The grand world fair, Expo 2020 has been a tremendous success over the past 6 months, with exciting live events, entertainment experiences, innovative business partnerships and an array of government initiatives. Today, on 31 March 2020, you can say goodbye to the groundbreaking event at the spectacular closing ceremony. Below is a short guide of everything you need to know.

First of all, in order to get to the Expo 2020 site, you can book a taxi via the Uber, Careem or S’hail apps. In particular, Careem has a Hala Taxi option, which is the most affordable taxi in Dubai. You can also consider riding the metro, where the Red Line will take you straight to the Expo 2020 Metro Station or you can use the Park & Ride service from Jebel Ali Metro Station. In order to encourage more people to visit the site, the event organizers also launched the Expo Rider buses, which are free of charge. The only thing you have to do is to show a valid Expo 2020 ticket when boarding. It is recommended that you take a picture of the drop-off location, as you have to take the return journey from the same gate.

There is an expansive range of fantastic events to look forward to today, including an Air Show by the UAE Force at 4pm-4.30pm and grand firework displays at 6.45pm-7pm which will be visible across the entire Expo 2020 site. Meanwhile, the closing ceremony will start at 7pm and finish at 8pm in the Al Wasl Plaza – the stunning centerpiece of the world fair. It will also be possible to watch the closing ceremony on 20 giant screens across the site. The guest list at the Al Wasl Dome is restricted to VIP guests and school children aged 7-9 only. Those who want to watch the ceremony remotely, can do so in Virtual Expo and Expo TV.

The final event will start with Mira Singh, the same girl who was also present at the opening ceremony. She will showcase how she has grown, learned and connected with people from across the globe over the past 6 months. There will also be a segment named the Sea of Nations, where 192 countries-participants will be waving their flags. Other highly-anticipated performances include:

Additionally, you will be able to enjoy extravaganzas by Dj Flippside, Imago, DJ Zaino, Moonstar88, DJ Bliss and many more. The final farewell will take place at 2am-3am across the Mobility Gate, Sustainability Gate, Opportunity Gate and Metro Gate. Here is where you will receive a final farewell from the Expo staff, volunteers, cleaners, police and performers. In total, the cast of the closing ceremony includes over 400 professionals and volunteers from 56 different countries, with 745 costumes created for the culmination of Expo 2020 Dubai.
