In 2016, His Highness Sheikh Mohammed bin Rashid, the Vice President and Prime Minister of the UAE and Ruler of Dubai, was photographed overseeing the expansive Dubai desert, the future location of Expo 2020.
A mere five years later, in a comparable vantage point, Sheikh Mohammed observed the complete transformation of the Dubai Expo 2020 site.
The once vast desert landscape had evolved into a cosmopolitan hub featuring over 200 pavilions, with 191 representing individual countries.
