Sheikh Hamdan received an excellent education in England, where he spent his youth. He graduated with honors from the Military School and the College of Economics in London. Already in the UAE, Hamdan entered the school of administrative management, which helped him in his further state activities.
Sheikh Hamdan took the throne in 2008 after his older brother abdicated. This news did not become a novelty for the parents, as they assumed such an outcome of events. The Prince of Dubai justified the hopes placed on him and has been ruling the principality for 10 years. It is noted that he actively participates in the political life of the country, not missing a single meeting.
The usual appearance of eminent heirs is not applicable to the prince of the UAE. Naturally, he lives in comfortable apartments, he has a car and a yacht, but at the same time, Prince Hamdan is one of the most responsible rulers. The Prince successfully runs the Young Entrepreneurs Institute and holds a senior position in the Emirati Sports Council.
In addition, the Prince of the UAE finances several programs that are aimed at raising funds to help children and animals. He is the head of one of the charitable foundations dealing with autistic children.
Prince Hamdan's mutilations
However, in his life there is not only politics. The prince also finds time for entertainment. Despite his position in society, the sheikh has a lot of hobbies. The favorite occupation of the heir is diving, water skiing and parachuting. Once he happened to experience a modern aircraft, which is able to rise into the air, spewing huge jets of water.
As is clear from all of the above, the prince is attracted to extreme sports. His merits also include photo hunting on the African continent. The heir is the winner of the Olympic Games in equestrian sport.
Personal life of Prince Hamdan
young man on this moment, is an enviable groom. And if you consider that he is handsome and smart, and not without a sense of humor and modesty, then in an attempt to win his heart, a whole line of beautiful ladies will line up.
The media has repeatedly said that the prince's heart is not occupied by anyone and he is in search of that one. However, more than once information was found that the engagement of the prince took place in infancy and the chosen one was found long ago. Recently it became known that the wife of Sheikh Hamdan should be Sheikha bint Said Thani al-Maktoum. The yellow press has repeatedly published pictures of the prince with a stranger, whose face is hidden by a cloth.
He is compared to Aladdin, but Hamdan ibn Mohammed al Maktoum, the crown prince of Dubai, is far from poor, unlike his fabulous "prototype". He is modest, smart, kind, educated, writes poetry, does charity work and loves extreme sports, in addition to everything else, he is also immensely rich. image makers royal family work tirelessly, creating the ideal image of an oriental prince. But is it really so perfect - remains a mystery ...
Hamdan bin Mohammed Al Maktoum, Crown Prince of Dubai, was born on November 13, 1982. Hamdan is the second son of Sheikh Mohammed bin Rashid al Maktoum and his first wife, Hind bint Maktoum bin Yuma al Maktoum.
Hamdan belongs to the Al Maktoum clan. This dynasty of sheikhs has been in power since 1833 and has ruled Dubai from 1971 to the present. Al Maktoum is also the "supplier" of the UAE's hereditary prime ministers and vice presidents.
Rod al Maktoum comes from the Arab clan al-Abu-Falah, part of the Beni Yas tribal federation, which has dominated the UAE since the middle of the 18th century. In 1833, the al Abu Falah clan, led by the al Maktoum clan, moved to Dubai and established an independent sheikhdom here. A distinctive feature of the rule of the sheikhs of al Maktoum is the peaceful transfer of power from the previous sheikh to the heir, unlike other Arab dynasties of the Persian Gulf.
Hamdan's father, Mohammed bin Rashid al Maktoum, also known as Sheikh Mohammed, is the Prime Minister and Vice President of the United United Arab Emirates, ruler (emir) of Dubai. In addition, since 1971 he has been the Minister of Defense of the UAE. According to Forbes for 2013, his fortune, most of which depends on the price of oil and investments in various sectors of the world economy, is estimated at $39.5 billion.
Sheikh Mohammed is also known for his generosity and love of racing. On October 25, 2006, he gave Michael Schumacher the island of Antarctica in the artificial archipelago of The World worth $7 million.
Hamdan's mother, HH Sheikha Hind bint Maktoum bin Juma al Maktoum, is the first wife of Mohammed bin Rashid al Maktoum. She married a Sheikh in 1979 when she was 17 and Mohammed was 30. Sheikha Hind completed the course high school in Dubai, but due to early marriage higher education never received it. Nevertheless, those close to her characterize her as a very well-read and wise person, who is aware of all events. Sheikha Hind is not a public person and does not attend events where men participate. She strictly observes local traditions and culture, but nevertheless actively works to expand opportunities for the participation of UAE women in the public, cultural, economic and political life of the country. There is not a single officially confirmed photo of Sheikha Hind in the public domain, and she never accompanies her husband on business events, unlike his other wife, Princess Haya bint al Hussain.
