2021/11/14 Dubai Expo 2020
π 2021-11-14 01:01 in Public, Uae2021
I had lots of things planned in Dubai, but with efficient sightseeing, got the important ones done in 2.5 days, so the last day I had most of it available to go see Dubai Expo 2020. Honestly I didn't even know it was going on, but clearly it was a big deal, only happens every 4 years, and I was right there, so I went to check it out :)




I went to the UAE pavillion which was hard to get into:



renewable energy was cool:


lots of solar panels
lots of solar panels







Some countries showed how they could help improve the word, others how cool they were, and others had just displays on future things they were hoping to do (i.e. vaporware ;) )






















Got to visit the Emirates (airline) pavillion, pretty cool:


virtual flight of the future
virtual flight of the future













China was supposed to have a drone show, but did not on sunday, the day I came, they had interesting displays, but also showed how much of a surveillance society they were (I'm sure it wasn't their intent, but I guess I can't even tell):






Things got nice a night:











I made it to France just before closing time (22:00 on sunday instead of 00:00)







yum
yum

and that was it, by 22:00 everything was closed. Spent about 10H there, and even with being efficient, definitely needed 3 days or more, but I feel I got a good overview. This was not what I was in Dubai for to start with, and spent more time there than any other place I had been to, so I think it was a reasonable tradeoff (actually that same day was also the start of dubai aviation expo, but I just couldn't be everywhere).
