Millions of people will storm Dubai this week as the delayed Expo 2020, the world’s biggest event since the beginning of the pandemic, unveils its pavilions.

The expo site had been strictly off-limits during its delay, but the covers will come off at the expo’s opening ceremony on Thursday, set to be attended by Emirati royalty.

The exhibit is set to feature architectural marvels and technological innovations, and pavilions showcasing the ingenuity of more than 190 countries.

For the first time in the World Fairs’ history, almost all the countries of the African continent will be represented, both individually and through a pavilion dedicated to the African Union.

Morocco’s pavilion will be featured in the “opportunity” category.

“Morocco has a tradition of participation in these universal expositions dating back to 1867 in Paris, and since that time Morocco has participated in 20 universal expositions,” Nadia Fettah Alaoui, General Commissioner of the Moroccan Pavilion at the EXPO said.

During the six months of its exhibition, Morocco will be offering a cultural and artistic program that will include exhibitions, performances, shows, concerts, events, parades, through which it will promote the cultural diversity of all regions of the Kingdom.
