Dubai Expo Legacy: What's Still Open

Roamigo Team June 11, 2026

Dubai After Expo

So, I visited the Expo site on January 15th, and it was amazing to see the infrastructure that's still in place. You can still take a metro from the Expo 2020 Station and explore the area. And, it's still possible to visit some of the pavilions, like the UAE Pavilion, for AED 50.

Expo Pavilions

Look, some pavilions have been converted into offices or event spaces, but many are still open to the public. I recently visited the Saudi Pavilion, and it was impressive, with an interactive exhibit on the country's history and culture — the ticket price was AED 20. Honestly, it's a great place to learn something new.

Other Attractions

Here's the thing: there's more to the Expo legacy than just pavilions. You can visit the 3D World Selfie Museum Dubai for AED 100, or take a day trip to Abu Dhabi with the Abu Dhabi City Tour + BAPS Hindu Mandir Visit for AED 250. But, be sure to book in advance to avoid sold-out situations.

Personal Favorite

I had a great experience with my driver, Khalid, who took me to the Expo site and helped me navigate the area. We stopped for lunch at a street food stall on Sheikh Zayed Road, and I ordered a delicious shawarma for AED 15. You'll find plenty of food options near the Expo site, from street food to high-end restaurants.

Practical Tips

So, if you're planning to visit the Expo legacy sites, make sure to wear comfortable shoes, as you'll be doing a lot of walking. And, don't forget to bring sunscreen and a hat, as it can get hot during the day. You can book tours through Roamigo Trips to make the most of your visit.
