Commenting on this latest award, Hussain Hanbazazah, Commissioner General of the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia Pavilion, said: “We are proud that the Saudi Arabia Pavilion is among Exhibitor Magazine’s World Expo Award winners. This latest title is added to our Pavilion’s roster of wins and confirms its status as one of the most innovative sites at Expo 2020 Dubai. The Saudi Pavilion is a unique architectural landmark, embodying a bold ambition to shape the world for the better. We dedicate this win to the visionary leadership and forward-looking people of Saudi Arabia, the two drivers behind our Pavilion’s success.”

Large visitor numbers reflect an immense interest to get to know authentic Saudi Arabia through the Pavilion journey. By 10 March, the Saudi Pavilion has welcomed its four millionth visit since the opening of Expo 2020 Dubai in October 2021. The major milestone strengthened its position as one of Expo’s most popular experiences, drawing approximately a quarter of all Expo visits.
