      Summer in the UAE is unusually quiet as everyone is trying to escape the scorching heat. Travelling is on everyone’s agenda (including the Royals).
      This time of the year, Royals from the region are found enjoying their escapades in different parts of the world. From spending downtime in the Britain countryside to marvelling at the beauty of the French Riviera in Cannes, it is their downtime before resorting back to serving the people.
      2023 was no different — earlier this month, H.H. Sheikh Mohammed bin Rashid Al Maktoum was spotted on the streets of London, meeting and greeting his ardent admirers. Taking a stroll in Hyde Park, eating at popular joints and mingling with the locals, the Dubai ruler sure knows how to win hearts.

      Speaking of ruling from the heart, the Crown Prince of Dubai was also captured in kindness when he made an overwhelmed fan smile with his gesture, while on holiday. Fazza was spotted making a crying fan laugh in a video, after she couldn’t contain her excitement.

      When it comes to engaging with the monarchy across the world, there’s a set of rules one must always engage in. The UAE Royals are known for humanising the bond they share with their people beyond the protocol.
      Recently, HH Sheikh Mohamed bin Zayed Al Nahyan, the President of the UAE was also seen interacting with a large crowd in Egypt, sans any security. His Highness patiently obliged for pictures and spoke to the people without a security guard in sight, during his visit to the North Coast of Egypt.
      It is inspiring to see the leaders from this part of the world, sharing their kindness everywhere they go.
      ICYMI, scroll through the above gallery to know how all the UAE Royals are spending their summer.

      Despite having grown up in the lap of luxury, this Dubai Royal loves to spend an optimum amount of his time in nature.

      Through a detailed reel, the Royal Prince captured his journey from the start to the end — taking his 15.9 million followers along for the ride. The video showcases his playful side, as he interacts with animals and takes in the wonders of nature in a free-spirited demeanour.
      Even when he isn’t trekking around the world or jumping off of planes, his choice of activities back home is also always connected with nature and all its species.The father-of-three can often be seen taking his children to the wildlife safaris or spending quality time with his horses — the Crown Prince also happens to be a licensed equestrian and professional horseback rider.

      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. The discussions about the design commenced in late March, and the development process began in mid-April, progressing through a series of intricate and complex stages.

This magnificent structure, situated within the enchanting grounds of The Zabeel Palace, was designed to accommodate six hundred distinguished Sheikhas from the GCCc region.

The structure was adorned with over six million stems of lavender, flown in from Paris, alongside impressive seven-meter-high stone-carved artworks, resonating with the evening’s theme. This captivating blend of past and present showcased a mesmerizing symbiosis.
      The custom-built structure incorporated essential facilities, such as functioning comfort stations, exquisitely hand-carved stone dining tables, a grand powder room entrance walkway, and an abundance of over 30,000 hydrangeas and assorted blooms, all elegantly arranged in shades of lavender to complement the evening ambiance. The structure also featured a magnificent glass dome, tailor-made to the precise specifications of MOD Design Events, completing the bespoke experience for the occasion.
