Expo 2020 Dubai has begun its countdown, with the event set to take place in the United Arab Emirates in October under the theme "Connecting Minds, Creating the Future." Egypt is gearing up to be a major participant in the expo. The show was supposed to take place in October 2020, however it was delayed owing to the pandemic Corona Virus.

The exhibition will be divided into three areas, namely opportunity to unleash the future potential of individuals and companies, mobility that will make people, goods and ideas more effective and sustainable, meaning that the world is respected and a healthy, cleaner future for everyone.

The Egyptian Minister of Tourism and Antiquities, Khaled El-Anany, has invited the Tourism Board of Director to exploit Expo 2020 in Dubai to promote Egyptian tourism, to participate in the 6-month exposure, where it plans to present itself as an investment destination and to include artefacts from ancient Egypt in its digital display system.

During his recent visit to the United Arab Emirates, Anani said that he was visiting the exhibition site and inspecting the Egyptian pavilion. The exhibit was devoted to raising awareness of Egyptian tourism sights and monuments in large part. In Forsaken, the main area in the Expo Dubai, next to the Emirates Pavilion, you will find the pavilion of Egypt which participates in the exhibition.

The aim of Egypt's participation in this event is to develop initiatives which serve every aspect of life, to achieve the concept of integration with the world towards a better future.
