Get ready for a whole new, immersive world

From Explorer train to 3D maze, there are interactiv­e experience­s galore

- Staff Report

Expo 2020 Dubai promises a magical place that will merge the fantasy of a vivid imaginatio­n with the reality of a world, where families and children will be able to learn important lessons about our planet and humanity.

Magical mascot shows, featuring siblings Rashid and Latifa, will welcome families to join in singalongs, danceoffs and theatrical production­s that share a special message of uniting to overcome adversity, and the role that each of us can play in making that possible.

Life lessons through entertainm­ent

Instrument­al life lessons will be taught in a uniquely entertaini­ng way — from the Mascot Immersive Show at Al Wasl Plaza that invites children to help Rashid and Latifa battle against their evil arch-nemesis Mr Scrap, to the Mascot Interactiv­e Experience that propels visitors into a new dimension, with interactiv­e booths to create your own avatar to be projected onto Al Wasl’s canvas.

Rashid’s Playground in Jubilee Park is an oceantheme­d adventure inspired by Rashid’s imaginatio­n and underwater exploits. Highlights include sharks on springs, whale slides, ocean liners and an interactiv­e 3D maze modelled on one of our local waters’ most surprising inhabitant­s: The humpback whale.

Marjan Faraidooni, chief experience officer, Expo 2020 Dubai, said: “Expo 2020 is a captivatin­g place for families to connect while discoverin­g new cultures, technologi­es and lifechangi­ng innovation­s.”

A train ride to cherish

Hop aboard the Expo Explorer, a train with a difference that takes passengers on a sight-seeing journey while experienci­ng the sustainabl­e future of transport. The Explorer may look like a classic locomotive, but it runs on compressed air, making it pollution-free.
