After the historical success of Expo 2020 Dubai, visited by more than 24 million visitors, the site will reopen to visitors, with several country pavilions remaining in place and a new museum due to open on October 1.
The Expo 2020 site will be transformed into "Expo City Dubai" and will soon welcome thousands of new residents and businesses, said Sheikh Mohammed bin Rashid, Vice President and Ruler of Dubai, on Monday.
"Today we announce the transformation of the exhibition site into Expo City Dubai, a new city that represents the ambitions of Dubai,” Sheikh Mohammed wrote.
With a focus on technology and the environment, Expo City Dubai will serve as a destination in its own right, served by the nearby Dubai World Central airport and the metro link to the city center.
Important buildings and some of the most popular attractions from Expo 2020 Dubai, including the Al Wasl Plaza, the Garden in the Sky observation tower, and the Surreal water feature, which ran from October last year until late March, will remain.
Reem Al Hashimy, Minister of State for International Co-operation and managing director of Expo 2020 Dubai, said the public would be soon able to relive their best memories of the world's fair.
"Expo City Dubai will continue to provide a model for innovative urban districts geared towards collaboration, knowledge sharing and talent creation for the benefit of future generations.
"It will leverage into extraordinary infrastructure advantages to generate local and global economic value as a clean and green tech hub. The city will be a "24-hour neighborhood" that will feature unique art and world-class architecture, she said.
Dubai’s Expo 2020, which had to be postponed for one year due to the coronavirus pandemic, was reportedly visited by more than 24 million visitors.
