Millions of people will begin converging on Dubai this week as the Covid-delayed Expo 2020, the world's biggest event since the pandemic, finally unveils its gleaming pavilions in the desert.

The Expo site in the dusty Dubai suburbs has remained strictly off-limits during its year-long postponement but the wraps will come off today (Sept 30) at an opening ceremony attended by Emirati royalty.
