Dubai Expo 2020 is the first of its type to be hosted in an Arab country, and will take place in the United Arab Emirates from October 1, 2021, to March 31, 2022.

The three main themes of Dubai Expo 2020 are :

  • MOBILITY is a term that refers to innovative logistics, transportation, and communication systems for people, products, and ideas.
  • SUSTAINABILITY - environmental, energy, and water resources are accessible and resilient.

For six months, Dubai will be transformed into a global showcase, with participating nations showcasing their finest ideas, projects, examples, and creative models in the realm of tangible and intangible infrastructures, with an emphasis on the Universal Exhibition's themes.

According to estimates, more than 400,000 people visited Expo 2020 Dubai in the first ten days.

A total of 411,768 ticketed visits were registered between October 1 and 10, with one in every five people visiting the facility in Dubai South more than once.

In its first week, the world's fair, which covers more than four square kilometers, welcomed 175 countries.

“These figures include all physical ticket holders but excludes representatives, delegations, guests from international participants as well Expo staff.
“Multi-day and season passes have proved popular with visitors and one in five people have already visited more than once, which is fantastic.”

The opening ceremony of the world's fair was broadcast live on the Virtual Expo platform to an estimated three million people.

53,000 people poured through the gates of the world's fair on the first day, and throughout the course of the week, it has welcomed over 175 different nations.

Ms McGeachin said Expo has had a “further five million visits” on its virtual platform in the first 10 days.

While students and staff from several public and government schools in the UAE attended the site during the opening week, Ms McGeachin said Expo has decided to postpone school visits for a few weeks until the heat drops.
