"Nur Alem was the most frequently visited location during Expo 2017 (1,300,000 people) – not surprisingly, because eight floors of the sphere showcased the key sources of renewable energy, such as space, sun, biomass, wind, water, and kinetics. The content of Nur Alem was carried out by a well-known exhibition consultant Raid Sabbah."
