Latifa
Latifa is eight years old and loves to be challenged! Her quick wit and resourcefulness help her find a logical and grounded solution to any test, and her love for technology knows no bounds.
Rashid
Rashid is a nine-year-old boy with a vivid imagination, a love of the environment, and a strong spirit that helps him find the courage to fight for what is right.
Salama
Wise ghaf tree Salama. A beacon of life against the vast desert, Salama is a traveler’s refuge for countless years.
Opti
Wherever this friendly robot’s little wheels take him, opportunity and hope follow him closely. But don’t be fooled by its tiny size, for at its core is a portal through time and space.
Terra
As the sharpest and smartest of the Guardians, you definitely don’t want to get on Terra’s bad side – especially when she’s invisible. A stern and loyal guide, Terra is extremely protective of nature and knows its deepest secrets.
Alif
Alif is definitely the leader of the guards – or at least he thinks so. This shape-shifting robot will always get you where you need to go, whether you’re digging through the earth’s core or surfing stardust over cosmic waves.
Mr. Scrap
Mr. Scrap, once famous for his massive coal-chewing, gas-firing, and smoking machine, is fueled by rage as the world moves towards sustainability. He promised to destroy any symbol of sustainability, including Expo 2020.
Floppy
Scrap’s loyal sidekick, Floppy, is a robot minion with a few loose bolts and a jet engine. They’ve been together for many years and no one is more loyal than Floppy. Now, they’re part of Virtual Expo Dubai 2020.
