Expo 2020 Dubai has announced its latest visitor numbers, with 3,578,653 individual visits achieved by mid-November, only six weeks into Expo’s six-month run.
The announcement comes after a packed weekend at the site, with musical, sport and cultural performances taking place. K-pop stars Highlight and Punch took to the stage on Friday night for the KITE (K-pop in the Emirates) showcase, along with Fela and the Kalakuta Queens – a spectacular show dedicated to the life of Nigerian musical maestro and political activist Fela Kuti.
Middle East mega-stars Nancy Ajram and Ragheb Alama performed under a full Al Wasl dome, wowing the crowds as part of Expo’s latest Infinite Nights sessions, while eight-time Olympic gold medallist and former sprinter Usain Bolt arrived the following morning, hosting a family fun run at the site for charity.
Expo’s fourth Theme Week include debates and panel discussions centred around Tolerance and Inclusivity, and will feature talent and performances from a range of cultures and backgrounds.
