United Arab Emirates

Discover UAE Pavilion, where tradition meets modernity. Iconic wind towers, golden coffee pots, camels, and a dhow boat grace the facade, complemented by vibrant blue wave motifs and an arching roof that symbolize innovation.

This season, the Museum of the Future adorns the pavilion, offering a stunning skyline and a map highlighting cultural symbols like palm trees, falcons, and wind towers. Guests can watch artisans craft rugs, pots, and traditional clothing, and enjoy Emirati flavors including dates, coffee, incense, and perfumes.

Iraq

At Iraq Pavilion, guests will step into a world inspired by ancient Mesopotamia. The striking facade, featuring deep blue tiles, white reliefs, and majestic Lamassu statues, will welcome visitors to an unforgettable cultural journey.

Inside, guests will discover Iraq’s rich heritage and modern creativity. They will explore intricate calligraphy, ornate ceramics, and vibrant textiles, all displayed alongside contemporary artworks that showcase the evolving spirit of Iraqi culture.

Heritage Village

One of the most authentic experiences of Season 29 awaited guests at the Heritage Village, quietly nestled behind the UAE Pavilion. Visitors stepped into a Bedouin journey—riding camels through pathways lined with sand houses and traditional shops, just like a desert caravan. Their journey ended at a warm majlis, where they were greeted with Arabic coffee and dates, and mesmerized by a live falcon show that perfectly captured the spirit of timeless Arabian hospitality.
