At Dubai International Airport, a routine travel day turned into a magical memory for 33 children from Al Etihad Charity Foundation. In a heart-first move that defines what community spirit really looks like, LEGOLAND® Dubai Resort teamed up with major UAE institutions to deliver a day of wonder, surprise, and pure childhood joy. From exploring Terminal 3 to a LEGO-packed finale, this initiative wasn’t just a day out, it was a moment of belonging.
In celebration of the UAE’s Year of Community, Dubai Police led a powerful joint initiative at Dubai International Airport. Partnering with Dubai Airports, Dubai Customs, Dubai Immigration, RTA, Emirates Airline, FlyDubai, and Dubai Duty Free, the event welcomed 33 children, aged 4 to 15, representing nationalities across the Middle East and North Africa. The goal: give these young hearts a glimpse into the exciting world of travel, infused with warmth and care.
Their journey began at Terminal 3, where they navigated immigration, security, lounges, and even got a behind-the-scenes peek into how things work at one of the world’s busiest airports. But the real highlight came at Dubai Customs, where the LEGOLAND® Boy and Girl mascots made a surprise appearance, armed with exclusive LEGO® gift sets. For kids who may have never set foot in an airport before, this wasn’t just a tour—it was a ticket to possibility, wonder, and play.
“At LEGOLAND® Dubai Resort, we believe every child deserves moments of joy, wonder and play,” said Tim Harrison-Jones, General Manager. “Being part of this initiative alongside such impactful organisations was an honour.”
The event highlighted how small gestures, when powered by collaboration, can ripple out into lasting change. For these children, the experience went beyond entertainment, it offered connection, kindness, and a sense of inclusion.
As the UAE continues its Year of Community, this initiative reminds us that magic happens when organisations come together with one goal: to uplift. From LEGO smiles to airport adventures, this partnership proved that joy is best shared.
