These characters represent everything that Global Village\u00a0is about so it\u2019s very fitting that they have decided to make Global Village their permanent home. We, like they, have an innate curiosity about the many wonders of our world and love to share these discoveries with our guests here in Dubai. Waleef is also keen to raise awareness about the plight of his Arabian Wolf cousins, now extinct in the UAE and an endangered species across the region\u201d<\/p>\n<p>To commemorate their arrival the new fountain in Fireworks avenue is now home to 3 magnificent golden statues of The Wonderers. Guests can also watch the original Wonders of Waleefanimated pilot episode on the Global Village YouTube channel, website, app or at the Kids Theatre most nights of the season. The introduction of Augmented Reality (AR) on the both the app and the mobile website also allows guests to experience these incredible characters in the comfort of their own home or better yet for a particularly fun photo opp at the Park.<\/p>\n<p>For more information about The Wonderers, their stories and their origins, please visit:<a href=\"http:\/\/www.globalvillage.ae\/wonderers\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">www.globalvillage.ae\/wonderers<\/a><\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-large wp-image-43409\" src=\"https:\/\/blog.dubaicityguide.com\/site\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/10\/Legend-of-Staff-@-Global-Village-S26-6-1024x682.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"750\" height=\"500\" srcset=\"https:\/\/blog.dubaicityguide.com\/site\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/10\/Legend-of-Staff-@-Global-Village-S26-6-1024x682.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/blog.dubaicityguide.com\/site\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/10\/Legend-of-Staff-@-Global-Village-S26-6-300x200.jpg 300w, https:\/\/blog.dubaicityguide.com\/site\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/10\/Legend-of-Staff-@-Global-Village-S26-6-768x512.jpg 768w, https:\/\/blog.dubaicityguide.com\/site\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/10\/Legend-of-Staff-@-Global-Village-S26-6-732x488.jpg 732w, https:\/\/blog.dubaicityguide.com\/site\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/10\/Legend-of-Staff-@-Global-Village-S26-6-1140x760.jpg 1140w, https:\/\/blog.dubaicityguide.com\/site\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/10\/Legend-of-Staff-@-Global-Village-S26-6.jpg 1858w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 750px) 100vw, 750px\" \/> <img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-43410\" src=\"https:\/\/blog.dubaicityguide.com\/site\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/10\/Legend-of-Staff-@-Global-Village-S26-3.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"640\" height=\"428\" srcset=\"https:\/\/blog.dubaicityguide.com\/site\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/10\/Legend-of-Staff-@-Global-Village-S26-3.jpg 640w, https:\/\/blog.dubaicityguide.com\/site\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/10\/Legend-of-Staff-@-Global-Village-S26-3-300x201.jpg 300w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 640px) 100vw, 640px\" \/><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Global Village, the UAE and wider region\u2019s leading multicultural family destination for culture, shopping, and entertainment, welcomed some new members of the family during the Season 26opening event on October 29.
