Expo 2020 Dubai, billed as the World's Greatest Show, begins its six-month run from tomorrow, October 1.

Expo mascot Latifa is an inquisitive eight-year-old girl who dreams of becoming one of the world's greatest inventors. The chatty youngster – who loves playing with her chemistry set and disassembling electronics – is keen to share her knowledge with others and always looking for an opportunity to learn something new. Her brother, nine-year-old Rashid, cares deeply for the environment and enjoys poetry, drawing, riddles and family tales passed down through the generations.
