Expo 2020, World's Fair in the United Arab Emirates
Expo 2020 was a global fair held in Dubai that centered on innovation, collaboration, and sustainable development. The grounds featured hundreds of country pavilions and thematic zones with exhibitions, restaurants, and entertainment for all ages.
The event was originally scheduled for 2020 but was postponed one year to 2021 when the COVID-19 pandemic disrupted plans. This was Dubai's first time hosting a World's Fair since its bid was accepted in 2013.
The fairgrounds brought together people from across the globe who shared their traditions and innovations. Visitors could encounter representatives from many nations presenting their countries through pavilions and performances.
The grounds were accessible by public transport and walkways, with clear signage at main gates. It was wise to wear comfortable shoes and explore early in the day, as the site was quite large.
The Al Wasl Plaza was the heart of the grounds with a striking dome that showed 360-degree projections throughout the day. This installation was one of the world's largest projection systems and drew crowds daily who watched the visual displays.
