Saudi Arabia

hi everyone , today i am going to introduce Saudi Arabia pavilion.
first give you some headstarts of Saudi Arabia

the capital of The Kingdom of Saudi Arabia is Riyadh, it has 23.7 million of population overall.

The Saudi Arabia Pavilion features a fine centerpiece: a huge hanging boat shaped like a half moon. The "moon boat" is loaded with dreams and friendship. Date palms have been planted on the top deck of the boat, creating a hanging garden, and thus epitomizing the oases in the desert. Visitors will receive a warm welcome in both modern as well as traditional Bedouin tents set among date palm trees.

The pavilion showcases the Arabian wisdom in creating wonderful city life in spite of the severe natural environment without rivers or lakes. Highlights of its exhibition include four types of cities: the City of Energy, the City of Oasis, the Ancient City with Rich Cultural Heritage, and the City of Fast-growing Economy.

pavilion highlights

Highlight 1: Garden with Chinese and Saudi Trees

The first floor of the pavilion is a garden with both Chinese and Saudi trees growing, a symbol of the friendship between the two nations. Saudi Arabia, the homeland of the date palm tree, has reproduced the scene of an oasis in the desert by replanting palm trees on both the rooftop garden and the friendship garden at the ground level. The design is to have the pavilion elevated above the ground and floating between two gardens.

Highlight 2:The Treasure Cinema

Here, visitors will experience one of the highlights of Expo 2010: a” flight over the treasures of Saudi Arabia” experienced using immersion screen technology, multi-projected on a 1,600 square-meter screen---one of the world’ s largest-Guests will be able to experience the magnificent beauty of the Kingdom, and to see many of the country’s natural and cultural treasures.
