Expo 2020 was the most awaited event in Dubai. The event got postponed by a year due to the pandemic. But that did not dampen its fervor in any way. The Expo was one of the grandest events that happened in 2021. The 181 pavilions and their numerous fascinating exhibits were visited by millions of people from all over the world. Expo 2020 was a 6-month long event for which the Dubai government had created a city named District 2020. This mini city is now called Expo City Dubai. It has been converted into a neighborhood with thriving residential and corporate areas. Some of the pavilions and exhibits are still functioning here, making it a great place to visit on an evening out with family and friends. A few cafes and restaurants are also under operation.
