The first session of the "Expo" exhibition was launched in London in 1851 under the title "The Great Exhibition of Industrial Products from Countries of the World", as one of the distinguished events aimed at strengthening international relations, celebrating cultural diversity, and appreciating technological innovations.

Six million people attended the exhibition at the time, and its proceeds were used to fund the construction of the Victoria and Albert Museum.

The famous "Eiffel Tower" is one of the most prominent elements of the exhibition's historical legacy. It was built to serve as an entrance to the "Expo 1889", which was hosted by the French capital, Paris. ‫
