al wasl plaza expo 2020 — Al Wasl Plaza has been dubbed the beating heart of Expo 2020 Dubai, as it stands right in centre of three districts named Opportunity, Mobility and Sustainability. At 130 metres wide with a dome that’s 67.5 metres tall, this is no ordinary building – in fact, the dome doubles as a 360-degree projection surface. But you don’t have to limit yourself to marvelling at the exterior, for Al Wasl Plaza hopes to offer you six unique shows, out of which five will take place daily. Here's a look at what's on offer Image Credit: Supplied
