Built around the theme Earth to Ether, the pavilion offers a multisensory journey through the UAE's story, from its rich cultural roots to its innovations in space exploration, healthcare, and sustainability.
Drawing inspiration from the UAE's date palm tree, the pavilion's design reimagines traditional areesh architecture through an oasis of 90 soaring rachis columns, crafted using sustainable practices and Japanese woodworking expertise.
Inside the pavilion, guests embark on a journey that shares the UAE's national story, one of deep humanity and transformation rooted in enduring values. The journey culminates in 'Woven Legacies', a documentary installation that brings visitors face to face with contemporary life in the United Arab Emirates.
Since opening, the pavilion has witnessed strong and sustained guest interest, reflecting its growing reputation as one of the most engaging national pavilions across Expo 2025 Osaka.
