In exactly 365 days, the UAE will dazzle the world with Expo 2020 Dubai that begins on October 1, 2021. New photos released on Wednesday show the advanced state of readiness at the expo site near Al Maktoum International Airport in Dubai South.
“Our leadership has spared no effort, guided us, and provided all resources to ensure that our World Expo will be a true expression of the UAE’s values."
“Our World Expo has a mission to inspire hope. We hope that people will join us to achieve our objectives to bring the world together and put humanity and the planet on the right path towards dignity for all.
“As we mark a year to go until we open, I want to thank all those who work so hard and so passionately to deliver an exceptional Expo. The journey has been worth it, and in 365 days we will share our excitement and our passion with millions.”
More than 210 million work hours have been completed to date. Work in 2020 has focused on landscaping and fit-out of Expo-owned buildings, with the construction of country pavilions to be finalised by the end of the year.
