Guided by the three themes of Expo 2020 Dubai: Mobility, Opportunity and Sustainability, the Emirates Pavilion was designed to reflect the dynamic lines of aircraft wings ready to take flight. The 26 slanted architectural fins that cover the entirety of the pavilion will hold over 800 metres of LED lights to create multi-sensory effects and movement across the structure, showcased by light shows during every night of Expo.

Located near the UAE Pavilion and within walking distance of the Al Wasl Pavilion, the Emirates Pavilion will offer a glimpse into the changing world of commercial aviation. The interior of the Emirates Pavilion includes an enclosed floor plan which allows natural daylight to enter the space, reducing energy consumption.

The second floor of the Emirates Pavilion will house an auditorium for speaker sessions and industry events, and the third storey houses a dedicated sky garden for visitors to enjoy the natural surroundings and green, open spaces. The futuristic view of commercial aviation is covered through topics that include the science of flight, advancements in engine technologies, new aerospace materials that increase performance and reduce fuel consumption, innovative fuselage interiors focused on elevating passenger comfort and well-being, and the future of the passenger experience at airports.
