Experience Yemeni culture at Global Village

Experience the sights, sounds and smells of Yemen, with interesting tidbits about the country from local vendors at Global Village this year. The Yemen Pavilion at the family entertainment destination has become the main attraction for visitors wanting to experience tradition and hospitality.

Cultural Khanjars Visitors can pick up a traditional Yemeni Jambiya, a curved knife being sold at the pavilion. The knives in bejeweled scabbards can be found in several stalls along with a wide selection of Yemen’s national dress.

Large Variety of Honey Take the help of vendors who have a vast knowledge of different types of honey before picking up a pot. Customers can enquire about the impact of weather and the type of flowers used by the bees to produce the honey. Nuts and seeds are added to some variety’s for added nutritional benefits, while others have honeycomb to create different textures.

Spice Up Your Life The Burj Khalifa made out of spices being sold at the pavilion is unmissable. The Yemen pavilion sells high quality spices and herbs including dried onion, fennel, cumin and frankincense, a favourite with chefs. Vendors can also help visitors choose from 80 all-natural oils that help treat ailments affecting the skin, hair and digestive system.

Antique Jewellery Jewellery decorated with precious stones and pearls are aplenty at this pavilion. Many rings and necklaces have Yemeni produced Agate stones and Onyx set in them.
