Some consider him handsome and an athlete, and some consider him crazy. After watching one video from his Instagram, I was very surprised - how can the heir risk himself like that? However, he does this all the time.
He is only one of thirteen children and not the oldest, but in early February 2008 he was announced as the Prince of Dubai. His name is Hamdan ibn Mohammed Al Maktoum. Athlete, poet and just an extreme sports enthusiast. He has 4.6 million subscribers on Instagram. Some consider him a darling of fate, and some envy him.
In general, I became interested in his personality after flying on such a device. It's called "Jetman" and is the brainchild of a Swiss pilot-inventor.
Here's a video of Hamdan flying around the city on a jet wing.
Today he is 34 years old and he definitely has a fun life. He has official positions such as chairman of the Dubai City Executive Council, head of the hedge fund HN Capital LLP, and president of the newest university named after him - Hamdan Bin Mohammed Smart University.
The prince has many hobbies. It's enough for everything at once. If you look at his photos, you can see that he loves to skydive, hunt with a falcon and even dive with a speargun. He has exotic animals at home. In the photo you can see white tigers, lions and camels. He is also a horse breeder and owns breeding stallions that often win races.
Quadcopter and sports car racing.
It seems that extreme sports is his main hobby.
Luxury is only a small part of his life. Hamdan travels constantly and sometimes on his yacht. Stays in the best hotels and goes to the most colorful places on the planet.
His passion for photography attracts a huge audience.
Everything you need for a good photo:
- Good topic
- Good lens
- And a little patience

Instagram Hamdan bin Mohammed Al Maktoum
Hamdan bin Mohammed bin Rashid al-Maktoum is the full name of the crown prince, an eligible bachelor of the planet, a billionaire and simply a handsome man. How does an Arab prince live?
1. Sheikh is one of 13 children, has 6 brothers and 9 sisters. The heir's fortune is estimated at a tidy sum, just under 20 billion US dollars. Prince Hamdan was born to Prime Minister and Vice President Mohammed bin Rashid Al Maktoum and his first wife. This young man is very popular because of his extraordinary image, close to ordinary people.
2 Like many famous children of heirs, the sheikh was educated in Great Britain, lived for some time in London, after which he returned home, where responsibilities and affairs awaited him.
3. As befits a crown prince, he was prepared for the ruling post from childhood. So the young sheikh takes an active part in the life of his country, regularly appearing at various congresses, to which he invariably wears a kandura and arafat.
4. But, when the officialdom is over, the prince transforms into a simple, smiling guy who passionately loves Formula 1 and horses.
5. The Sheikh is confident in the saddle, which even led to his victory at the Olympic Games.
6. It is quite natural that, despite his European education, the prince is different from other crown princes of other countries! For example, his personal life is kept in the strictest confidence.
7. But you can often see him with small children - these are the sheikh’s nieces and nephews, with whom he willingly takes pictures. In addition, you can see Hamdan surrounded by tiger cubs, falcons and Arabian horses. In short, luxury worthy of the gods.
8. But despite his wealth, Hamdan does not forget about the poor and is involved in charity work, overseeing several relief funds.
9. It is known that he is engaged to a certain relative on his mother’s side. It should be noted that the bride is chosen by the parents, according to Arab traditions, so it is not surprising that the future of the prince has long been decided.
10. However, sheikhs are allowed to have as many wives as they like, but most likely this will also be the choice of his family, and not his romantic interest.
11. Now the prince holds the post of chairman of the Dubai Council, and he is also the president of the sports committee.
12. Hamdan’s versatile talents also extend to poetry. His Highness writes romantic poetry.
13. How well the prince stays in the saddle brought him first place in horse riding.
14. The prince also breeds camels, which in itself is a rather expensive hobby.
15. It is logical that His Highness flies exclusively by private jet.
16. The prince’s list of hobbies includes scuba diving with an elephant.
17. In addition to overseeing charitable foundations, the sheikh supports people with disabilities.
18. The white tiger cub is the prince’s favorite.

22. Hunting with falcons
23. Hamdan is an excellent photographer, always ready to give advice to beginners in this business.
24. With a camera in hand
25. Diving is also the heir’s hobby.
Reminds me of a “real fairy tale”. It is generally accepted that they bask in luxury, denying themselves nothing. Comfortable planes, yachts, cars for the heirs to the throne in the UAE are a familiar and commonplace phenomenon. They can have fun as they please. However, the older generation of royal dynasties instills in their offspring not only a love of pompous recreation, but also develops in them a talent for wise rule in the state, so that it prospers every year, and its inhabitants feel secure and happy.
