Dubai residents and international visitors can ‘travel’ around the world at Expo 2020 Dubai, celebrating their global journey with a special passport as they explore the 200-plus participating pavilions.
The passport encourages visitors to see as many pavilions as possible during the 182-day event. With the help of the passport, visitors will be able to relive the memories of their experiences after they visit.
The passport was introduced at the 1967 World Expo in Montreal and it has become one of the of the most popular Expo souvenirs for visitors who want to keep track of all the different international pavilions they visit, collecting pavilion stamps as a memento ever since then.
The Expo 2020 version is inspired by the UAE’s heritage, linking the past with the present. The 50-page booklet is shaped like an official passport and contains designs and pictures of the three Thematic Pavilions (Mission Possible – The Opportunity Pavilion, Alif – The Mobility Pavilion, and Terra – The Sustainability Pavilion), as well as Al Wasl Plaza – the crown jewel of the Expo site – plus other Dubai landmarks, such as the city’s iconic skyline, and other elements relating to the UAE.
The yellow, customizable passport also comes with its own enhanced security features – a unique number, an area to include a passport-sized photo, personal details, and hidden watermarked images on each of its pages, ensuring that no two documents are alike.
As the UAE is celebrating its Golden Jubilee year, the passport has a special page stamped in gold foil, and a photograph dating from 1971 celebrating the birth of the nation and paying homage to the nation’s Founding Father – His Highness Sheikh Zayed bin Sultan Al Nahyan. On 2 December, visitors to Expo will also receive an exclusive stamp in commemoration of the UAE’s 50th Anniversary.
Priced at AED 20, the Expo 2020 Dubai passport is available for purchase from all official Expo 2020 Dubai stores located across the Expo site, the Expo 2020 Dubai store located in Dubai Airports’ Terminal 3 and expo2020dubai.com/onlinestore.
