 “The G-Wagon has a special place in the UAE,” said Kristian Imhof, General Manager, LEGO Middle East and Africa. “Much loved for its exquisite design, solid performance and for being an engineering masterpiece, it has earned the hearts of many of the UAE’s citizens and residents alike.

“Making an actual-size model of this iconic vehicle is the perfect build to celebrate Eid Al Etihad,” added Imhof. “Eid Al Etihad is a joyous occasion for all nationalities to come together and celebrate what makes the UAE special. We’re thrilled to partner with Mercedes-Benz and d3 to commemorate the 53^rd anniversary of the founding of the UAE originally and creatively, and to invite people to show their national pride by helping us build a UAE flag with LEGO bricks!”

We are thrilled to join forces with the LEGO Middle East to celebrate Eid Al Etihad in a truly unique way. The life-size model of the G-Wagon is a result of the shared vision between the LEGO brand and Mercedes-Benz, and we are incredibly grateful for all the creative effort our teams have infused into this project. The G-Class is not just a vehicle; it is an icon that embodies luxury, performance, and adventure—values that resonate deeply with our brand and the UAE customers. We are grateful for this opportunity to excite our diverse community of explorers and inspire creativity,” said Michael Stroband, President and CEO of Mercedes-Benz Cars Middle East.

Commenting on the partnership with LEGO Middle East, Khadija Al Bastaki, Senior Vice President of Dubai Design District, part of TECOM Group PJSC, said: “Few brands have promoted creative experimentation for all ages, and across generations, quite as impactfully as the LEGO brand. As a global hub and champion of creativity, we at d3 look forward to this LEGO masterpiece engaging visitors to our district this Eid Al Etihad and bringing opportunities for everyone to get creative with involvement in building the UAE flag in LEGO bricks too.”A special exhibition area awaits visitors outside Buildings 9 and 10 in d3. Perched on artificial rocky outcrops made from giant LEGO bricks are a brand-new Mercedes G 500 4×4² in a distinctive amber paint finish and a realistic copy of the same vehicle made entirely out of LEGO bricks that is sturdy enough to sit in and explore.

“This incredible LEGO creation took a team of Master Builders no fewer than 2,285 hours to build,” said Imhof. “It’s an artwork in its own right which simply must be experienced in person – a wonderful Eid Al Etihad tribute.”

The history of the G-Wagon in the UAE is displayed on one wall of the exhibition area, while in keeping with the Eid Al Etihad spirit, a LEGO brick mural of the UAE flag adorns another. Visitors can help build the mural in celebration of the occasion.

Fans of the LEGO® Technic range can also buy Mercedes-Benz-themed sets including the LEGO® Technic Mercedes-Benz G 500 Professional Line set that has inspired the actual-size version on display.

Catering to more sophisticated LEGO builders, the set includes authentic details such as working steering, a six-cylinder in-line piston engine, and a gearbox with drive, neutral and reverse settings, mirroring the real vehicle’s functionality.

The LEGO G-Wagon is not the first life-size vehicle build LEGO® Middle East has brought to Dubai. In 2022, an actual-size LEGO® Technic Lamborghini Sián FKP 27 wooed the crowds at d3 and Mall of the Emirates. In October this year, LEGO Middle East, in collaboration with Yas Mall Abu Dhabi, broke the Guinness World Record for the largest LEGO brick Formula 1 car.

Chalet Berezka’s grand reopening set on November 21st brings a whole new vibe to Dubai where evening fountains once flowed, there’s now a vibrant stage buzzing with live performances, interactive art, and an energy that keeps the night alive. “We’re not just changing locations; we’re elevating the entire experience.

The Wagyu Beef Tenderloin, paired with triple-cooked potatoes and Berezka’s secret pepper sauce, offers a perfect balance of tenderness and bold flavor. Each dish is thoughtfully crafted to highlight the freshness and quality of its ingredients, honoring the rich culinary heritage of Russian cuisine. “We wanted Chalet Berezka to be a space where people can taste and feel the spirit of Russian culture—not just through food, but through a total experience of tradition, creativity, and celebration,” says Evgeny Belogorlov, Chalet Berezka’s head chef. His inspiration comes from memories of cooking with my grandmother and mother, and that warmth and simplicity are the heart of his cuisine.

Equally inventive, Chalet Berezka’s cocktails draw inspiration from Russian folklore. Guests can enjoy unique drinks like the Moroshka Gimlet, Rhubarb Strawberry, and Berezka Margarita, which combine exotic fruits and local ingredients. Other selections, like the Limonchello and Smorodinca, bring bold, layered flavors to the table, adding an extra touch of charm to this immersive experience.

Each evening, Chalet Berezka lights up with live music, immersive performances, and one of Dubai’s top-rated entertainment experiences. From Sunday to Thursday, live music starts at 21:00, followed by karaoke and art performances that transform the atmosphere, while Fridays and Saturdays feature unique Russian folk-style shows blending tradition with modern flair.

The show will take place at kanvas, located in Al Khayat Avenue, from 28th October to 23rd December.

Featured Participants: Each section of the exhibition focuses on the inspiring lives and accomplishments of 11 individuals:

• Frida Kahlo – Mexican painter whose physical pain inspired iconic self-portraits.
• Stevie Wonder – Legendary musician who revolutionized soul and funk despite being blind from birth.
• Yayoi Kusama – A groundbreaking contemporary artist who channels her mental health struggles into mesmerizing works.

It features 4 interactive installations which provide deep insight into how people with disabilities perceive the world. Visitors are invited to challenge their minds by engaging their senses in unconventional ways by exploring Braille writing, hearing music through vibrations, communicating through hand-in-hand signs and relying on the senses of taste, scent, and touch. This part of the exhibition demonstrates how people with disabilities can inspire us to expand the limits of our own sensory experiences.

“Art With Disabilities” at its core is about breaking boundaries – not just in the realm of disability, but in how we as a society view success, creativity, and human potential. By celebrating the stories of people who have overcome, adapted, or ignored their limitations, the exhibition is a powerful reminder of the triumph of the human spirit.

“Each participant in this exhibition has found a way to change the world, and their contributions challenge us to question the limitations we place on ourselves and others,” said Polina Gerasimova, creator of the exhibition. “We hope visitors leave with a newfound sense of empathy, awareness, and inspiration.”

With our new and improved Mall of the Emirates store, we are continuing to inspire everyone to enjoy sports and fitness on their own terms, bringing back the enjoyment of sport in day-to-day life.” explained Mohamed Bodiat, Senior Vice President Brands – Sports at GMG.

Athletic activities can be daunting for many, with the pressure and expectation to always perform at your very best. Embracing the #FunToTheFinish spirit, the MOE store will continue to provide opportunities for enjoyment and community connection with their product offering and craft experiences that prioritize fun and enjoyment over endurance and competition. The revamped store also boasts new additions such as Gait Analysis and SafeSize that conduct static and dynamic foot analysis and recommend personalized footwear solutions unique to each customer. Within a few seconds, consumers receive a detailed foot analysis on the screen, only taking a few seconds for sales assistants to bring in the best shoe recommendations by SafeSize– fully connected with the store’s inventory and entirely adapted to the shoppers’ personal preferences. The sports retailer has fused technology within the consumer journey to ensure an unparalleled shopping experience at the revamped Mall of the Emirates store.

The wide range of clothing, apparel and accessories features some of the foremost global brands, including Nike, adidas, Speedo, New Balance, Under Armour and Puma. Beyond clothing, Sun & Sand Sports also provides athletic equipment for home gyms, weight training, swimming, yoga and much more.
