Open throughout the weekend from 4 pm to 10 pm at The Pointe’s entrance, just under the Monorail station, it’s the perfect destination to experience the real Korea.

“The Pointe continues to celebrate a wealth of countries, cultures and musical talents through world-class shows and events, and we are delighted to add Korea and its music, food and traditions to our line-up of attractions for the outdoor entertainment season.”
Ms. Hyunsun Hong, Regional Director at Korea Tourism Organisation, said:
“As travellers are unable to visit Korea at the moment, we are bringing Korea to Dubai by creating the Korea village featuring great activities and performances. Through this unique concept, we encourage residents to explore tourism in South Korea and visit the Korean Pavilion at Expo 2020 Dubai, too. We want to give UAE residents a taste of everything they could enjoy in Korea and hope to welcome them to our country soon.”
