    On April 25, the daughter of His Highness Sheikh Hamdan bin Rashid Al Maktoum, former Deputy Prime Minister and Minister of Finance of the United Arab Emirates, and Deputy Ruler of Dubai, Sheikha Hissa, married Sheikh Maktoum bin Majid Al Maktoum.

    The wedding was attended by His Highness Sheikh Mohammed bin Rashid Al Maktoum, Vice President and Prime Minister of the UAE and Ruler of Dubai; His Highness Sheikh Hamdan bin Mohammed bin Rashid Al Maktoum, Crown Prince of Dubai; and other pivotal members of the royal family.
    Known for their impeccable taste, the Dubai Royal family is all about one-of-a-kind grandeur.  Marble-engraved invitations with gold arabic scriptures were sent out for the much-awaited nuptials.

    MOD Designs, a prestigious luxury design company based in Dubai, had the honour of organising the highly esteemed Henna night for Her Royal Highness Sheikha Hissa.
