The pavilion is expected to attract 2.5 million visitors over a period of 6 months.
The Egyptian Pavilion is suggestively located at Expo 2020’s “Opportunity District” that also houses the pavilions of the USA, Switzerland, Saudi Arabia and the UAE. Under the slogan of “Legacy Empowering Future”, the pavilion highlights how Egypt’s people made a glorious history in the past and are currently performing miracles in the present at all levels - culture, economy, tourism, sports as well as the role of women and the youth in society.
Expecting more than 200 official figures and dignitaries from all over the world, the Egyptian Pavilion will organize 116 events over the upcoming 6 months, varying between cultural salons, seminars, sessions, workshops as well as musical events, all highlighting Egypt’s contribution to enriching the Arab and international cultural scene. These events will shed light on the enormous strides that are being taken on the ground to achieve economic growth, sustainable development and welfare for the Egyptian people.

The building looks, from the outside, like a giant edifice decorated by the hieroglyphic signs of the most ancient language that man has ever known. Shining like the sun at the top of the huge building’s exterior wall, the pavilion’s logo, “Egypt”, is artistically based on a design that blends the 2 vital natural resources of the country – land and water.
Giant screens in the shape of the Suez Canal are telling the story of progress in a nation whose legacy has over the years been empowering its future. Symbolically, the main entrance to the pavilion is a triangular gate, representative of one of the 7 wonders of the ancient world - the Great Pyramid of Giza.
