EXPO HIGHLIGHTS
AL WASL
Al Wasl (‘the connection’), located at the centre of Expo where all three districts meet, is described as “the beating heart” of the event. If you are travelling by Dubai Metro Route 2020, you arrive at 2020 Plaza, which leads to Al Wasl Avenue ( home to Rove Expo 2020 hotel and the Emirates NBD Bank of the Future) and into Al Wasl Plaza, where the magnificent Al Wasl dome awaits. One of Expo’s most striking landmarks, the trellised dome is a sunshield by day – it’s up to nine degrees Celsius cooler under its canopy – and one of the world’s largest 360-degree projection screens by night, courtesy of 250 state-ofthe-art projectors. Al Wasl shows are unforgettable immersive experiences screened daily, with incredible visual and sensory displays ranging from Isha prayer to unique storytelling.
Don’t miss… The Beacons of Al Wasl
These 42 striking one-diameter bronze medallions, created by artists from around the world, are arranged in a ring around Al Wasl Plaza, shedding light on some of the UAE’s most poignant moments
Stage of Nations
Located under the dome, the stage hosts performances including the National Day Ceremonies of participating countries.
