Dubai has won the right to host the World Expo 2020 after a thrilling night of voting in the French capital Paris.
After a thrilling night of voting in Paris, Dubai has won the right to host the World Expo 2020.
A roar of jubilation went up from the bidding committee in the OECD auditorium as the realization that years of preparation – or pure blood, sweat and tears – had finally come to fruition.
The bidding committee made its mark during their final 20 minute presentation. It was a bid that stood out for its sincerity and honesty.
Reem Al Hashimi began with her telling the audience that ''today I make the biggest speech of my life. We began this journey with a view that we were willing to understand what the future would be.''
Poll reveals overwhelming support for Dubai Expo bid
Almost all Dubai residents believe the emirate deserves to win the right to host the World Expo 2020, a government-hosted survey revealed on Sunday.
Results of the ‘We Deserve It’ survey by Dubai Statistics Center said 99.57 per cent of Emirati respondents believe that Dubai is a strong candidate city to host the event, with 99.41 per cent supporting the bid. Non-Emirati residents displayed similar opinions. Some 99.12 per cent of them said they believe Dubai is a strong contender and 98.67 per cent of them support the bid.
The center surveyed 64,802 respondents over a 10-day period this month to measure community awareness and support, in coordination with the higher committee of Dubai’s Expo 2020 Bid. More than half of the respondents were Emiratis while the rest represented expatriates.
Reem Al Hashemi, UAE Minister of State and the committee’s managing director, said the survey results are encouraging.
“It is sincerely gratifying to learn that the data reinforces the outpouring of support we’ve seen from across the UAE, and indeed, the world,” Al Hashemi said. “As the Dubai Statistics Centre’s campaign ‘We Deserve It’ has proven, an overwhelming majority of the population surveyed believes that we do indeed deserve to host Expo 2020 in Dubai.
“Inshallah, we hope the member nations of the Bureau International des Expositions (BIE) agree on Wednesday.”
The 168 member nations of the BIE will cast their votes on Wednesday, November 27 to decide which candidate city will win the bid to host the Expo. Other candidate cities are Brazil’s Sao Paulo, Turkey’s Izmir and Russia’s Yekaterinburg

The UAE is bidding to host the World Expo 2020 in Dubai under the theme ‘Connecting Minds, Creating the Future’.
Every five years and for a period of six months, World Expos attract millions of visitors. The World Expo has never been held in the Middle East, Africa and South East Asia in the history of the event.
Dubai's Bid
For Dubai's bid to host the 2020 World Expo in Dubai, the UAE has selected the theme “Connecting Minds, Creating the Future”.
In today’s highly interconnected world, a renewed vision of progress and development based on shared purpose and commitment is key. While a single human mind, an individual country, or a specific community is both unique and remarkable, it is by working collaboratively that we truly advance.
A World Expo in Dubai in 2020 would be the first to be held in the MENASA (Middle East, North Africa and South Asia) region. As the global community faces ever more complex, and increasingly interconnected challenges, the links between people, societies and ideas have never been more important. Dubai Expo 2020 will be a platform for connectivity to help pioneer new partnerships for growth and sustainability for the future.
The UAE
For two and a half millennial the Gulf coast has been a crossroads of the world. From the Persian Royal Road to the Han Dynasty’s Silk Road, from the trading posts of the 19th century to the hyper modernity of today’s UAE, people have always converged here. They come to do business but also to share ideas, experience and inspiration.
It is strange to imagine that 20 years ago Sheikh Zayed Road, Dubai’s main thoroughfare, was mostly sand. Now it is one of the world’s most modern urban landscapes, linked by multi-lane highways and a state-of-the-art Metro system. Indeed in four decades the country’s soft and hard infrastructure have developed to such an extent that the UAE today might be one of the most hyper-connected places on the planet, where more than 200 different nationalities mingle daily.
A city of Arabia, Dubai is also a city of the world. With the UAE’s increasingly pivotal role in the global economy, we know our continued progress depends on interaction and cooperation between individuals worldwide. This interconnectedness lies at the heart of who we are and what we do. Our passion for bringing people together drives our desire to bring the World Expo for the first time to the region and to the UAE.

Dubai’s beaches are many but a lot of them belong to hotels so here we take a look at the best public beaches- some are free to access and some have a small charge. Ladies must wear a full bikini or a swimsuit when on the public beaches and swimming in underwear is not allowed. Topless sunbathing is not allowed anywhere in Dubai and the wearing of thongs is not recommended!Beachwear should only be worn while on the beach and not while walking to or from the actual beach… although you may see see bemused tourists wandering up Beach Road wondering why they are getting funny looks!
All the shoreline hotels have beaches and you can pay to use the beach at a resort in many places as long as they are not full. This can cost anywhere between 200 Dhs to 700 Dhs.
