      With a plethora of restaurants available in Dubai, it can be hard to choose where to go.
      However, we’ll happily go to any place that’s approved by His Highness Sheikh Mohammed bin Rashid Al Maktoum, the Vice President and Prime Minister of the UAE and Ruler of Dubai.
      Here’s ten restaurants in the emirate that are approved by His Highness.
      Alaya

      Known for his love for food, His Highness Sheikh Mohammed bin Rashid Al Maktoum, the Vice President and Prime Minister of the UAE and Ruler of Dubai, has given Chef Izu Ani’s latest restaurant a royal thumbs up. In a video shared on Chef Izu’s Instagram, Sheikh Mohammed is seen exchanging a handshake with the restauranteur outside new venue Alaya, whilst also sharing a few moments of laughter together. Masterminded by Chef Izu and one of Emirates Man’s former cover stars Evgeny Kuzin, the concept is nothing short of extraordinary, with a combination of Mediterranean and Middle Eastern influences.
      CÉ LA VI

      This world-famous Singaporean restaurant received the royal seal of approval after Sheikh Mohammed visited in February 2020. Known for their contemporary Asian dishes and incredible views of Dubai’s sweeping skyline, the restaurant is located on the 54th floor terrace of Address Sky Views. Posing against the outdoor infinity pool, this restaurant is one of the most popular fine-dining spots in Dubai.
      Flow

      Known for their wide range of vegan, dairy-free and gluten options, this restaurant has branches all across Dubai. As a healthy eating hub in the emirate, the ruler of Dubai visited along with his son, Sheikh Hamad and enjoyed a cup of coffee while interacting with the staff.
      Shanghai Me

      The Ruler of Dubai was seen dining out at Shanghai ME located in DIFC with others in September 2020. This establishment is famed for its culinary classics of East Asia, which all have a playful twist.
      Gaia

      In 2021, Sheikh Mohammed was spotted out in DIFC at Gaia, a restaurant founded by Chef Izu Ani. The venue serves up a fresh take on Mediterranean cuisine including seafood orzo, baked feta cheese, indulgent truffle potatoes and the unmissable mille-feuille that is nothing like you’ve ever tried before – trust us.
      Zuma

      As one of the top restaurants in Dubai, it’s no surprise Zuma has Sheikh Mohammed’s stamp of approval, who is believed to have visited the establishment on multiple occasions. Famed for its contemporary Japanese cuisine, Zuma has been a leader in the Dubai F&B space for over 12 years.
      Siraj

      Known for its authentic Emirati cuisine with a contemporary twist, Siraj is another Sheikh Mohammed-approved restaurant. It’s located within the Souk Al Bahar, the world-famous Arabian Souk overlooking the Dubai Fountain.
      Farzi Cafe

      His Highness has previously been spotted at this famous restaurant in City Walk known for its fabulous Indian cuisine.
      Fish Beach Taverna

      This Mediterranean beach hotspot will transport you to Greece in no time. With an Aegean menu of Turkish food with the stunning backdrop of the Arabian night sky. This fine-dining seafood has welcomed both Sheikh Mohammed and Sheikh Hamdan in a course of two days as both the royals enjoyed various dishes across the menu in a relaxed setting. Located by the peaceful shores of Le Meridian Mina Seyahi, this restaurant is most definitely a must-visit to enjoy with friends and family.
      Baku Café

      When opened in 2017, Sheikh Mohammed paid a visit to this eatery that pays homage to the cuisine from Azerbaijan. As a popular dining spot, this royal was amongst the first to visit this traditional restaurant. Situated in the heart of City Walk, there a variety of dishes to try such as the the cafe’s baklava, stuffed vine leaves, and a delicious plate of lamb.

      The UAE royals have guaranteed this restaurant is a must-visit.
      Known for his love for food, His Highness Sheikh Mohammed bin Rashid Al Maktoum, the Vice President and Prime Minister of the UAE and Ruler of Dubai, has given Chef Izu Ani’s latest restaurant a royal thumbs up.
      In a video shared on Chef Izu’s Instagram, Sheikh Mohammed is seen exchanging a handshake with the restauranteur outside new venue Alaya, whilst also sharing a few moments of laughter together.
      “Happiness is found in the smaller moments, the beauty of sharing our time with others, and conversations that touch and inspire us,” he also captioned the post. “I am so grateful for all of the support we have received from His Highness and the country that we are so blessed to live in.”

