As the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia opens itself to the world, its contribution to Expo 2020 mirrors the nation’s grand ambitions. Boasting a vast façade that covers the area of two football pitches, the Saudi Arabia Pavilion takes the form of an opening window that soars into the sky bearing messages of inspiration.

Your Saudi experience begins in the open plaza under the pavilion, where the giant screen above and LEDs below combine to create a dazzling light show. Next, the “Heritage Path” escalator will transport you to immersive exhibits – and you can end your journey with refreshments and shopping in the pavilion’s scenic palm garden.

The monumental Kingdom of Saudi Arabia Pavilion is a mirrored slab that extends up diagonally from the ground, resembling a giant window opening toward the sky. The immense structure soars six storeys into the air and covers more than 13,000 square metres, or the area of two football pitches. The sides of the pavilion feature a decorative motif of grey horizontal lines like layered metal, while its vast underbelly — which shades an enormous plaza — is mirrored and smooth.

Along the way, you can enjoy the rhythms of Grenadian calypso and soca music, and learn about the island’s relaxed lifestyle and welcoming culture.

The Poland Pavilion at Expo 2020 is an elegant homage to the country’s ecological wonders, with a special focus on its treasured native birds.

The forests, rivers and lakes of Poland are the breeding grounds for 25 per cent of Europe’s migratory birds, and you’ll see these fine feathered friends honoured in grand style with the pavilion’s impressive centrepiece: a kinetic sculpture suspended in the air, featuring thousands of fluttering “birds”. Fly on in for a wealth of imaginative exhibits, from immersive virtual-reality experiences to a unique “Polish Table” art installation, complete with interactive light projections.

The Poland Pavilion is a three-level modular wooden structure that expands upwards, surrounded by flocks of white kinetic bird sculptures inspired by the country’s treasured winged residents. Vertical slats of exposed timber form the exterior surfaces of the main building, which resembles a stack of shipping containers arranged into an upside-down pyramid.
