From touching Dead Sea salts, smelling spices to experiencing the Al Aqsa Mosque in virtual reality, visitors can take a sensory tour of Palestine at Dubai Expo 2020
A wall inscribed with the message “Welcome to Palestine” in multiple languages greets patrons who arrive at the pavilion representing the State of Palestine at Dubai Expo 2020.
Nestled between the UAE and Saudi Arabian pavilions, Palestine’s is located in the Opportunity District and designed by the Palestinian Economy Ministry. The 1,250 square-metre rectangular two-floor building with rounded corners has an exterior fashioned with line drawings of the city of Jerusalem and swathes of decorative Arabic script.
“The aim is to make our visitors feel like they are in Jerusalem,” the guide announces to a group of us upon entry into the pavilion, priming visitors for an event that will take them into a “five senses journey of Palestine.” While on the ground floor, the guide runs through a quick summary of historic Palestine and the land’s significance for the three Abrahamic faiths. The floors themselves are replicas of Jerusalem’s Old City streets, tailored with vertical strips of deep brown cladding and interspersed with generous entryways.
