The Dubai Media office, in a tweet, posted pictures of Sheikh Mohammed along with Emirati astronauts Hazzaa Al Mansouri and Sultan Al Neyadi along with members of the new astronaut corp Nora Al Matrooshi and Mohammad Al Mulla taking a tour of the exhibition halls at DWTC.

The Dubai Ruler took to Twitter to welcome IAC and expressed his confidence in the country’s growing space sector.
He expressed pride in hosting the event, “I am proud of the UAE hosting this scientific event, and proud of our team.”
The mega event which has taken place in several cities annually since 1950 provides a platform to exchange information and ideas, discuss developments and advances and share insights on strategies and rising trends in the fields of space research and exploration.
