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.
