      Turkish Handé Erçel goes back in time to the Roaring Twenties with a Great Gatsby-themed party to enjoy her 30th birthday in an elaborate setting.
      A series of stunning photos from the night were shared on the actress’ Instagram account to her 31 million fans.
      By taking it back in time to the period of the 1920s, Erçel bought the American writer F. Scott Fitzgerald’s story back to life as she looked beyond gorgeous in her matching looks. She also had an exquisite silver cake topped with red cherries and long candles to complement the evening.
      The superstar was donned in two completely different white-hued looks. In the first, Erçel wore a jacket and hot-shorts and held a stick. However, while cutting the “white” cake, the Turkish actress wore a short white dress. In both outlooks, the model made a special hairstyle to match the party theme.
      A host of guests attended “The Great Birthday’ and were also seen wearing clothes to match the theme party of the Turkish actress. Hande Erçel’s sister Gamze was of course one of the main party guests who attended the celebration along with her husband Caner Yıldırım.
      Swipe through the gallery to see snippets of the lavish celebrations.

      November 14, 2023 marks His Highness Sheikh Hamdan bin Mohammed bin Rashid Al Maktoum’s 41st birthday.
      To commemorate this day, we’ve paid a tribute to his interest in travel by highlighting all his adventurous escapades.
      From mountainous regions to adrenaline-fueled spots, Fazza’s travels around the world exude his passion for exploration and adventure.
      After digging through the archives, Emirates Woman has curated a list of all the potential places to add to your bucket list from Sheikh Hamdan’s feed.
      United Kingdom

      Sheikh Hamdan has been seen in London quite a few times over the years and even recently made a visit with his twins, Rashid and Shaika, to the Godolphin stables. Having previously studied at Royal Military College, Sandhurst, Fazza has a strong connection to the UK and is often seen taking a trip to one of his favourite destinations.
      Tanzania

      Exploring both nature and immersing himself in the culture, Sheikh Hamdan’s picture-perfect safari trip to Tanzania looked beyond idyllic. While being surrounded by wildlife, the thrill-seeker shared a series of clips while jumping over a large pool of water and exploring the dense forests. The trip was indeed an adventurous one with all the outdoor activities the royal was seen trying out.
      Japan

      In 2019, Sheikh Hamdan made a visit east to Japan. Regarded as a highly-trained fitness enthusiast, the Dubai royal was seen posing with bronze sculptures of rugby player Michael Leitch and sumo wrestler Tochinoshin Tsuyoshi. He was also captured taking some classes and trying some delicious food, he’s undoubtedly ticked off a host of must-visit venues on his trip to Japan. From grazing through the enchanted streets or travelling by the high-speed bullet train to Tokyo, make a note of all the must-dos on your next trip.
      South Korea

      Nearly three years ago, in 2019, Sheikh Hamdan paid a visit to Seoul in South Korea. He posted a photo of himself in front of Gyeongbokgung Palace, one of the country’s must-visit attractions. Along with his Uncle Saeed, they visited historic spots in the city, as well as enjoyed matcha milkshakes, a very popular drink of choice in East Asia.
      Estonia

      In 2018, Sheikh Hamdan took his riding skills international, participating in a 160km endurance race in Estonia. During his travels in the Eastern European country, he also shared a series of photos of him cycling in Estonia along with his friend Saeed Jabber Al Harbi.
      Uzbekistan

      There’s no doubt, that Sheikh Hamdan is always seen posing in the great outdoors. His recent trip to Uzbekistan in November 2021 consisted of all the engaging activities such as camping, falconry, exploring nature and also visiting some of the local residents in the country.
      USA

      Back in 2018, Dubai’s Crown Prince travelled to the USA visiting popular cities like Chicago and New York City.
      Denmark

      Spotted on this self-governing archipelago, which is part of the Kingdom of Denmark, the Faroe Islands is known for its picturesque coastal cliffs and gorgeous open skies. Seen taking a selfie with nature, this popular photo was all over social media.
      Canada

      Exploring the peaks of British Columbia, the royal was seen enjoying this snow-filled holiday on Canada’s ski slopes back in 2019. This stunning wintry escape is everything one looks for in the cooler months. Snowboarding, snow-cover buildings and spruce trees were some of the elements which truly made this holiday complete.
      Italy

      Seen posing in the popular frame shot with the Leaning Tower of Pisa, Sheikh Hamdan visited Italy in 2017, as the snap was captured with perfect precision. From relishing some delicious pasta to walking on the cobbled steps, this beautiful destination is one to add to your list too.