It was in this spirit that 33-year-old Prince Hamdan was brought up. He prefers an active lifestyle, skillfully distributing time between government affairs and his hobbies. Perhaps this is the secret that today the Principality of Dubai is an economic miracle of the 21st century? Thanks to whom could it appear on the territory of the UAE? Naturally, thanks to the competent policies of the ruling elite. And, of course, Dubai made its contribution to this process. How does he manage to properly combine work and rest so that he has enough time for both? Let's consider this issue in more detail.
History of the dynasty
Not many people know that the mentioned Prince of Dubai is the son of the Arab Sheikh Mohamed Al Maktoum. The heir's father is the Prime Minister and Vice President of the Emirates. Historiographers claim that the sheikh’s ancestry originates from the ancient Bani Yas tribes, who lived in areas where the cities of Abu Dhabi and Dubai are currently located.
The Arab principality of Dubai was founded by Sheikh Maktoun bin Butta in 1833. Since then, this ancient family has ruled it.
Curriculum Vitae
The thirty-three-year-old Prince of Dubai was born on November 14, 1982. It should be noted that he is not the only heir in the family. Sheikh Hamdan has 9 sisters and 6 brothers. In his homeland, the boy studied at one of the private colleges.
He spent his youth in Western Europe, namely in Great Britain, where he received an excellent education. First, the Prince of Dubai gnawed at the granite of science at the Army Military School located in Sanghdhurst, England. He then graduated from the College of Economics in London, and upon returning home, from the School of Administration in Dubai.
Government activities
The Prince of Dubai, Sheikh Hamdan, began ruling the principality on February 1, 2008, after his older brother “abdicated the throne.” In fairness, it should be noted that the parents assumed a similar outcome of the matter, so they prepared their son in advance for the fact that he would take the reins of government of the principality into his own hands.
And the Prince of Dubai, Hamdan, lived up to the expectations placed on him: he actively participates in the political life of his native country, trying not to miss a single congress and summit.
Back in 2006, he was offered the position of head of the Emirate's Executive Council. The young man's responsibilities included monitoring and supervising government agencies. In this responsible position, Crown Prince of Dubai Hamdan developed and invited his colleagues to adopt a strategic plan for the development of the Emirate for the coming years, which was done. The young manager showed his business skills in another position - the head of the Sports Council of the Emirate of Dubai. He was also entrusted with leading the Institute of Young Entrepreneurs.
Social projects
Sheikh Hamdan devotes a lot of time to solving social problems. In particular, he funds several programs aimed at helping children and animals, often attending charity events. The Crown Prince even heads a specialized autism center in the Emirates.
Despite the high position and social status he occupies in society, Sheikh Hamdan in life is a modest person who does not boast of his regalia and merits. That is why he earned great authority among the people.
Hobby
Dubai Hamdan has a lot of hobbies. He loves to explore the expanses of the Persian Gulf on scooters and water skis. The young man is also interested in the underwater world, enjoying scuba diving.
Not everyone knows that the sheikh prefers to spend his time falconry. He likes skydiving. He usually does this over the artificial island. Prince is no stranger to jumping for a long time - long months of training take their toll.
Extreme
In addition, the heir to the throne in Dubai once tested the ultra-modern JETLEV-FLYER aircraft, which operates in the air thanks to the power of giant jets of water. The young man was able to rise up and “soar” against the backdrop of the famous seven-star hotel called Burj al Arab. Sheikh Hamdan loves to get a good dose of adrenaline from time to time.
The heir to the throne is, among other things, an experienced horse rider. He participated in horse racing many times and repeatedly won prizes at prestigious competitions. In particular, the sheikh took first place at the Asian Olympic Games.
He spends fabulous money on purchasing camels, honoring Bedouin traditions.
And, of course, the royal offspring cannot do without traveling. However, he is more interested in extreme tourism. Thus, the Prince of Dubai has already traveled to the African continent, where he hunted lions with a photo gun. He also visited the Russian Federation. In our country, he became more familiar with the traditions of falconry.
Romantic and altruist
Another unusual hobby of Sheikh Hamdan is poetry. The young man inherited it from his father. The prince composes on romantic and patriotic themes. He creates his poems under the pseudonym Fazza (“success in everything”). Moreover, his talent as a poet has already been noted by the public.
The heir to the throne of Dubai's hobbies also include doing good deeds, that is, helping people. He is one of the participants in the creation of the Society without Borders structure, the purpose of which is to provide support to people with disabilities.