The upbringing of Prince Hamdan, despite the untold wealth and luxury, took place in the spirit of the traditional values of the Arab world. “My father, His Highness Sheikh Mohammed bin Rashid Al Maktoum, is my mentor in life. I always continue to learn from him, and his experience helps me in solving many strategic issues. My mother, Sheikha Hind, is a true example of a loving and caring mother. She raised me in an atmosphere of absolute love and affection and still supports me, despite the fact that I have already grown. I have great respect for her and I think that any society where mothers are not valued is dishonorable and worthless, ”says the prince about his upbringing.
Hamdan received his primary education at a private school named after Sheikh Rashid. After graduation, he entered the Faculty of Administrative Management at the Dubai Government School. Then he continued his studies in the UK at the Royal Military Academy in Sandhurst, where the heirs to the British throne, Harry and William, also studied. In an interview with Vision magazine, the prince noted that studying at Sandhurst developed in him self-discipline, responsibility, determination and the ability to work in a team. After the academy, he graduated from the London School of Economics.
In September 2006, Hamdan was appointed Chairman of the Dubai City Executive Council.
On February 1, 2008, Hamdan becomes the Crown Prince of Dubai following the abdication of his older brother Rashid bin Mohammed. It is worth noting that one of the features of the Bedouins who founded monarchies in the Middle East is their "unsettled" succession to the throne. That is, the eldest son does not necessarily become the next heir to the throne. Here everything depends on the will of the ruling sheikh.
As the new crown prince, he was appointed to a number of key positions, such as head of hedge fund HN Capital LLP and president of the new university named after him. He also served as the head of the Young Entrepreneurs Support League, the Emirate of Dubai Sports Committee and the Dubai Autism Research Centre. Under his patronage is the Dubai Marathon.
Hamdan can often be seen at all sorts of congresses and summits, where he stands out from the crowd thanks to his national dress - kandura and arafatka, which are always worn by members of the UAE royal family at official events.
There is not so much public information about Hamdan's older brother, Rashid ibn Mohammed, who was excommunicated from the throne. This is partly due to his strained relationship with his father. The spoiled reputation of the eldest son led to the fact that his father excommunicated him from the throne and forbade him to engage in any government activities. Rashid fell out of favor because of his excessive love for sports ... Everything would be fine if this passion did not result in the use of steroids, and then drugs. In 2011, the English newspaper The Telegraph published an article stating that the eldest son of Sheikh Mohammed was treated for drug addiction in one of the English clinics. At one time, Wikileaks shared even more horrific information about Rashid. The website reported that Rashid bin Mohammed, possibly under the influence of drugs, killed his father's assistant at the Royal Office in Dubai. More detailed details of the murder were not indicated in the report of the portal, which caused a number of doubts about the reliability of this information.
Prince Hamdan leads an active lifestyle, the list of his hobbies is huge - skydiving, diving, fishing, falconry, snowboarding, cycling and much more. In his free time, he writes poetry under the pseudonym Fazza, which he dedicates, among other things, to his homeland and family.
About the appearance of his pseudonym, the sheikh tells the story of an old man in the desert, who nicknamed him Fazza. “If I tell you that the nickname came about by chance, you won’t believe me,” Sheikh Hamdan says. “Once fate brought me to the desert with an old man, his car got stuck in the sands. At that moment, I was driving my hunting falcon through the desert, trying to teach him calmness during a high-speed ride between sand dunes. When I saw him, I stopped to do my duty and help a man in need. We pulled the car out of the sand, and I got into my car without waiting for words of gratitude. And then I heard a strong and determined voice directed in my direction, which said: "You are Fazzaa." This voice had a strong effect on me, but I remember even more his manner of speech and the way he pronounced the word “Fazzaa”. The nickname remained in my memory, and a little later it completely became my middle name. By the way, this old man did not know who I was, but I do not know who he is, I only remember his image. "Fazzaa" in Arabic is a person who helps all those who are in trouble.
... My poetry can fill people's hearts with happiness and help alleviate their suffering, - says Hamdan about his hobby. - I had the chance to meet many poets who helped me to identify and develop my own style. From an early age, my father listened to my poems and gently advised in which direction to move on. Hamdan's poems are mostly romantic and patriotic and, of course, many are dedicated to his main passion - horses.
