The Israel Pavilion reflects the region’s spirit of openness with an architectural design that features no walls or borders. Day and night, the pavilion dazzles with its seven towering “Gates to the Future”, which feature dynamic floor-to-ceiling LED screens. From the wide entryway, you’ll climb an imaginative desert slope – symbolising the landscape that Israel and the Arabian Gulf region share – on your way to a wealth of experiences. Put on a pair of virtual reality (VR) goggles for a camera tour, catch the immersive “Let’s Connect” audio-visual show and don’t forget to snap a picture in the augmented reality-enhanced photo zone.
