ALIF PAVLION - mobility district

ALIF – The Mobility Pavilion is one of Expo 2020 Dubai’s three signature pavilions based on the sub-themes of Mobility, Sustainability and Opportunity.

The Mobility Pavilion, named Alif (after the first letter of the Arabic alphabet and symbolising the beginning of progress and new horizons)

The pavilion was designed by award-winning British architectural design and engineering firm Foster + Partners. Its ribbed and curved shape was designed to evoke movement.

Its highly reflective stainless steel cladding was inspired by chrome fenders and aircraft wings. It reflects movement from the surrounding areas making the building seem alive and in motion.

A partly underground, partly open-air 330-metre track will allow visitors to see cutting-edge mobility devices in action.

The pavilion demonstrates how people, goods, ideas and data interact in ever more complex ways all over the world. Visitors will proceed through the past, present and future of movement, from ancient exploration to the Emirates Mission to Mars and beyond. They will learn how goods and people are moved around the world and the potential evolution of mobility in the city of the future.

The journey begins 4,500 years ago in Saruq Al Hadid, a settlement in the Dubai desert which had extensive relations with areas in the Gulf, the Levant and West Asia. Visitors are then invited aboard the world’s largest elevator, which takes them to the House of Wisdom in ninth-century Baghdad before going on meet the historical giants of mobility. Visitors will encounter towering nine-metre-tall photo-realistic figures from the Golden Age of Arab Civilisation – including ancient navigator Ibn Majid and the explorer Ibn Battuta – whose innovations helped navigate the world and paved the way for the technology we use today.

Visitors will be shown the incredible progress the UAE has enjoyed in the past 50 years, especially in mobility-related fields such as airlines, logistics and smart cities, extending into the solar system through the UAE’s space programme and the Hope Mission to Mars.

Marjan Faraidooni, Chief Experience Officer, Expo 2020 Dubai, said: “Representing our desire to explore and progress, Alif – The Mobility Pavilion will take visitors on a journey of discovery, exploring new horizons and discovering how making connections, together with developing new technologies, is the basis for human progress.

A look inside the Alif pavilion. Get hands-on by building your own robot or designing a spaceship. Watch demos of hoverboards and jetpacks. Attend workshops and see technology-inspired performances involving drones and robots. Witness how mobility can vastly improve the quality of life for people in developing countries through vehicles like solar-powered tricycles.
