Open October to April on a 1.6 million square metre site in Dubailand. Each season draws 7–8 million visitors through a collection of country pavilions — 90+ nations represented, each selling products, food, and cultural items from home. Pakistan pavilion, India, China, Morocco, Brazil, each with its own crowd and its own cooking.

The food is the reason to go: street food from countries Dubai cannot otherwise easily serve, at prices that reflect the context rather than the real estate. Go on a weeknight; go hungry; wear flat shoes. The fairground rides are standard; the people-watching is not.
