The entire Hungarian pavilion at Expo 2020 Dubai revolves around water, which means treatment and relaxation, as its visitors can dive into relaxing and rehabilitating therapeutic experiences, with the European country focusing on its unique thermal springs rich in minerals.

The Republic of Hungary (or Hungary) is known as the “Land of Waters.” It is located in the Carpathian Basin, where the earth’s crust is thin, and there are a lot of hot thermal springs (more than 1,300 springs, including 123 in the capital Budapest alone).

The pavilion allows its visitors to experience three different types of natural mineral waters, including water that has been proven, through the analysis of stable isotopes of the Hungarian Academy of Sciences, to be thousands of years old, as its deposits in that area exceed 10,000 years (the pavilion provides visitors with a platform to taste this water).

Under the slogan “Hungarian Water Roots,” the pavilion highlights the healing power of water and balneotherapy, an ancient method of treating ailments by bathing in thermal water.

The pavilion's organizers explain the benefits of this water, which is to rejuvenate the skin, hair and cells as well, due to the components contained in it.

They also contain the optimal proportions of iodine and minerals.

Hungary is characterized by its richness in thermal water, producing about 90 million cubic meters annually, and the water flows to the surface through more than 1,000 registered and approved wells (of which 280 are classified as mineral water, and 270 as therapeutic water).

Thermal and mineral geothermal waters are found in at least 80% of the territory of Hungary.

The large reserve of this water is used primarily for drinking and treatment.

Part of it is used in agriculture, energy and beauty care.

medical applications

Visitors will be immersed in the culture of healing and spas, through an interactive exhibition that reveals the origins of Hungary's thermal springs, and how it enhances its rich tourism industry.

Visitors will also discover the medical applications of using mineral water to treat several health conditions, including fatigue and stress.
