Oman at Expo 2020 Dubai: How Does the Site Look?

The design reflects centuries of Oman's progress and footprint on the international trade

Construction has commenced on Oman's nature-inspired pavilion for Expo 2020, with the design unveiled by the Sultanate's Ministry of Trade and Industry on Twitter.

Located within the 438-hectare site's Mobility District, the pavilion pays tribute to frankincense trees. Producing the aromatic resin that is popularly used in incense and Arabic perfumes, frankincense has played a significant role in Oman's development which can be traced back to ancient times.

Oman's Expo 2020 pavilion follows the theme "Opportunities over time" and the site's project is headed by Adi Architecture.

Dubbed as Oman's "gift to the world", this precious resin inspired the exterior of the pavilion.

Within the site are five zones that will take visitors on an interactive, multimedia journey through the Sultanate's historical, cultural, and economic past, present, and future. Visitors can expect a showcase of how frankincense has greatly contributed to Oman beyond trade, as it is used in everything such as cosmetics and medicine.
