Expo Dubai Pavilions

Expo City Dubai world in the UAE was held in 2020-2022. A rich collection of national pavilions was raised on the site that was determined at the general assembly of the International Exhibitions Bureau back in 2013. Due to the COVID-19 pandemic, the event dates were shifted from 2020-2021 to 2021-2022. Dozens of pavilions have been built on the huge territory allocated for Expo Dubai. All buildings are different from each other, designed to dedicate guests to the national traditions, culture of the represented countries. These are peculiar messages from different corners of the world.

Expo Dubai gathered 191 countries. For the first time it was possible to place separate pavilions in one place to demonstrate the achievements of science and technology in one place. Separate buildings for the participants were raised on a large territory, some of them represented the state in common premises. Guests are pleasantly surprised by the majestic and compact constructions of the participating countries:

1. Russia. Monumental and conspicuous structure attracts with its bright design and alternating colors. The pavilion is located in the thematic zone “Mobility”, where technical innovations and inventions of the future are demonstrated to the public. The appearance is presented in the form of multicolored threads (made of aluminum) without beginning and end. At night, when the backlighting is on, the building looks even more spectacular.
2. Italy. Attracts guests with a large-scale construction, which is framed by curtains of many ropes and topped with the hulls of huge boats to demonstrate a variety of materials.
3. Luxembourg. The tiny state has decorated the pavilion with a Moebius strip.
4. Spain. Representatives of the country decorated the building with a three-dimensional print of a forest.
5. Canada. Placed the exposition in a circular “theater” to demonstrate the country's natural diversity.
6. Angola. Represents not as large-scale a structure as the others, but spectacular. It is decorated with colorful panels in the spectacular style of Sona (representing the art of sand painting).
7. Afghanistan. The center showcases the country’s rich heritage: ceramics, calligraphy, jade and bronze. All collected by a private collector.
8. United Kingdom. The cone-shaped pavilion is framed with ribbons of laminated wood. The surface features poems created by artificial intelligence from the words spoken by Expo Dubai exhibitors.
9. UAE. The host country presented the most spectacular of all the pavilions. The architect was inspired by a falcon, so the building is made in the form of wings. They are made of modern material - fiberglass. It is not a static structure, but mobile. It turns and opens, demonstrating the Emirates' willingness to open up to the world.

Numerous reviews and photos attract attention. The recently raised facilities are worth a visit for free or for quite a reasonable price. Guests will be interested to know that the organizers worked on the reuse of construction waste that was generated after a large-scale construction project. The mixture used to pave the road included crumbs from used tires.

In March 2022, the Expo 2020 in Dubai concluded, but the story of this unique site continues under the new name - Expo City. This innovative city, focused on people and the environment, will embody the best traditions of the Expo. By using up to 80% of the already existing infrastructure, including buildings awarded LEED Gold and Platinum certifications, Expo City will set an example of an efficient and environmentally friendly future city.

This unique community will continue to build on Expo’s vision of becoming a true ecosystem to foster interaction, creativity and innovation. Expo City opens new opportunities for residents and visitors, providing comfort and collaborative development based on the most advanced technologies and sustainable solutions.

Expo is not just an exhibition, it is an opportunity to create a true marvel of architecture and intellect, and Expo City continues this great endeavor, becoming a new benchmark of modern urban solutions.

How to Get to Expo City

The location for the Dubai exhibition was chosen by the assembly. The site is situated away from the city center. There are several ways to get there from a hotel or another place.

Metro

One of the simplest and most affordable transportation options. Passengers need to get to the "Expo2020" station. The exit from the metro is located right at the entrance to the exhibition. There should be no difficulties in finding it. As for the cost, a ticket for one person is 5–7.5 dirhams. However, the traveler must be prepared that it will take him a long time to travel underground. And he will be accompanied by Palestinians and Indians in overcrowded carriages.

Taxi

The most expensive way to travel. Taxis are popular in the city, but the cost is quite high. The approximate price can be found in the Uber app. If someone decides to take a taxi to Expo Dubai, it's worth looking for a car directly on the street. Private taxi drivers charge lower rates than Uber, allowing you to save up to 20%.
