      Away from the hustle-bustle of Dubai, newlyweds Sheikha Mahra and Sheikh Mana have escaped to the United Kingdom for a cosy countryside getaway.
      Ever since their wedding, the couple has been seen spending quality time together. From exploring fun activities like visiting a shooting range club within Dubai to their recent water sports adventure in Greece, the royal couple is all about trying new things and making memories.
      Recently, for a rather quiet break, Sheikh Mana and Sheikha Mahra chose to spend their days nestled in the luscious countryside of the U.K. In a glimpse of their downtime, Sheikh Mana shared pictures of their luxurious estate, where the couple was seen enjoying each other’s company. Evenings in the balcony or long drives in the woods, it all looked like a picture-perfect vacation.

      When did the couple get married?
      His Highness Sheikh Mohammed bin Rashid Al Maktoum’s daughter Sheikha Mahra got engaged to Sheikh Mana Bin Mohammed Bin Rashid Bin Mana Al Maktoum in March. On April 5 2023, both Sheikha Mahra and Sheikh Mana shared that they celebrated their Katb Al-Kitaab — the official marriage ceremony and signing of the marriage contract through social media.
      Her husband, Sheikh Mana Bin Mohammed Bin Rashid Bin Mana Al Maktoum has served a year in the UAE Armed Forces-National Service. Currently, he is pursuing a degree in Security and Risk Management from the American University in the Emirates.

      His Highness Sheikh Hamdan bin Mohammed bin Rashid Al Maktoum, the Crown Prince of Dubai, is marking a milestone birthday this year, turning 40 years old.
      While it’s a big birthday to celebrate, Sheikh Hamdan, affectionately known as Fazza, is ensuring he’s surrounded by family, including his twins Rashid and Shaikha.
      The one-and-a-half-year-old twins ensured they wished their doting dad a very big happy birthday with some balloons.
      The Crown Prince then shared a couple of photos on social media of Rashid and Shaikha, who are both now walking, holding the balloons.

      The first photo was of little Rashid holding a pink ‘Happy Birthday’ heart-shaped balloon for his father. The second photo showed Shaikha with the same balloon as well as a multicoloured circular balloon also with the words ‘Happy Birthday’.
      A doting dad
      Sheikh Hamdan became a dad for the first time in May 2021 after welcoming the twins.

      The doting father shared the first image of his children a couple of days after their birth was announced, where he was seen cradling the twins in both of his arms.
      “To God…Praise be to God and blessings,” he captioned the image.
      Since then, the father of two has taken the twins on a number of trips with him, including to the UK where he spent the majority of the summer.

      His Highness Sheikh Mohammed bin Rashid Al Maktoum, the Vice President and Prime Minister of the UAE and Ruler of Dubai watched a host of students take to the stage on Thursday at the Arab Reading Challenge’s closing ceremony which took place at Dubai Opera.
      One reading, in particular, appeared to touch the Dubai Ruler’s heart which was about his late mother, Her Highness Sheikha Latifa bint Hamdan Al Nahyan.
      The Arab Reading champion from 2018, Maryam Amjoun, took to the stage to read an excerpt of His Highness’ book My Story which was about his mother.
      “My father lost his life partner for over four decades. He lost his support, his darling, friend, companion and lover… The strong, firm, steadfast victor who was never weakened or shattered, suffered greatly from the loss of his Latifa,” the except read.
      In footage which was shared by the Dubai Ruler’s sister, Her Highness Sheikh Fatima bint Rashid bin Saeed Al Maktoum, on social media, Sheikh Mohammed is seen to be visibly moved by the reading, wiping tears away from his face with a handkerchief.

      Later on, the Dubai Ruler crowned the Arab Reading Challenge winner, Sham Al Bakour from Syria.
      It was the sixth edition of the Arab Reading Challenge which saw over 22 million students enter, the highest number of participants ever registered in a single edition of the challenge since its inception.
      “Our precious Arabic language is in the safe hands of the millions of Arab students and the thousands of volunteers that spare no effort to make this Arab literacy initiative a success,” His Highness said of the challenge.
      “The Arab Reading Challenge succeeded in creating the largest knowledge movement in our Arab world. The Arabic book has been taken off the shelf, and put in the hands of our youth, to inspire hearts and minds and light up the path.”

      One of the biggest technology conferences in the Middle East has taken centre stage in Dubai this week.
      This year, the Gulf Information Technology Exhibition (GITEX) unveiled a flying car, the rise in NFTs and Metaverse and has attracted over 100,000 visitors, one of which includes Her Highness Sheikha Shamma bint Sultan bin Khalifa Al Nahyan.
      The Abu Dhabi royal attended the conference earlier this week where she discussed how tecnology is “accelerating sustainable practices”.

      In the UAE, we have always challenged ourselves to progress on all fronts, and forums like GITEX have been vital in inspiring both innovation and creativity,” she said, sahring photos from her time at the exhibition.
      She continued, “The cutting-edge technologies being demonstrated at this year’s exhibition were truly impressive. I look forward to seeing these innovations be used as a force for good as they are integrated into our daily lives.”
      At GITEX, Sheikha Shamma explored many of the different booths on display, which included a futuristic car.
      A Cambridge alum
      A few months ago, Sheikha Shamma graduated from one of the world’s top universities, Cambridge University in the UK.
      The granddaughter of the late UAE President, His Highness Sheikh Khalifa bin Zayed Al Nahyan, shared the exciting news on Instagram, revealing she had graduated with a Master’s in Philosophy in Modern Middle Eastern Studies.

      “Words can’t describe how honoured I am to have graduated yesterday from Cambridge University with an MPhil in Modern Middle Eastern Studies,” she said, also sharing her gratitude for her professors and lecturers at the university.
      “Our many discussions have been such an important part of deepening my understanding and appreciation for the region I’ve grown up in,” she added.

      The touching way Sheikha Hissa paid tribute to her late father Sheikh Hamdan

      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.

      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.”
