Expo 2020 Dubai Welcomes Almost 4.8 Million Visitors

Visitor numbers to Expo 2020 Dubai have climbed to 4,766,419 through to 28 November, while virtual visits to the global showcase have reached 23.5M.

The numbers have been driven by music, sporting stars and continued strong take-up of the November weekday pass, according to organisers and they are expected to continue growing with the launch of the new Festive Pass for AED95, on sale through to the end of December.

Highlights for next month include the UAE’s Golden Jubilee celebrations, Christmas festivities and major stars live in concert, such as 15-time Grammy Award-winner Alicia Keys, performing at Al Wasl Plaza on 10 December 10.

With more than 90 per cent of the UAE population fully vaccinated, Expo 2020 Dubai has required mandatory vaccination of all Expo and International Participant staff, volunteers, contractors and service providers. Visitors ages 18 and above are required to present proof of any vaccination or a negative PCR test taken within the previous 72 hours.

In addition, Expo 2020 maintains on-site sanitisation stations and mandatory face-masks both indoor and outdoor. Expo 2020 Dubai, which opened its doors on 1 October, is scheduled to run through to 31 March next year.
