About the Dubai World’s Fair
The event was first held in 1851 on the territory of London. After that, the exhibition was organized in various cities and countries.
This year, the opening took place in November on the territory of the United Arab Emirates, despite the fact that it was planned a year earlier. Due to the pandemic, the deadline was postponed. The country was chosen back in 2013. The preparation took seven whole years, and in monetary terms it cost $ 7,000,000,000. Tourists are allowed not only to observe the presented objects, but also to shoot them on video.
