As Dubai gears up to host the much-anticipated Expo 2020, plans for the pavilions of the participating countries roll out. On Sunday, Saudi Arabia unveiled the design of its pavilion and it is said to cover an area the size of two football pitches.
Spanning 13,069sqm, the pavilion is set to be the second-largest structure at the event, second to the UAE pavilion. The structure has a façade that opens like a window, symbolizing Saudi Arabia’s “welcoming character, long heritage and unlimited drive,” according to a statement.
