The Pakistan Pavilion at the Dubai Expo 2020 has received much praise in the press and among visitors. It received 8,000 visitors on the first day according to Khaleej Times.

Khaleej Times uploaded a video on its social media doing a tour of the Pakistan pavilion which has been set up in the Opportunity section, ostensibly to showcase the many opportunities the country has to offer.

Curated by famed artist Noorjehan Bilgrami and named "Hidden Treasures of Pakistan", the structure was designed by renown artist Rashid Rana and visitors were all praise.

Afroz Abro, lead programming and marketing at Pakistan Pavilion, told Khaleej Times on Friday: “The response has been outstanding and we have people appreciating all aspects of the pavilion."

The pavilion is divided into eight key spaces where visitors will experience Pakistan's "hidden treasures".
