According to a report by Exhibition World, Expo 2023 Doha will be the very first A1 World Horticultural Expo in the Middle East approved by the International Association of Horticultural Producers (AIPH).
The approval came after a delegation from AIPH spent 4 days touring Qatar's capital, Doha, to assess the readiness of the state to host the mega-expo. Officials visited several locations in Qatar to witness the progress made by the Ministry of Municipality and toured Expo 2023 Doha's legacy building, Expo House.
The Expo House has been integrated into the popular Al Bidda park located in central Doha. The structure is covered in greenery, shaped like a semicircle, and features a large open space in front with a magnificent fountain at its center. There are outdoor seating areas installed on the sides of the pavilion that form a natural amphitheater that will host some of the Expo’s events and gatherings.
Other infrastructures and developments in Al Bidda park were also assessed as this will be the venue of EXPO 2023 from 2 October 2023 until 28 March 2024.
Expo 2023 will span 1.7m sqm and will be divided into three zones: International Zone, Family Zone, and Cultural Zone.
Visitors of Expo 2023 Doha can expect activations, entertainment, activities, and edutainment.
“It has been an honour to welcome the president of AIPH and his delegation to Qatar. We have successfully demonstrated that we are ready to host this prestigious event with more than 50 countries already signed up to participate. We are expecting to reach the target of 80 national pavilions, and we invite all countries to join this exceptional event in Qatar.”