A special passion for the prince, as befits the Arab sheikhs, are thoroughbred stallions and equestrian sports. His Highness has several awards from prestigious competitions, including the gold medal of the World Equestrian Games, held in France in 2014.
The list of Hamdan's victories is endless. The prince's main achievement is team gold at the 2006 Asian Summer Games and a gold medal at the FEI World Equestrian Games in Normandy (160 km), which he won last August on a purebred Arabian mare yamamah (which translates from Arabic as "little dove"). “The route was extremely technically difficult,” says the prince. - In addition, it was aggravated by the weather and high humidity. I had to make sure that the horse was well protected from the weather all the time. It is not surprising that the number of those who could just finish was small for a championship of this level.” 165 athletes from 47 countries took part in the tournament. At first, the team from the United Arab Emirates took the lead, but by the end of the third lap, only one representative of this team remained on the route - Sheikh Hamdan. Many participants in the tournament were injured on the course, and the rider's horse from Costa Rica tragically died on the route from a collision with a tree. So this victory was really not easy for the prince and once again confirmed his high sports level.
The prince himself has repeatedly said that he was born in a family where horses are adored, and riding gives him a sense of freedom. Among other things, the sheikh has several camels, one of which he spent almost three million dollars, expensive cars and his own yacht. And as pets, Hamdan got himself a pair of white tigers and two albino lions.
Sheikh Hamdan, as is typical for a royal person, devotes a lot of time to charity, helping disabled and sick children, purchasing medical equipment.
Netizens sometimes compare the Dubai prince with Disney's Aladdin, the hero of the Thousand and One Nights fairy tales. And also notice his resemblance to actor Eric Bana (Australian actor, starred in such films as Hulk, Troy, Star Trek. - Approx. ed.). Almost two million users have subscribed to Hamdan's Instagram page.
Very little is known about Hamdan's personal life, unlike his famous European "colleagues", and what is known is only rumors and conjectures. One thing is for sure - the image makers of the royal court are constantly working to ensure that the image of the sheikh is impeccable. He often takes pictures with children and animals, demonstrates his versatile hobbies and looks very charming and kind at the same time. Which, undoubtedly, plays a positive role in creating the image of a prince "close to the people."
About his relationship with women in the UAE, they speak only in a whisper. But even among the whispers, very piquant rumors slip through. So some "well-wishers" explain the status of a bachelor Hamdan by the fact that he is a representative of non-traditional orientation. However, answering a question about his possible marriage, the prince says that from birth he was engaged to a maternal relative - Sheikha bin Thani bin Said al Maktoum, so there are no problems with choosing a bride - everything was decided long before How did he ever reach adulthood?
However, from 2008 to 2013, he was in close contact with another of his distant relatives, whose name is unknown. But this relationship ended in January 2013. The arranged marriage was immediately canceled for reasons that were not made public. Already in the summer of 2014, the prince met a new love. Hamdan fell in love so much that he announced his engagement very soon. His chosen one was Kalila Said, a 23-year-old refugee from Palestine, who grew up in the slums of an Arab metropolis. Young people met while working on a charity project in one of the disadvantaged areas of the capital. You can’t call a girl a money hunter: the prince had to seek her attention for more than three months before she agreed to go on a date, but soon the couple became inseparable. According to rumors circulating in the country, Sheikh Mohammed was not very pleased with the choice of the prince and even threatened to deprive his son of his inheritance, but to no avail. The young man chose love, as a result of which the father reconsidered his position, resigned himself and, it seems, even gave the couple his blessing.
However, fans of Hamdan should not despair: in the UAE, the sheikh has the right to have as many wives as he wants. By the way, Hamdan's brother, Prince Said al Maktoum, also married a girl of low birth, Azerbaijani Natalya Aliyeva. She worked as a waiter in Belarus (where they met), and in the UAE she became Princess Aisha al Maktoum.
Despite his fame and a billion-dollar fortune (according to Forbes for 2011 - $ 18 billion), the prince tries to behave very restrained in public. “The fact that I am the son of Sheikh Mohammed bin Rashid does not give me an unconditional right to refuse my duties,” says Hamdan. “On the contrary, I feel that my brothers and I have an obligation to be more responsible and take every job as seriously as possible.”