      Sheikh Mohammed’s visit comes a few days after his son, His Highness Sheikh Hamdan bin Mohammed bin Rashid Al Maktoum, the Crown Prince of Dubai paid a visit to Alaya.
      Masterminded by Chef Izu and one of Emirates Man’s former cover stars Evgeny Kuzin, the concept is nothing short of extraordinary, with a combination of Mediterranean and Middle Eastern influences. Inspired by their travels, each dish is prepared with the freshest ingredients.
      After only opening last month, the restaurant has gained quite a bit of traction as the duo has brought a new concept to DIFC. By taking each visitor on a culinary journey, the warm inviting space, ensures guests feel at home from the moment they enter.
      Having previously visited other fine-dining establishments under the same group, Sheikh Mohammed is known to be a fan of Gaia and Shanghai Me.
      The restaurant is now well truly on the scene, especially if Sheikh Mohammed and Sheikh Hamdan have both paid a visit.

      Her Majesty Queen Elizabeth II, the longest-ever reigning monarch of the United Kingdom, has died aged 96.
      His Highness Sheikh Mohammed bin Rashid Al Maktoum, Vice President and Prime Minister of the UAE and Ruler of Dubai offered his heartfelt condolences to the British royal family minutes after the news was shared by The Royal Family on Twitter.
      In his message, Sheikh Mohammed said, “We join the world in mourning the passing of Her Majesty Queen Elizabeth, a global icon who represented the finest qualities of her nation and people. Her incredible life of service and duty to the United Kingdom is unparalleled in our modern world.”

      Buckingham Palace confirmed the heartbreaking news in a statement, this evening.
      “The Queen died peacefully at Balmoral this afternoon,” the statement read. “The King and The Queen Consort will remain at Balmoral this evening and will return to London tomorrow.”
      Her Majesty had a monumental life, devoted to the service of the United Kingdom and the Commonwealth of Nations.
      The Prince of Wales, who is now king, succeeds his late mother as monarch. The late Queen laid out her hopes for the future when she marked her Platinum Jubilee.
      The Queen’s reign and influence across the global stage for over seven decades was nothing short of iconic and we hope she may rest in peace.

      His Highness Sheikh Hamdan bin Mohammed bin Rashid Al Maktoum, the Crown Prince of Dubai, has shared some adorable new photographs of his father doting on his grandchildren, twins Rashid bin Hamdan bin Mohammed Al Maktoum and Shaikha bint Hamdan bin Mohammed Al Maktoum.
      In the photos, His Highness Sheikh Mohammed bin Rashid Al Maktoum, the Vice President and Prime Minister of the UAE and Ruler of Dubai, is seen spending quality time with the little ones whilst they holiday in the UK as a family.
      The first photograph shows the Dubai Ruler with little Shaikha, helping her to walk. The second photo shared by Sheikh Hamdan shows Sheikh Mohammed with young Rashid, playing in the garden.

      Along with the photos, Sheikh Hamdan, who is affectionately known as Fazza, shared a poem Sheikh Mohammed penned about twins Rashid and Shaikha in Arabic.
      The Dubai Ruler himself shared the poem on his official Instagram page alongside a photograph previously shared by Sheikh Hamdan of the four enjoying quality time in the UK together.

      Summer in London
      Fazza has been enjoying a long holiday in London over the summer months.
      Just a couple of weeks ago, he 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.

      A few weeks prior, 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.

      His Highness is a regular visitor to the United Kingdom, as are many other members of the Dubai royal family.

      His Highness Sheikh Hamdan bin Mohammed bin Rashid Al Maktoum is no stranger to sharing tidbits of his family life with his loyal fans.
      Having shared some snippets from his summer holiday in the UK with twins Rashid and Shaikha, the Crown Prince of Dubai is also spending quality time with his father, His Highness Sheikh Mohammed bin Rashid Al Maktoum, the Vice President and Prime Minister of the UAE and Ruler of Dubai.
      Sheikh Hamdan, affectionately known as Fazza, shared a snap on Instagram with his father and his two children spending time together in the UK.
      In the forefront of the photo twins Rashid and Shaikha are seen sitting in a pushchair, with doting dad Sheikh Hamdan and grandfather Sheikh Mohammed behind.

      Last week, he posted a few snaps from his recent outing with his horses in the countryside where his son Rashid accompanied him.

      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.
      Rashid and Shaikha celebrated their first birthday back in May.

      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.”
