promising destination for tourism, entertainment and investment.

The project is a notable addition to the region's tourism, entertainment and investment portfolio and reflects the accelerating pace of urban and investment development under Vision 2030, which seeks to enhance quality of life, diversify entertainment and cultural options for residents and visitors, and raise the profile of the region's cities locally, regionally and globally.

It also stands as a prominent model of foreign investment in entertainment, tourism, culture and marine activities, offering an integrated cultural experience that combines entertainment with an introduction to multiple cultures in one location, in line with the national drive to promote cultural exchange and create world-class entertainment destinations within the Kingdom's cities.

Global Village Dammam sits in a vibrant urban area of the city on a total site exceeding 650,000 square metres. The first phase, now open, covers around 250,000 square metres and features pavilions representing 16 countries and cultures, supporting tourism and economic activity around the project.
