It appears HH Sheikh Hamdan bin Mohammed bin Rashid Al Maktoum has escaped the final weeks of the sweltering heat in the UAE for the cooler weather in the United Kingdom.
The Crown Prince of Dubai recently shared photos with winning horses Ghaiyyath and Pinatubo on his Instagram account tagging Godolphin, the horse-racing company founded by his father HH Sheikh Mohammed bin Rashid, Vice President and Ruler of Dubai. The Godolphin stables in the UK are located in Newmarket, Suffolk.
Other photos were also posted of Sheikh Hamdan playing paddle tennis at what appeared to be a country estate in the UK.
The Dubai royal family are no strangers to travelling the UK, particularly as Sheikh Mohammed owns a home in Surrey and he’s a big fan of horse racing.
Last year Sheikh Hamdan made a lengthy trip to Scotland in the UK and he’s since posted many photos from the holiday.
While it was never confirmed where His Highness was staying, Sheikh Mohammed also owns a Highland estate on the Isle of Skye – an island off the coast of the north of Scotland.
Back in June, the Crown Prince of Dubai showed off an Emirates first-class plane ticket heading to London Heathrow.
The ticket showed the date of the flight as Monday, June 1, along with the time of the flight, 7.45am, and his name – Al Maktoum/ShkHamdan.
However, the ticket was a teaser as Sheikh Hamdan was appearing at Dubai Airport to share how the emirate was “taking off again”.
On the same day, he posted the photo of the ticket, the Chairman of the Executive Council led a meeting of the council at Dubai airport Terminal 3, highlighting how the airport is the “beating heart of the world”.
“We have learnt from Vice President and Prime Minister of the UAE and Ruler of Dubai, His Highness Sheikh Mohammed bin Rashid Al Maktoum, to defeat the impossible, and to turn the challenge into an opportunity to consolidate our achievements and benefit from our readiness and to rapidly adapt with the new reality,” he explained.
“This experience has provided us with a significant boost ahead to maintain our achievements so Dubai remains the best city in various vital sectors, and to start a new phase with strength and competitiveness.”
Since then Dubai’s borders have reopened, allowing tourists to once again enter the country. Of course, precautionary measures are in place with everyone entering the country required to have a negative COVID-19 test or they must self-isolate for 14 days.
