Dubai: UAE residents will once again be able to enjoy visiting the Expo City Dubai, with more pavilions opening over the weekend to visitors. From October 1, several pavilions will open up to the public, and here is a round-up of all the announcements that have been made that you need to know about.
When is Expo City Dubai reopening to public?
From September 1, visitors were given access to two pavilions on the Expo 2020 site – Alif, The Mobility Pavilion and Terra, The Sustainability Pavilion. They could also access the Garden in the Sky attraction, a rotating observation tower.
From October 1, the rest of the Expo 2020 Dubai site will open to visitors.
How can you visit it?
While access to the site is free, including ‘Surreal’ the cascading waterfall, and the Al Wasl Plaza, you would need to buy tickets to access the pavilions and attractions. These include:
