Impression of EXPO2025① Jordan Pavilion is very good!! - Gotchampotch’s English blog　ゴッチャンポッチの英語ブログ

I am Japanese live in Osaka, Japan.

I already visited EXPO2025 held now in Osaka several times.

I'll write my own impression of EXPO2025 !

I watched and experienced many pavillions in EXPO2025.

The best pavillion for me at present is Jordan pavillion !

The highlight of this pavillion is sand of Wadi Rum.

Wadi Rum is used as filming locations of some famous movie.

For example, "Lawrence of Arabia", "Star Wars: The Rise of Skywalker".

22ton of Wadi Rum's sand is carried in Jordan pavillion and visitors can touch and sit on Wadi Rum's desert sand!!

I like "Lawrence of Arabia".

And in Japan, this movie have been rerun at the movie theater in April 2025.

I watched "Lawrence of Arabia" 2days before I visited EXPO.

So I was very excited!!!

I wondered that Peter O'Toole and Omar Sharif might have touched these sand!?

In Jordan pavillion, there are not only Wadi Rum's sand but also other things.

Especially interested for me is Bedouin's tool of coffee.

Bedouin is pastorally nomadic Arab tirbes. I learned Bedouin in "Lawrence of Arabia".

Before I watched this movie, I had never heard the name of "Bedouin".

Bedouin's tool of coffee is exhibited in pavilion and we can watch at close!

Maybe the tool is for roasting coffee beans but it is faint memory.

I want to visit Jordan pavilion again and check about this!

In EXPO2025, there are different type of pavilion that required reservation and no required reservation.

No reservation is needed when we visit to Jordan pavilion.

But always there is long queue of Jordan pavilion!

In my case, I wait for about 1 hour.

Even if I wait as same or more time, I want to visit Jordan pavilion again!

Thank you for reading!
