The visual design of the pavilions reflects the rich history, culture, and natural beauty of Riyadh, highlighting the Kingdom"s commitment to addressing global climate concerns and fostering a future brimming with potential.

Visitors will be able to enjoy fully shaded corridors inspired by Riyadh"s architectural heritage. Adding a touch of green to the exhibition site, a modern green oasis will grace one of the tributaries of Wadi As-Sulai, showcasing the Kingdom"s commitment to preserving and sustainably developing its natural resources. At the heart of the exhibition"s main plan, a striking landmark symbolizing "Responsibility for Protecting the Planet" will stand tall. Comprising 195 columns representing the participating countries, this landmark will be surrounded by three pavilions, each dedicated to the Expo"s sub-themes of "Prosperity for All," "Climate Action," and "A Different Tomorrow." Riyadh Expo 2030 will also feature the Collaborative Change Corner (C3), an area designed to drive innovation and creativity throughout the seven-year journey leading up to and beyond the Expo.