A note of warning for all swimmers: the seas in Dubai usually look very calm but even strong swimmers have been swept out to sea by strong rip tides and currents. Please take care when swimming and warn any visitors you may have too.
Mamzer Beach Park
Mamzer Beach is massive and beautiful and it has just been awarded blue flag beach status, making Mamzer Beach Park one of the most desirable beaches to visit. It has 5 beaches in coves around the coast of the park and is very popular with tourists and residents. Each beach has sheltered areas with changing rooms and showers and you can rent chalets complete with a barbecue area on a daily basis. If you don’t want to venture into the sea there are also 2 very large swimming pools. You can rent sun loungers and umbrellas and there are some small cafés and grocery stores. There are also lifeguards on duty with flag warning systems. There is a small charge to get in 5dhs if you walk in and 40 dhs per car if you drive in.
Jumeirah Beach Park
This is one of Dubai’s most popular public beach parks due to its’ handy location on Beach Road and it has just been awarded blue flag beach status, making Mamzer Beach Park one of the most desirable beaches to visit. This park has a stretch of golden sand, grassy areas and palm trees. At either end of the beach there are cafes selling snacks and drinks, there are also showers and toilets and a lifeguard is on duty until sunset. There is a small charge to get in of around 5 dhs.
Russian Beach
Russian Beach is also known as theOpen Beach or Jumeirah Open Beach and is free to use. It is just after Palm Strip Mall at the lower end of Beach Road… the opposite end to the Burj Al Arab. It got its name originally as this is where the Russian and Eastern Europeans always used to hang out. It doesn’t have many facilities but there are some showers and toilets dotted about but you are very close to the small malls on Beach Road that have a lot of cafés so refreshments aren’t far away. There is a jogging track along the stretch of beach and you will see a lot of beefcakes exercising round here! You’ll also see a lot of strollers, joggers, roller- skaters and cyclists. It can get quite man- heavy at the weekend so if you’re a solo lady you may prefer to go Jumeirah Beach Park to avoid stares.
Kite Beach
This is the beach where kite surfers congregate and its great fun to watch them or have a go yourself. It’s also known as Woollongong Beach as it is just behind the University of Wollongong. In the old days you could drive up on to the beach and have barbeques but this is not allowed anymore. It really is just a stretch of open beach and there are no facilities- so make sure you bring snacks and water etc. with you. It’s a lovely peaceful stretch of beach with views of the Burj Al Arab and you can take a good long walk up the beach. Kite Beach is on the shore opposite the Al Manara Road junction- just swing off down one of the little side roads and you will find it!
Burj Beach
Following on from Kite Beach is what is called Burj Beach. This is a very wide and long stretch of beach leading to the Burj Al Arab and is very popular. There are some facilities here as well as volley ball nets and playing football is very popular on this stretch of beach.
Ghantoot Beach
The Golden Tulip Hotel runs this stretch of beach and beach access costs 100 Dhs, which is great as it means you can use their pool,facilities, bars and cafés too. There are volley ball nets and barbeques. There is also a watersports club which offers waterskiing, wake boarding, banana boating and other activities. It’s a great place to escape Dubai at the weekend and you could even team it with an overnight stay at the resort.
How to find it- head up the Sheikh Zayed Road towards Abu Dhabi and keep an eye out for the Ghantoot exit (399). You will see signs for the Al Jazira Golden Tulip Hotel and you will see the gates for Ghantoot Beach. For more information visit www.goldentulipaljazira.com
Jebel Ali Beach
Jebel Ali beach is a stretch of open beach next to the Jebel Ali Beach Resort. There has been a lot of water front construction in that area so the beach is getting smaller. This beach is also popular with the kite surfers. It used to be a great camping spot but you had to get a licence from the Dubai Municipality if you wanted to stay overnight. The rules keep changing so you would have to check with them if it is ok to camp there. The best thing to do would be to take an exploratory trip up there and check out the lay of the land before you pack the car up with camping gear!
JBR Beach
JBR Beach is on the coast next to Jumeirah Beach Resort and is free to use and very popular with residents of the area and tourists. There always seem to be a lot of what we can only call “posers” on this beach- mainly at the weekends! This makes for great people watching though! There are no facilities like showers or toilets on the stretch of beach but the cafes of The Walk are nearby for toilet trips and food! Events are quite often held on this stretch of beach including sporting events and motoring events.
Royal Island Beach Club
OK, so this is not a free beach but it sounds pretty amazing and with it costing 500 Dhs a person to go and visit the first open island of The World development we reckon it would be worth it for a splurge- visitors would no doubt be very impressed too! Situated on the island of Lebanon the beach club features eight private chalets, an restaurant, a swimming pool and two beach areas. You will be ferried to the island on a boat- the pick- up points are still to be announced as the club is expected to open April 2012. Visit www.royalislandbeachclub.ae for more information.
