      Last week, His Highness shared a video, which was caught on camera by another onlooker, of Mr Ghafoor, a Talabat delivery driver, removing an obstruction of two concrete blocks from a busy intersection.
      Sheikh Hamdan referred to the individual’s good deed as “an act of goodness in Dubai to be praised” and called on his followers to help him find the man.

      He may have 14.5 million followers on Instagram and be one of the most high-profile royals in the UAE, but HH Sheikh Hamdan bin Mohammed bin Rashid Al Maktoum has proven even he can go incognito from time to time.
      Currently on holiday in the UK, the Crown Prince of Dubai has been spending ample amounts of time in London.
      Over the weekend, Sheikh Hamdan, affectionately known as Fazza, was spending time in the UK’s capital and was seemingly able to go about his day being unrecognised.
      His Highness shared a selfie on Instagram with his friend Badr Ateej riding the crowded London Underground.
      “We’ve got a long way to go and Badr is already bored,” he said in the caption of the post.

      However, just a couple of weeks ago, the Crown Prince of Dubai was recognised around central London as he was driving.
      In a video captured by Sheikh Hamdan’s friend Ahmad Jaber Al Harbi, the royal is seen interacting with two fans.
      Sheikh Hamdan was in his car driving in the city when he was stopped for some photos by the two individuals, who also happened to be Dubai residents.
      Not ever one to say no to a photo, Dubai’s Crown Prince enthusiastically posed with the fans, even helping them to get the right shot.
      At one point in the video, the male fan says “Sorry to bother you” but Fazza responded saying, “No, it’s okay”, also shaking his hand.

      Regular visitor
      His Highness is a regular visitor to the United Kingdom, as are many other members of the Dubai royal family.
      Sheikh Hamdan’s father, His Highness Sheikh Mohammed bin Rashid Al Maktoum, the Vice President and Prime Minister of the UAE and Ruler of Dubai, is also currently in the UK and was seen walking around London with an entourage over the weekend.
      The Dubai royals have also been enjoying some quality time together.
      Last week, Sheikh Hamdan, shared a snap on Instagram with his father and his two children, Rashid and Shaikha, spending time together in the UK.

      In the forefront of the photo, the twins are seen sitting in a pushchair, with doting dad Sheikh Hamdan and grandfather Sheikh Mohammed behind.
      Sheikh Hamdan captioned the post with three heart emojis: one red, one blue and one pink, representing the Dubai Ruler and his two grandchildren.

      In the first photograph, the little one is seen with his dad petting one of the horses at the stable. But it’s the second photo which shows just how grown-up Fazza’s son has gotten as he was seen holding his dad’s hand, walking alongside him in the fields.
      Sheikh Hamdan simply captioned the post with a blue heart and a horse emoji, suggesting it was just 14-month-old Rashid was with him at the stables.

      Video: Sheikha Hissa Al Maktoum celebrates major victory at UK racing event

      The Dubai royal family is known for their affinity and passion for horses, some of which has largely been shaped by the late His Highness Sheikh Hamdan bin Rashid Al Maktoum, the former Deputy Ruler of Dubai.
      The late sheikh was also the founder of Shadwell Racing, a global racing and breeding enterprise involving both Thoroughbred and Arabian horses, which has seen success worldwide.
      His Highness’ legacy lived on at the recent Sussex Stakes in the UK, where stallion Baaeed was victorious and is regarded as perhaps one of the best racehorses in the world.

      The late sheikh’s daughter, Her Highness Sheikha Hissa bint Hamdan bin Rashid Al Maktoum, was at the race reverently watching on as Baaeed triumphantly crossed the finish line in Group 1.
      “For me and my family he means the world,” Sheikha Hissa told Racing TV following Baaeed’s victory, adding that it was a special moment to see the racehorse’s triumph, particularly as he’s from the lineage her later father bred.
      “It’s good to see one of our best horses coming from that lineage that my father worked hard on,” she said.

      Celebrating the victory of four-year-old Baaeed with Sheikh Hissa was jockey Jim Crowley and trainer William Haggas.
      Also close to Sheikha Hissa was her father, whom she paid tribute to with a badge of his photo on her pale pink abaya.
      We’re sure her father would be incredibly proud of his daughter as she continues to champion his legacy.

      His Highness Sheikh Mohammed bin Rashid Al Maktoum, the Vice President and Prime Minister of the UAE and Ruler of Dubai, is known for being very much in touch with the people of the UAE and a new viral video has proven exactly why.
      In a video posted to social media platform TikTok, footage was captured of the Dubai Ruler on a recent outing in Motor City. His Highness, in the company of a few others, is seen walking towards his car, which is emblazoned with the well-known number one number plate, opening the door and getting in.
      While the action in itself is very simple, it speaks volumes, as many users noted in the comments of the video, which has now been viewed over one million times.

      Sheikh Mohammed has been lauded as a “humble”  and “great” leader by viewers.
      “Because people love him, he doesn’t need much security,” one user commented.
      “You see the [difference] no 50 security members and cameras everywhere [because] he made sure the country is a safe place for everyone,” another said.
      Another also added, “What a great leader, which is [a] lesson to [the] world.”
      The safest place in the world
      The safety of UAE citizens and residents has continually been reflected in the leadership of the country.
      Last year in November in an official report by Gallup, it was found the UAE is the safest place to walk alone, with 95 per cent of the country’s residents feel safe, especially when walking alone at night.
      Sheikh Mohammed himself shared his pride in the ranking, noting how safe the UAE was for women and how they can walk home, be it day or night, “without fear”.
      “Security is a blessing and safety is tranquillity,” he said. “If a woman wanders alone at any hour of the day or night without fear, she knows that she is in the Emirates.”
