The occasion was celebrated with a special ceremony as the Pavilion continues to capture the imagination of guests from around the world.

The 250,000th guest and her family were warmly received by Shihab Al Faheem, Ambassador Extraordinary and Plenipotentiary of the UAE Embassy to Japan and Commissioner General of the UAE Pavilion at Expo 2025 Osaka, and were presented with a commemorative certificate, specially selected gifts from the Pavilion shop, and a complimentary dining experience at the Pavilion’s popular Emirati restaurant.

“We are proud to welcome our 250,000th guest to the UAE Pavilion,” said Shihab Al Faheem. “This milestone reflects the Pavilion’s role as a platform for dialogue, discovery, and collaboration. We are honoured to share the UAE’s story with the people of Japan and the world as we work together towards a flourishing future for all life, from Earth to Ether,” he added.

A Journey Through the UAE's Story Guided by the theme Earth to Ether, the Pavilion offers a compelling, multisensory journey through the UAE's story, from its rich cultural roots to its ambitious innovations.

Drawing inspiration from the UAE's cherished date palm tree, the Pavilion’s design reimagines traditional areesh architecture through a striking oasis of 90 soaring rachis columns, crafted using sustainable practices and Japanese woodworking expertise.
