Expo City Dubai welcomed its first visitors back to the landmark site on Thursday.
The area, which is planned to be an economic hub, a residential space and a global destination for events and exhibitions, had a soft launch on September 1 ahead of the official opening in a month, one year after Expo 2020 Dubai began.
Visitors keen to get back into the Expo spirit can again visit two of its most popular attractions: Alif – The Mobility Pavilion; and Terra – The Sustainability Pavilion.At the moment only a few attractions are open to the public, but more will be available from October 1.
So far, only the Alif and Terra pavilions are open, as well as a few food trucks. There are also buggies available to tour the site.
Despite the lack of experiences right now, the walkable city is still worth a two to three-hour visit, especially for families and groups of friends looking for weekend activities on a budget.

Tickets can be bought at www.expocitydubai.com and at ticket offices at Expo City Dubai.