The love story of a simple girl and a prince is a classic plot for fairy tales and has been popular since time immemorial, so not only little girls dream of marrying a handsome, rich and intelligent “prince on a white horse”, but also fully accomplished adult women. And miracles happen, the main thing is to know where to look for him, this prince. We present to your attention the five most beautiful and richest heirs of the Muslim world.

Sheikh Mohammed bin Hamad bin Khalifa Al Thani Sixth son of the former ruling emir of Qatar Hamad bin Khalifa and the fifth son of his second wife - sheikhs Mozah bint Nasser al-Misned, sheikh Mohammed is a representative of another major dynasty of the Arab world, the ruling family of Qatar - al-Thani.
He studied at the Qatar Academy, received a bachelor's degree from Georgetown University's Qatar Affiliate School of Diplomacy, and an MBA from Harvard University. Sheikh Mohammed is fluent in Arabic, English and French.
According to the laws of the Arab monarchies, the eldest son of the ruler of the state is considered the crown prince, so Mohammed, being the sixth son of the emir, most likely will never become the head of Qatar. But this does not mean that the younger children of the rulers do not take part in managing the affairs of the state. Usually, the children of emirs hold positions in the cabinet of ministers or lead numerous committees that oversee issues of national importance. This is what happened to Sheikh Mohammed. The former captain of the Qatar equestrian team, he is very passionate about sports, therefore he is directly involved in the leadership of the Preparatory Committee for the World Cup, which is to be held in Qatar in 2022.

5. Sheikh Jasim bin Hamad bin Khalifa al-Thani
Sheikh Jasim bin Hamad bin Khalifa Al Thani Brother of the Sheikh Mohammed al-Thani(not only by father, but also by mother), sheikh Jasim is definitely included in the list of the most beautiful Arab men. By the way, the appearance in our today's ranking of two brothers al-Thani not surprising. The fact is that their mother is rightfully considered one of the most beautiful women in the Muslim world. Sheikh Moza bint Nasser al-Misned- the second wife of the former Emir of Qatar is known not only as a beauty and an icon of style, but also as a very gifted politician, who takes a hidden, but quite a big part in many state issues. And therefore, it is not at all surprising that such attractive and gifted children were born to such a woman.
Sheikh Jasim bin Hamad bin Khalifa al-Thani was the Crown Prince of Qatar from 1996 to 2003, but later, realizing that he was unsuitable for the role, he renounced his heir status in favor of his younger brother, the current Emir of Qatar Tamima al-Thani.
He was educated at the British Royal Academy in Sandhurst, then returned to his homeland and took up charity work. He is now the Honorary President of the Qatar National Society Cancer Control (QNCS), and is also involved in environmental issues.
Unfortunately, Sheikh Jasim has already chosen his first wife. She was a representative of the same dynasty, sheikh Butaina bint Ahmad Al Thani Sheikh's daughter Hamada bin Ali al-Thani. The couple already have three children. But as we know
The word "sheikh" brings to mind oriental tales, and the life of real sheikhs, in fact, is the same tale in which untold riches are combined with beauty, family ties, ancient traditions and advanced technologies. In this issue you will find the richest sheikhs in the world.
Sheikh Khalifa bin Zayed Al Nahyan
$18 billion
It's hard to imagine, but 18 billion is nothing compared to other capitals to which Al Nahyan is related. For example, the total fortune of his family is estimated at 150 billion dollars, and the capitalization of the investment fund, whose curator is the sheikh, exceeds 875 billion.
Al Nahyan - in every sense big man, he is Emir of Abu Dhabi and President of the United Arab Emirates. He became the head of state 13 years ago, but has ruled the UAE since 1990, since his father retired. Sheikh in his native country is highly valued, and literally: the most-most skyscraper in the world Burj Khalifa is named after him.

Hamdan bin Mohammed bin Rashid Al Maktoum
$18 billion
The 34-year-old heir to the throne of the Emirate of Dubai, Sheikh Hamdan, is a socialite no worse than Prince Harry. He is rich, travels a lot, leads Instagram. And he knows how to do good. Patronage of the autism center, large donations to charitable purposes - this is also Hamdan.
The third important aspect of the life of the heir to the throne is extreme entertainment. The Sheikh's Instagram is constantly updated with reports of jumping from a height, demonstrating himself in the seat of a pilot of a jet aircraft or a Formula 1 car. But Hamdan's talent showed itself most clearly in equestrian sports: the prince won gold at the Asian Olympic Games. 
