Saudi Arabia

Theme: Vitality of Life

The Saudi Arabia Pavilion features a huge hanging boat in the shape of a half-moon, with date palm trees planted on both the top deck of the boat and the ground garden. The pavilion shows how Saudi Arabia has created flourishing urban areas despite a harsh desert environment where fresh water is very rare. The main attraction of the pavilion is its massive IMAX screen; the screen is the largest of its kind in the world.

UAE

Theme: Power of Dreams

Inspired by the country's enormous deserts, the United Arab Emirates Pavilion resembles a golden sand dune. The pavilion's fa?ade is covered by gold-colored stainless steel. Its undulating roof looks as if it had been shaped by the wind and makes the pavilion shimmer and change colors. Inside the pavilion are cool brooks, thick patches of trees and elegantly designed buildings.
