I saw this announcement a few days ago on Space.com website – Japanese ispace lander to carry UAE moon rover to lunar surface in 2022: https://www.space.com/uae-moon-mission-ispace-lander-2022. Worth a read if you are into things space-related. Much longer article, but article has photos.

Two more countries will join the moon-landing club next year, if all goes according to plan.
The United Arab Emirates’ (UAE) robotic Rashid moon rover will be delivered to the lunar surface in 2022 by HAKUTO-R, a lander built by the Japanese company ispace, mission team members announced today (April 14).
The upcoming Emirates Lunar Mission will be the first moon landing for the Arab world and for Japan. To date, just three nations have soft-landed a spacecraft on the moon — the United States, the then-Soviet Union and China.