Sheikh Mohammed Hussein Ali Al Amoudi
$4.1 billion
He is a sheikh not by birthright, but by the fact of merit - he received the title for his achievements and wealth. Being second richest man Saudi Arabia, Ali al-Amoudi lives in two countries - Arabia and Ethiopia, where he was born and raised. He made money on oil, having built oil refineries in West Africa, as well as on growing everything in a row, from vegetables and fruits to coffee. The Sheikh's businesses supply, among other things, coffee for Starbucks and tea for Lipton.
Ali al-Amoudi also owns a chain of hotels and hospitals. It is seriously tied not only to African, Eastern countries: Sheikh invests in the economy of Western countries, in particular in Sweden. They also wrote that the arrival of the Swedish brand H&M in Ethiopia, where the labor force is very cheap, took place thanks to Ali al-Amoudi. With the personal life of a billionaire, everything is simple - married, no children. 
Sheikh Mansour bin Zayed Al Nahyan
$4.9 billion
46-year-old smiling Sheikh Mansour is a member of the ruling family of the Emirates, he is the half-brother of the president, Sheikh Khalifa. It is not surprising that a job was found for him in power - Mansour holds the post of prime minister of the country. In addition to state affairs, the sheikh is engaged in the oil industry - he manages the Abu Dhabi International Oil Investment Company. He also loves sports very much and does not spare money for it: the company, headed by Mansur, contains local teams in handball, football, volleyball and so on.
But this is all a trifle compared to Manchester City, yes, that same legendary British football team. Mansour is her master. Some say that this is a toy for the sheikh, others - that he is extremely serious. One thing is clear for sure: Mansour does not skimp on expenses. After all, why bother with money for a man who, as soon as the price of oil rises by one dollar, becomes half a billion richer? 
Sheikh Mohammed bin Rashid Al Maktoum
$4.5 billion
A person who has set a goal to turn the Emirates into an investment, social, cultural paradise can be satisfied with what he has already done for this. The Emirates airline, the Jumeirah Group travel holding, many transnational projects are the work of Sheikh Mohammed. And, in fact, the Burj Khalifa hotel is also an invention of the sheikh.
In addition to work, he knows a lot about entertainment - he is fond of horse racing, makes huge bets, owns an incredible Dubai yacht. Apparently, the ability to take everything from life was inherited by his son, Sheikh Hamdan, who was discussed at the very beginning. Well, the fact that Hamdan is four times richer than his father is not important. Still one family. 
Sheikh Mohammed bin Rashid Al Maktoum and Elizabeth II.
Reminds me of a real fairy tale. It is generally accepted that they bathe in luxury, without denying themselves anything. Comfortable planes, yachts, cars for the heirs to the throne in the UAE are a familiar and ordinary phenomenon. They can have fun as they please. However, the older generation of royal dynasties instills in their offspring not only a love for pompous recreation, but also develops in them a talent for wise government in the state so that it prospers every year, and its inhabitants feel secure and happy.
It was in this vein that the 33-year-old Prince Hamdan was brought up. He prefers an active lifestyle, skillfully distributing time between public affairs and his hobbies. Perhaps this is the secret of the fact that today the Principality of Dubai is an economic miracle of the 21st century? Thanks to whom could it appear on the territory of the UAE? Naturally, thanks to the competent policy of the ruling elite. And, of course, Dubai has made its contribution to this process. How does he manage to properly combine work and leisure so that there is enough time for both? Let's consider this question in more detail.
History of the dynasty
Not many people know that the mentioned Prince of Dubai is the son of the Arab Sheikh Mohammed Al Maktoum. The heir's father is the Prime Minister and Vice President of the Emirates. Historiographers claim that the sheikh's genealogy originates from the ancient tribes of the Bani Yas, who lived in the areas where the cities of Abu Dhabi and Dubai are currently located.
The Arab principality of Dubai was founded by Sheikh Maktun bin Butta in 1833. Since then this ancient family and rules them.
Curriculum vitae
The thirty-three-year-old Prince of Dubai was born on November 14, 1982. It should be noted that he is not the only heir in the family. Sheikh Hamdan has 9 sisters and 6 brothers. At home, the boy studied at one of the private colleges.
He spent the years of his youth in Western Europe, namely in Great Britain, where he received an excellent education. First, the prince of Dubai gnawed at the granite of science at the military school of the army, located in the English Sankhdhurst. He then graduated from the College of Economics in London and upon his return home from the School of Administration in Dubai.
