    On April 25, the daughter of His Highness Sheikh Hamdan bin Rashid Al Maktoum, former Deputy Prime Minister and Minister of Finance of the United Arab Emirates, and Deputy Ruler of Dubai, Sheikha Hissa, married Sheikh Maktoum bin Majid Al Maktoum.

    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.
    In collaboration with MOD Design Events, a custom-built structure was meticulously crafted to bring the Sheikha’s vision to life. This magnificent structure, situated within the enchanting grounds of The Zabeel Palace, was designed to accommodate six hundred distinguished Sheikhas from the GCCc region.

    Amidst the palace’s meticulously manicured gardens, MOD Design Events created a sprawling and awe-inspiring structure that embodied the essence of heritage and modernity. 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.

    MOD Design Events is a renowned luxury Maison situated in Dubai, U.A.E., founded and owned by Sanad Ibrahim & Mohammad Alhouri. The Maison specializes in creating luxurious event designs, including weddings, architecture, interiors, flowers, and all aspects of bespoke event design.

      Her Highness Sheikha Hissa bint Hamdan bin Rashid Al Maktoum, the daughter of His Highness Sheikh Hamdan bin Rashid Al Maktoum, the former Deputy Ruler of Dubai, is ensuring her late father’s legacy continues to live on.
      Attending the Sussex Stakes in the UK last week, Sheikha Hissa was cheering on horse Baaeed as he was victorious in coming first in Group 1.
      While her father may not have been able to be there in person, Her Highness made a touching tribute to Sheikh Hamdan when she was at the Sussex Stakes.
      In an interview with Racing TV following Baaeed’s win, the sheikha was seen wearing a badge with her father’s photo which was pointed out by the interviewer.

      “Is that a badge of your father you’ve got there?” the interviewer asked.
      “Yes, my father’s photo,” Sheikha Hissa replied.
      To which the interviewer said, “So, he comes with you…”
      “Always,” Sheikha Hissa replied, finishing her sentence.
      It was a special victory for Sheikha Hissa and Baaeed at the Sussex Stakes as the racehorse is directly from the lineage Sheikh Hamdan bred.
      “For me and my family he means the world,” Sheikha Hissa said of Baaeed’s victory. “It’s good to see one of our best horses coming from that lineage that my father worked hard on.”
      Sheikh Hamdan bin Rashid died last year. His passing was announced by his brother, His Highness Sheikh Mohammed bin Rashid Al Maktoum, the Vice President and Prime Minister of the UAE and the Ruler of Dubai.
      He was aged 75 at the time of his passing on March 24, 2022.

      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.
