One of the first ‘global mega-events’ to take place since the beginning of the Covid-19 pandemic, Expo 2020 runs from 1 October 2021 to 31 March 2022, inviting visitors from around the world to experience a six-month celebration of ‘human creativity, innovation, progress and culture’.

The expo brings cuisines to suit every palate and budget, from old classics to new innovations. Expo 2020 Dubai has announced their culinary chef partnerships which includes a celebrity line-up of David Myers, Mathew Kenney and Mory Sacko.  

Marjan Faraidooni, chief visitor experience officer at Expo 2020, said: “It’s universally agreed that one of the best ways to discover a country is by sampling its cuisine, and at Expo 2020, visitors are able to eat their way around the world without leaving the UAE.

“Whether you’re curious about the latest dining trends or looking to indulge in what’s tantalising the taste buds of food fanatics around the world, Expo 2020 is a dining destination in its own right, featuring some of the world’s most celebrated chefs, as well as up-and-coming homegrown concepts seeking to make their mark on the international food scene. Many of the 191 participating countries will also be serving authentic dishes and drinks at their pavilions.”

Expo 2020 is the first World Expo to take place in the Middle East, Africa and South Asia (MEASA) region, located on a 4.38 sqkm site adjacent to Al Maktoum International Airport in Dubai South.
