Sheikh Mohammed, Sheikh Hamdan hoist UAE flag at Expo 2020

UAE Flag Day falls on November 3, in conjunction with the anniversary of President His Highness Shaikh Khalifa Bin Zayed Al Nahyan’s assumption of office as the leader of the country. This year the celebration is even more significant given that the UAE is celebrating its 50th anniversary. The UAE flag was raised on December 2, 1971, for the first time by Sheikh Zayed Bin Sultan Al Nahyan to mark the country’s union. The flag consists of four colours — green, white, black and red — which together represent the unity of Arabs, it was designed by Abdullah Mohammad Al Maainah.

Expo 2020 Dubai Opening Ceremony

Long ago, travellers referred to Dubai as Al Wasl, or “the connection” – a name that reflects the area’s heritage as a meeting point. This spirit of coming together takes shape in Al Wasl Plaza, Expo 2020’s spectacular centrepiece and gathering ground for celebration and wonder. 

Situated at the meeting point of Expo’s three thematic districts, Al Wasl Plaza's dome is tall enough to fit the Leaning Tower of Pisa beneath it. By night, she transforms into a 360-degree projection screen, blanketed by more than 250 state-of-the-art projectors. Al Wasl Plaza is a hub for visitors and the vibrant heart of our Expo.

Sameem – Story of Our Culture

Sameem 3

Discover how the people of the UAE have always looked beyond the visible to see the future's potential. At the Sameem open-air pavilion, explore the distinct environments of the UAE: mountains, desert and coast through the resources that connect Emiratis to their land: water, palm and the sea. Converse with a potter or henna artist, then watch a boat-builder construct a dhow. Witness how the date palm tree has sheltered and fed generations of Emiratis, then learn how scientists today are studying their potential for planting on Mars. Through Sameem see how in the UAE, tradition is tied to the future.

Gallery 

The Sameem open-air pavilion takes the shape of a rough rectangle built from modular majlis (or sitting place) structures, covered in woven fabrics in geometric motifs. The center of the pavilion is open, and the plot is filled with palm trees as well native UAE greenery and shrubs. Through the pavilion, different areas evoke the mountains, desert and coast.
