    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.
    When the Crown Prince of Dubai isn’t looking after official cabinet matters or spending time with his family, he can be found seeking new adventures that challenge him as a fitness enthusiast.

    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.

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

    Lifestyle

    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.
