Joy creeps into you while you are on the road, carried to your chest by clean air and sun-colored banners, a warm welcome, and flags aligned like brothers of one house.. They made an old covenant to honor and welcome the guest.

Joy opened its arms at the many doors, expanding the world with love, drawing astonishment on the faces, and instilling in the souls a new hope.

Bahja does not know her secret until she wanders around the place that bears her title, connects minds and gathers hearts, to renounce discord and unite to create the future.

The joy you feel when you look at the faces around you, and you feel them as if you have known them for a long time, so you greet and smile, and then continue your destination.

Joy finds her in the smooth and spacious rows waiting for her turn to look at an ancient past, wander into the future, and navigate between ideas and inventions that were a dream or a fantasy.

Bahja is keen to document her moments in your heart and conscience before your phone, pictures of the color of joy and video clips that redraw a smile on your face... even if you watched it a thousand times.

A joy upon which the pillars of the buildings were built, the designs were colored, the road was paved, and the impossible became a possible reality, so the world raced for existence and participation.

The joy of music, arts, history, culture and heritage.. Above all, the joy of meeting people without fanaticism, tribalism or racism.

The joy of the taste of the foods of different peoples and their favorite dishes that everyone was keen to prepare with love, and everyone who tasted them loved it.

The joy of imagination that Dubai promised to embody as a reality, confirming, as usual, its uniqueness, and adding to its achievements and distinction a new challenge in which it succeeded with distinction.

Dubai and the world lived with it a unique model and an unforgettable copy of the most prominent event at the level of exhibitions, and most importantly at the level of innovation and the introduction of the new in various sciences, and concluded it in the most wonderful way.

The "Expo 2020 Dubai" team is complete, all of you, words will not suffice you.
