The Dubai Metro will run for 24 hours to cater to the rush of visitors on the final day of Expo 2020.
Metro trains will run all night as “volumes and volumes of people” are expected on March 31, according to Tareq Ghosheh, chief events and entertainment officer, Expo 2020 Dubai.
An Expo marketing mailer says: “Come early! Take the metro (it will run 24 hours), public transport or make the most of the park & ride service from the Jebel Ali Metro Station.”
The closing ceremony promises to be a spectacular affair, complete with fireworks, air shows and world-class performers.
Celebrations will continue throughout the night, with firework displays at midnight and 3am, before Expo 2020 Dubai closes its Entry Portals for the final time.

The performances will be livestreamed on giant screens across the Expo site.
