UAE Image Gallery

Open-heartedness and ambition are values captured by the UAE Pavilion, designed by renowned architect Santiago Calatrava. The remarkable building is reminiscent of a falcon in flight, inspired by our national bird. Once inside, go on a multisensory journey that chronicles the rise of a nation of “dreamers who do”. Traverse a dreamlike landscape filled with dunes of real sand to learn about our nation’s founding father Sheikh Zayed, the natural wonders of the Emirates and their rapid modernisation. Be inspired by stories of the UAE dreamers building an inclusive future as the desert sun filters through the pavilion’s oculus. 

The design of the UAE Pavilion evokes a falcon in flight; referencing the Emirates’ traditional art of falconry. The main building resembles a titanic oval, with a grand, four storey entrance set into the tip. More than 25 feather-like panels are arranged at the dome of the pavilion, each curving down toward the entry of the structure.

Not long ago, the majority of what is now modern Dubai was desert. Today, that land is home to a global capital of skyscrapers and world-class sustainable infrastructure. What caused this transformation? The powerful vision to see a thriving multicultural hub.

The Vision Pavilion at Expo 2020 celebrates the insight, values, and leadership of His Highness Sheikh Mohammed bin Rashid Al Maktoum, Vice President and Prime Minister of the UAE, and Ruler of Dubai. Across three galleries filled with captivating exhibits, the pavilion explores His Highness’s personal story and celebrates the Emirati people and culture of Dubai.


Vision

The Vision Pavilion’s dramatic exterior features a mosaic façade that displays an artistic decorative pattern of sandstone and panels of foamed and flat aluminium, reminiscent of the UAE coastline, as well as the intersection of desert, sea and creeks.

Diminutive Guinea-Bissau features an array of peoples, cultures, landscapes and wildlife packed into a single West African nation. Its pavilion skips from the protected nature preserve of its tropical Bijagos Islands, where sacred saltwater hippos and grey parrots thrive, to the dusty grandeur of Portuguese colonial-era buildings in friendly capital Bissau without missing a beat.

In Chinese culture, the lantern symbolises happiness and good fortune and now, the country is casting this favourable light over Expo 2020. The lantern-shaped China Pavilion offers an illuminating historical tour of Chinese innovation, including a monumental “moveable type” wall that transforms at night into a digital light display.

The pavilion showcases thousands of years of Chinese culture and technology. From ancient China’s invention of world-changing technologies such as the compass and gunpowder to the nation’s modern-day advancements in artificial intelligence, there’s no end of innovation here to explore.


China

The inspiration for the stately yet energetic China Pavilion takes the literal shape of a traditional Chinese lantern: a monumental central column of stacked square red blocks capped in gleaming gold, surrounded by an airy, curved outer wall patterned in a geometric Chinese window lattice motif.
