Expo City Dubai, the re-imagination of the Expo 2020 Dubai venue, has welcomed visitors after its official opening, to create a new chapter in history, offering an emotional reunion with some of their favorite attractions to its guests. 

Apart from the Alif – The Mobility Pavilion and Terra – The Sustainability Pavilion, which were opened in September, the official opening will also see the reopening of The Vision Pavilion and the Women’s Pavilion.

Visitors can also buy tickets to the Garden in the Sky observation tower and enjoy free daily access to the Surreal water feature and Al Wasl Plaza.

The official opening ceremony began with close to 50 Expo City Dubai staff and their families opening the Sustainability Entry Portal at 9.00 AM, inviting the public and heralding the advent of a new era.

In the evening, at around 6.15 PM, Al Wasl reawakened in spectacular style, with a spellbinding light show to celebrate the collaborative, creative and optimistic spirit of this innovation-driven city of the future.
