Land of opportunities and prosperity

Under the main theme ‘Connecting Minds, Creating the Future’, the expo is divided into three sub-themes, Sustainability, Mobility, and Opportunity. Egypt’s pavilion is located in the Opportunity district.

Discover the story of Egyptians and their past/present achievements. Embark on a new era of opportunities and celebrate a vision of a prosperous future for tourism, infrastructure, education and more. The Egypt pavilion is located in the Opportunity District of Expo 2020.

Three main highlights of the Egypt Pavilion are:
1) High-end digital journey with the virtual tour guide Ayda
2) original antique Pharaoh statues
3) A 3D experience to travel through a time machine

All in all this pavilion reflects Egypt’s great civilisation, its blooming present, and its promising future.

Located just a few meters across from the UAE pavilion, with hieroglyphic letters inscribed on its walls, stands the three-storey Egypt pavilion at Expo 2020 Dubai. Under the theme ‘Legacy Empowering the Future’, the 3,000 square meter pavilion represents Egypt as the land of rich history and unmissable investment opportunities.

The pavilion reflects the image of Egypt, which amalgamates the authenticity of the past, the achievement of the present and the vision of the future. The pavilion positions Egypt as a land full of opportunities and also as one of the most important global tourists and archaeological destinations. 

The Egypt Pavilion is built on 4 levels and a total height of 19m. It consists of a steel structure and a compound of GRC finished along with the Hieroglyphic letters in additional Glass facade and dynamic light to give the effect of the ancient Pharaoh civilization.

Upon entering the pavilion’s main entrance, one is greeted by a real ancient Egyptian coffin which belongs to the ancient Egyptian priest Psamtik, son of Pediosir, recently discovered in Egypt’s Saqqara. The colored wooden coffin was flown from Egypt and is currently displayed at the pavilion in Dubai for the very first time.

The pavilion features a modern replica of King Tutankhamun’s golden mask, as well as other modern replicas of the king’s belongings and artifacts. Moreover, a temple wall of screens showcases some of Egypt’s major projects completed in the last few years, such as the Grand Egyptian Museum, the Suez Canal Economic Zone, The Robbiki City, among others.
