Sheikh Mohammed bin Rashid Introduces Expo City Dubai

Sheikh Mohammed bin Rashid, Vice President, Prime Minister and Ruler of Dubai, said on Monday that the Expo 2020 site will be transformed into Expo City Dubai and will soon welcome thousands of new residents and businesses.

“After the historical success of Expo 2020 Dubai, visited by more than 24 million visitors, left a mark in the 170-year history of world expositions, today we announce the transformation of the exhibition site into Expo City Dubai, a new city that represents the ambitions of Dubai,”  Sheikh Mohammed twitted.

Expo City Dubai will become a "hub of economic activity" and home to major companies and their headquarters.

Information on the cost of admission to the pavilions will be available soon, but entry and exploring the city will be free.

The city will focus on technology and environment. It will be served by the nearby Dubai World Central airport and the metro leading into the city centre.

Important buildings and some of the most popular attractions of Expo 2020 Dubai, such as Al Wasl Plaza, the Garden in the Sky observation tower and the Surreal water feature, will remain.

The city will open in stages from October.
