WAM

The UAE pavilion has welcomed five million visitors during its six-month participation in Expo 2025 Osaka, Kansai, marking another key milestone in its journey as one of the most visited pavilions at the Expo.

Since April 13, the pavilion has welcomed 4,930,645 million in-person visitors, 113,443 online visitors, and more than 17,000 virtual attendees via the Expo platform, reflecting its strong public engagement in Japan and worldwide.

With the theme “Earth to Ether”, the UAE offered a distinctive architectural design and interactive experience inspired by the date palm.

The pavilion also received a Bronze Award from the Bureau International des Expositions (BIE) for Architectural and Landscape Design in the self-built pavilions, positioning it among the top three large pavilions at Osaka. 

The closure marks another chapter in the UAE's enduring Expo legacy, from its first participation in Expo 1970 Osaka to hosting Expo 2020 Dubai, and its return to Osaka in 2025.
