WhatsOn - 27 September. 2022

The moment you’ve been waiting for is finally here…

It’s hard to believe, but it’s been six months since we said farewell to Expo 2020 Dubai on March 31, 2022. The world’s greatest show is greatly missed, but in June, His Highness Sheikh Mohammed bin Rashid Al Maktoum, Vice President and Prime Minister of the UAE and Ruler of Dubai announced some good news – the opening of Expo City Dubai.

Packed with top attractions from Expo 2020 Dubai, Expo City Dubai opened for a preview to visitors on September 1 but there will be a grand reopening with more attractions opening on October 1.

Here are the popular attractions you can re-visit when it opens

Al Wasl Plaza, the beating heart of Expo 2020 Dubai returns when the giant iconic chainlink gates open on October 1. During Expo 2020 Dubai, the Al Wasl Plaza was the main stage for big performances from the opening and closing ceremony to British music group Coldplay. When no performances took place, the dome displayed mesmerising light shows that always attracted the crowds.

The Woman Pavilion will also reopen to visitors where you can immerse yourself in the triumphs of women through history and dive into the stories of the inspirational women shaping our future.

Another pavilion that will open to visitors is the Vision Pavilion. The pavilion celebrates the insight, values and leadership of His Highness Sheikh Mohammed bin Rashid Al Maktoum, Vice President and Prime Minister of the UAE and Ruler of Dubai. Expect personal stories, a story of childhood wonder and how our environment and values can support our ambition and shape our future.

Tickets for this pavilion are Dhs50 per person and free for children under the age of 12.
