It will have an open dome, and when completed will be able to accommodate 10,000 people
Expo 2020 has unveiled what will be the the main venue for the six-month long event.
Al Wasl Plaza will connect the three thematic pavilions. Al Wasl is the old name of Dubai, and means connectivity. It is the link between East and West.
The plaza will have an open dome, and when completed will be able to accommodate 10,000 people. It will play host to concerts once Expo 2020 has wrapped up.
It has yet to be tendered.
No cost of the project was provided.
The dome will be 65-metres high, and the diameter will be 150 metres.
The site will be a 438-hectare area located between Dubai and Abu Dhabi.
Work has also begun on the new Metro station, and is scheduled to be completed by October 2019, a year before Expo 2020 gets under way.
