Join us in celebrating Egypt's National Day at Expo 2020

Egypt

Egypt is a land where ancient treasures and modern innovations live side-by-side: monumental pyramids and soaring skyscrapers, hieroglyphics and high-definition screens. At the Egypt Pavilion, you can explore this link between past riches and future opportunities, across four floors of innovative attractions.

Inside the pavilion, virtual guide Ayda will lead you on a multisensory journey through Egypt’s natural and urban worlds, complete with an immersive 3D time machine experience. Don’t miss the digital tours of the vast new Grand Egyptian Museum in Giza, home to a dazzling array of prized pharaonic relics.


Blending architectural elements from the ancient and modern worlds, the Egypt pavilion is a 19-metre-tall structure that looks as though it has been carved from warm grey stone. The pavilion’s imposing rectangular shape recalls the tombs of the great pharaohs, while a large dynamic light display on one side hints at Egypt's future.

From the 18th-century writers of the Declaration of Independence to the creators of today’s smartphones and social-media networks, innovation and love of liberty have always been at the very core of America’s identity. The USA Pavilion at Expo 2020 celebrates these twin national pillars with an immersive exploration of the past and future of the American spirit.

Hop on board a moving walkway and see the sights across several large exhibit areas. Attractions include dynamic digital presentations on America’s history of innovation, a fun ceiling-displayed science narrative, an enormous replica space rocket and much more.

The United States Pavilion centres on a broad façade decorated with a modular pattern of large white metal stars, evoking the American flag. A screen of lofty vertical metal slats stands perpendicular to the left edge of the structure, bordering a walkway that leads guests inside, while a wide roof screen overhangs the full length of the façade, providing shade.

Newgrange monument in Ireland is a staggering feat of Stone Age engineering, allowing sunlight into its inner chamber only once each year: at sunrise on the winter solstice. The Ireland Pavilion highlights more than 5,000 years of Irish heritage and know-how with a design inspired by this cultural treasure. Curated around the theme of “Thinking Ireland”, the pavilion’s exhibits trace the long lineage of Irish innovation, from ancient stone-working feats to modern-day advancements in science and technology. Don’t miss the exhibition’s innovative light-filtering cone, built in homage to its 5,200-year-old ancestor at Newgrange.

Ireland Flag

Blending neo-classical architecture with ancient themes, the Ireland Pavilion consists of two single-story buildings surrounded by a screen of white columns and topped by a massive ridged funnel structure. The bronze-coloured main building, called the Oculus, is rectangular in form and features inscribed Celtic designs.
