The cause for the blaze is not yet known.

Global Village is currently closed to visitors. The last season ended on April 7.

In December last year, a small fire broke out in front of the Yemeni pavilion in Global Village.

The blaze was put out by Dubai Civil Defence with no casualties reported. Two pavilions adjacent to the site of the fire were evacuated to ensure the safety of visitors.
