DUBAI: Saudi Arabia’s state-of-the-art pavilion at Expo 2020 is among the dozens of eye-catching structures that opened to visitors earlier this month.  

The five-story pavilion features a number of record-breaking features, including a striking 32-metre digital water feature and the world’s largest digital mirror screen.

Designed by UK-based Boris Micka Associates, the pavilion spans an impressive 13,069 square meters and is the second largest pavilion in size at the Expo 2020 Dubai site.

Additionally, the country’s rich cultural traditions will also be highlighted throughout the event with a regular showcase of national cultural traditions.

The impressive pavilion will take visitors on a journey through the Kingdom’s rich past, vibrant present and promising future via a series of live performances, family shows and educational workshops.

One can’t-miss highlight is the Saudi Folklore Performance Group, which is putting on a diverse schedule of shows including traditional dances and songs that are typically performed during weddings, social gatherings and festivals.

Over the course of the six-month event, guests are invited to attend performances taking place daily in the open square of the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia’s pavilion, including the Saudi Ardah, Al-Liwa, Al-Azawi and Al-Khubaiti dances.

Guests are also invited to enjoy a memorable experience on multiple weekends throughout the event, with musical performances dedicated to showcasing the Kingdom’s distinctive style.

With various shows during the evening in the Saudi Pavilion’s Palm Garden, visitors can relax and enjoy a cup of Arabic coffee while taking in the Kingdom’s captivating musical melodies that are sure to entertain.
