    In Pictures: Expo 2020 Dubai site tour

    Be one of the first to get a look behind the scenes at the 4.38 sq km site

    Al Wasl Plaza dome
    Al Wasl Plaza dome is the heart of the Expo 2020 site. It is large enough to fit two airbuses A380’s inside. It is set to be one of Dubai’s most iconic buildings. After the Expo2020 the building will serve as a future hub for major UAE events. The Al Wasl Plaza will include many restaurants, fountains, and parks inside and will be covered by a translucent 67-meter-tall domed trellis of 130 meters in diameter. The trellis also serve as a 360-degree projection surface visible to visitors inside and outside. Image Credit: Yousra Zaki/Gulf News

    Expo 2020 inside look
    Just off in the distance here is the Sustainability Pavilion. It will be completed by the end of this year and will start getting fitted out for pavilions throughout the start of 2020. This pavilion’s name is Terra and it will be home to an indoor forest. The goal with this pavilion is to remind people that it's not too late for us to save the world.

    Expo 2020 inside look
    If you look closely, you will notice that the UAE Pavilion is shaped like a falcon in flight. It will be a major attraction at Expo 2020 Dubai. The pavilion will tell the history of the nation as a connected global hub, and the vision of its leaders to create a peaceful and progressive society. We were also told that the falcon wings will move together in unison, to mimic the wings of a falcon flapping. Image Credit: Anjana Kumar/Gulf News

    Not a very exciting picture, but this is a very important landscape. These are just a few hundred parking spots out of the 44,000 that Expo 2020 will provide to visitors. Image Credit: Yousra Zaki/Gulf News
