00:00Hi everybody, this is Yusra reporting for Gulf News.

00:07We are here doing a media tour of the Expo 2020 site and we are one of the first people

00:16to see how it looks like at the moment.

00:17Right behind me is the El Huasal Plaza and this is the heart of the Expo 2020 site.

00:18It will be sort of the epicenter.

00:19It'll be a gorgeous little dome and fun fact, two areas of the Expo 2020 site are

00:20fully occupied by the Airbus A380s.

00:29So you can imagine how big it will be.

00:42in the stage of installing the panels and the speaker systems and the ground finishing of course

00:48like the three petals, sustainability, mobility and opportunity, they all connect at the Wasser

00:54Plaza and it leads to the metro station over there. So behind me is the UEE Pavilion which

01:03is one of the major attractions of the Expo 2020 site. It is basically designed to look like a

01:08falcon in flight and if you take a look you will see that each of the petals, is what they're

01:14calling them, sort of move with, you know, they just mechanically move so you'll be able to see

01:20like mobility, motion, it's a very cool pavilion and it's supposed to be one of the biggest

01:25attractions. It sort of tells the story of the UEE as a nation so you'll be able to see that once you

01:32visit. Right now we're standing just by the Sustainability Pavilion which is a very interesting

01:46pavilion. First of all, when you walk inside there will be an indoor forest, there will also be sort

01:51of like a replica of what our oceans would look like so you're basically walking through

01:57things that you would find outside but inside. So the goal of the Sustainability Pavilion is to

02:02show the world that it's not too late to save the environment and, you know, of course ways on how

02:07to do it. There's also going to be entertainment, food and a whole bunch of things you can do inside.
