Saudi Arabia completes pavilion construction at Expo 2020 Dubai

WAM

Construction work has been completed on the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia's pavilion at Expo 2020 Dubai.

The six-storey structure is second in size only to that of the UAE pavilion. It spans an area of 13,069 sqm – equivalent to two football pitches.

The pavilion will celebrate Saudi Arabia's experience in blending its rich traditions with its limitless aspirations for a bright future.

Aligned with global sustainability norms, the eco-friendly building features 650 solar panels sourced from Saudi entrepreneurs and manufactured in the Kingdom.

A special water feature installation is set to be the pavilion's prime attraction alongside a 1,320 sqm inclined mirror screen and unique art showcases attributed to Saudi artists.

An art installation embedded with 2,030 crystals, to represent the Saudi Vision 2030, is also expected to be a big draw.
