Expo City Dubai to reopen two pavilions in September

Ahead of its official opening in October, Expo City Dubai will allow guests to experience two of its most popular pavilions from September 1.

Organisers said the re-opening of Alif and Terra pavilions will "mark the first chapter of Expo City Dubai’s journey".

Tickets will be priced at AED 50 per person per pavilion and will be available online, or at the box offices at Expo City Dubai from September 1.

Garden in the Sky, with its breathtaking 360 degree views, will also open on September 1, with tickets priced at AED 30 for adults, and free of charge for People of Determination and children aged five and under.

Alif and Terra will be open daily from 10:00 am to 6:00 pm, while Garden in the Sky will open from 3:00 pm to 6:00 pm, extending to 10:00 am to 6:00 pm from September 16 onwards.

Other Expo 2020 Dubai favourites – including Al Wasl Plaza, the Surreal water feature, the Women’s Pavilion and the Vision Pavilion, as well as children’s playgrounds and the carousel – will open in October. 

Later this year, the Opportunity pavilion will become the Expo 2020 Dubai Museum – a new addition highlighting the history and impact of World Expos and celebrating the success of Expo 2020 Dubai.

Expo City Dubai is also looking forward to the return of UAE students, with the Expo School Programme preparing an array of immersive educational experiences, exhibits and interactive workshops, reflecting the themes of the pavilions.

Much of Expo City Dubai’s public realm will be open and is free to visit. Visitors can choose to walk, while buggies, the Expo Explorer, eScooters and eBikes are also available (paid services).

Expo City Dubai is easily accessed by metro, car and taxi. Parking, including dedicated parking for People of Determination, is available at Al Forsan, Jubilee, Mobility and Sustainability.