State activity
Prince Sheikh Hamdan of Dubai took control of the principality on February 1, 2008, after his older brother "abdicated". In fairness, it should be noted that the parents assumed a similar outcome of the case, so they prepared the offspring in advance for the fact that he would take the reins of the principality into his own hands.
And the Prince of Dubai, Hamdan, justified the hopes placed on him: he is actively involved in the political life of his native country, trying not to miss a single congress and summit.
Back in 2006, he was offered the position of head of the Executive Council of the Emirate. In charge young man included supervision and oversight of government agencies. In this responsible position, the Crown Prince of Dubai, Hamdan, developed and proposed to his colleagues to adopt a strategic plan for the development of the Emirate for the coming years, which was done. The young manager showed his business qualities in another position - the head of the Sports Council of the Emirate of Dubai. He was also entrusted to lead the Institute of Young Entrepreneurs.
Social projects
Sheikh Hamdan devotes a lot of time to solving social problems. In particular, he funds several programs aimed at helping children and animals, often attending charity events. The crown prince even heads a specialized autism center in the Emirates.
Despite the high position and social status occupied in society, Sheikh Hamdan in life is a modest person who does not boast of his regalia and merits. That is why he has earned great prestige among the people.
Hobby
Dubai Hamdan has a lot of hobbies. He loves to surf the Persian Gulf on scooters and water skis. Also, the young man is interested in the underwater world, practicing scuba diving with pleasure.
Not everyone knows that the sheikh prefers to spend time falconry. He likes skydiving. He, as a rule, is engaged in this business over the artificial island of Prince, he has long been no stranger to jumping - long months of training have an effect.
Extreme
In addition, the heir to the throne in Dubai once tested the ultra-modern aircraft JETLEV-FLYER, which works in the air thanks to the power of giant water jets. The young man was able to rise up and “soar” against the backdrop of the famous seven-star hotel called Burj al Arab. Sheikh Hamdan loves to get a good dose of adrenaline from time to time.
The heir to the throne, among other things, an experienced horse rider. He participated in horse racing many times and won prizes at prestigious competitions on numerous occasions. In particular, the Sheikh won first place at the Asian Olympic Games.
He spends fabulous money on the purchase of camels, honoring the Bedouin traditions.
And, of course, the royal offspring cannot do without travel. However, he is more interested in extreme tourism. So, the Prince of Dubai has already traveled to the African continent, where he hunted lions with a photo gun. He visited and Russian Federation. In our country, he got acquainted with the traditions of falconry in more detail.
Romantic and altruist
Another unusual hobby of Sheikh Hamdan is versification. The young man inherited it from his father. The prince composes on romantic and patriotic themes. He creates his poems under the pseudonym Fazza ("success in everything"). Moreover, his talent as a poet has already been noted by the public.
The sphere of hobbies of the heir to the throne of Dubai also includes doing good deeds, that is, helping people. He is one of the participants in the creation of the "Society without Borders" structure, the purpose of which is to provide support to people with disabilities.
Back in 2006, the prince initiated the Integration project, which was supposed to help members of society with handicapped facilitate integration into the social environment.
The Sheikh has also taken care of improving road safety by toughening the penalties for those drivers who ignore the rules of the road. In this case, persistent violators will be deprived of a driver's license for up to 6 months.
Relationships with the opposite sex
Of course, the crown prince of Dubai, Sheikh Hamdan, is the dream of any girl, and if you consider that he is charming, handsome and smart, then a whole queue of the fairer sex will line up in an attempt to win his heart. However, Eastern men are wayward, temperamental, and the heir to the throne is no exception.
At the same time, the young man keeps secret the features of his personal life. And girls would give a lot to find out who the wife of the Prince of Dubai is? Earlier, the press wrote that the heart of the "heir to the throne" was not occupied by anyone.
Also, the media mentioned that the sheikh makes rather strict requirements for his potential chosen one, these are the traditions of the East. However, religion allows the sheikh to have as many wives as he wants, so talking about his love interests is quite difficult. Formally, women in the Emirates are not infringed on their rights, but still they dominate here, so the wife is obliged to unquestioningly obey her husband.
And yet, after some time, he revealed the secret of his personal life, saying that his engagement took place in infancy. Such an odious statement was once made by the Prince of Dubai, Sheikh Hamdan! The wife of the heir to the throne is his maternal cousin. Her name is Sheikha bint Said bin Thani Al Maktoum. Newspapers several times published photographs in which a young man was depicted with a stranger, whose face was hidden from prying eyes.
