EXPO 2020 DUBAI

 

 EXPO 2020 DUBAI

During my visit to Dubai in the month of March-April 2022, I got an opportunity to visit Expo 2020. The Worldclass mega exhibition with the participation of 192 countries and over 23 million visitors concluded on the 31st of March 2022. Business and Educational institutions also participated in this exhibition. Expo 2020 ran for six months from 1st October 2021 to 31st March 2022 

Terra, the Sustainability pavilion remained the the  center of attraction however the Mobility Pavilion was also very popular during these 182 days spectacular show. Sunreal" waterfall was also one of the biggest attractions of Expo 2020. It was a pleasant surprise to see the team of 150 plus robots that moved around the site interacting with the visitors. Facilities of People Mover, Expo Explorer, Bicycle, Expo Buggy, Strollers and Wheelchair were available all-around Expo. During the exhibition, visitors got an opportunity to observe the heritage, culture. cuisines and the technological progress made by the participating countries. Huge crowd was seen at the entrance gate of the pavilions of Saudi Arabia, Germany, U.A.E., India, Netherland, Singapore and Japan. The Singapore pavilion was like a rainforest in the desert. The Expo passport issued on demand was a unique feature in this exhibition.

The grand closing ceremony included the world-class entertainment and dazzling fireworks. During this ceremony, the Expo flag was also handed over to Japan, which will host the next world fair in Osaka in 2025. The oldest Expo visitor, a lady aged about 98 years has commented that ' I have seen things here that I will remember for the rest of my life", Expo built structures and buildings will find new life in the future city of District 2020.
