00:00Hello everybody this is Yusra Zaki reporting for Gulf News. We are here at

00:04the Volunteer Center at the Expo 2020 site and we've just done a tour. It's

00:09coming up really well. If you look around you'll see like so many of the

00:13inventions that came up during World Expos and we've seen and tried out a few

00:18of them. So we're here on the Expo 2020 sort of a tour and I wanted to ask you

00:41like how's it looking? What's the progress like? It's fantastic. I mean

00:45these tours are organized as a way of outreaching to the community because a

00:49lot of people ask us questions about what is an Expo, what exactly happens at

00:52an Expo and what we tell people is not only you've got to know what happens at

00:56an Expo as a visitor but as a nation we have a collective responsibility to

01:00invite what we call 192 countries coming to us or 25 million visitors who will

01:05visit us in the next six months starting October of this year and it's really

01:10our responsibility to come together as a nation. It's our opportunity to shine

01:14and tell our story. So this bus tours are part of what we are as outreach

01:18program. We invite members of community to come in and experience these tours

01:21and clearly see for themselves the scale and the size of the Expo. So we're

01:26heading to the main site shortly for a hardhat tour so we'll be walking around

01:30the construction site. Obviously we'll be very protected with headgear, the

01:34correct footwear and safety vests. So stick with us and we'll be walking

01:38around.

01:51So we are on the site at Expo 2020. We are actually right at the center of the

01:58Expo site at the Wessel Dome which has actually been completed and lifted into

02:03place. The dome is sort of designed to look like the logo of Expo 2020 and it

02:09will be a very very big attraction during the October to April months of

02:162020 to 2021. During Expo 2020 the Wessel Dome is going to be the largest 360

02:23degrees projection surface in the entire world. So this is the end of our Expo

02:282020 Dubai site. We are really looking forward to seeing the greatest show on

02:33earth in October 2020 so stay with us. This is Yusra reporting for Gulf News.
