OSAKA: The Saudi Arabia Pavilion, the second largest pavilion after the host country, at Expo 2025 has celebrated reaching two million visitors since opening on April 13, with June 17 being recorded as the highest number of visitors in a single day. 

The milestone was celebrated by Ahmed AlKhateeb, Minister of Tourism, and Ghazi Binzagr, Ambassador of the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia to Japan and Commissioner General of the Saudi Arabia Pavilion.

“Welcoming over two million visitors to the Saudi Arabia Pavilion at Expo 2025 Osaka is both a proud milestone and a powerful reminder of the connections Saudi Arabia is building with Japan and the world. Our Pavilion is more than an exhibition- it is a living expression of our culture, transformation, and global impact for the future,” Binzagr said. 

“It is in that shared future where conversations with national representatives from right across the world have been ignited here in Japan on how we can take the journey forward and reach new heights together at Expo 2030 Riyadh,” he added. 

Designed by Foster + Partners, the award-winning pavilion has hosted over 1500 VIP delegates and conducted more than 2000 events. It was recommended by CNN as one of the top 10 pavilions to visit during Expo.

The Kingdom’s Pavilion offers an immersive experience that showcases Saudi Arabia’s rich heritage and culture.

Some of the programs that it offers include Ahlan Wa Sahlan, We Are Saudi Arabia, and The Botanist Augmented Reality experience. It also offers musical and artistic performances at the Cultural Studios. 

Visitors are encouraged to visit the Pavilion to celebrate the Saudi National Day on Sept. 23 as Osaka Expo prepares to conclude in October. 

Expo 2030 will be held in Riyadh.