Back in 2006, the prince initiated the “Integration” project, which was supposed to help members of society with disabilities simplify their integration into the social environment.
The Sheikh also took care of strengthening road safety, increasing penalties for those drivers who ignore traffic rules. In this case, persistent violators will be deprived of their driver's license for up to 6 months.
Relationships with the opposite sex
Of course, the Crown Prince of Dubai, Sheikh Hamdan, is every girl’s dream, and given that he is charming, handsome and smart, then a whole line of representatives of the fairer sex will line up in an attempt to win his heart. However, Eastern men are capricious and temperamental, and the heir to the throne is no exception.
At the same time, the young man keeps the details of his personal life secret. Would girls give a lot to find out who the wife of the Prince of Dubai is? Previously, the press wrote that the heart of the “heir to the throne” is not occupied by anyone.
The media also mentioned that the sheikh imposes quite strict requirements on his potential chosen one, these are the traditions of the East. However, religion allows the sheikh to have as many wives as he wants, so it is quite difficult to talk about his love interests. Formally, women in the Emirates are not infringed on their rights, but they still dominate here, so the wife is obliged to unquestioningly obey her husband.
And yet, after some time, he revealed the secret of his personal life, saying that his engagement took place in infancy. This is the odious statement that the Prince of Dubai, Sheikh Hamdan, once made! The wife of the heir to the throne is his maternal cousin. Her name is Sheikha bint Saeed bin Thani al-Maktoum. Newspapers several times published photographs in which the young man was captured with a stranger, whose face was hidden from prying eyes.
9 August 2017, 18:36Hamdan bin Mohammed Al Maktoum (born 14 November 1982) is a member of the royal family of the Emirate of Dubai, son of Mohammed Al Maktoum, Crown Prince of Dubai. 
He is the second in the family twenty three!) children. "I enjoyed a peaceful childhood with my father, mother and brothers and sisters. I was raised in an environment that allowed me to realize the true meaning of life and reflect on the greatness of God." 
After school, he continued his studies in the UK at the Royal Military Academy, along with Prince William and Harry. After which he graduated with honors from the London School of Economics.

POETRY
Hamdan inherited a love of poetry from his father. The prince writes poetry himself. Basically, these are philosophical, romantic and patriotic lyrics. He publishes poems under the pseudonym Fazza, which means "speed" and "success".
These are a little clumsy, but translations :)
The color and smell of your hair,
The sweetness of lips, the tenderness of graceful hands
I didn’t write it in poetry, I carried it in my soul
All times past and present...
Even future ones! Hearts beating
The sparkle of bottomless green eyes -
This is my life! The circle is closed
Where are we together in sleepless nights,
Enchanted by beauty
We enter the shadow along the lunar path...
Like death, separation from you.
Without you I'm a little different
A gloomy day without you, my light,
The night is dark and the moon is unable to
Light it up. In the world there is no
Better than the one I called cute. 
This tired traveler sat down to rest
And he suddenly said thoughtfully: “Prisoner
You are your passions... How will you continue your path,
If your flesh and soul are perishable?
And I thought - as if I had accepted a reproach...
How high I used to fly!
I have become different now, I have changed since then -
I drank the water of truth from the source.
I frayed the horse's bridle on the roads,
Destroyed all the castles in the air,
I learned to forgive, and they forgave me,
I saved to save my soul... 
How beautiful this precious day is,
He rejoices like a thunderstorm at sea!
Each one is dear, like a priceless stone,
He looks into the soul, squinting his eyes...
He grins - are you waiting for the end?
The day has come, the heat and wind reign,
The night of love is like a sheep to the slaughter,
He is in no hurry to let him land.
Only the evening will rush invisibly,
And the sun goes down into sunset,
Horses of Time on a Chariot
The night is coming - there is no turning back!
How painful is the moment of waiting...
Day and night, morning and evening, as of old,
I can't stand the night's breathing
And I’ll tear off the calendar again.
The night is priceless! Like the day, endless
The light of the moon, the marvelous stars of the carnival.
Life is long and, alas, fleeting...
Happy is the one who knows all this!
In the modern world, royal misalliances happen quite often, so we decided to remember the most influential, but still free royal offspring of the Middle East. After all, no one knows who you might accidentally bump into even in a crowd.
Sheikh Hamdan bin Mohammed Al MaktoumIn 2011, Kate Middleton's grand wedding took place, the broadcast of which was watched by 162 million viewers, mesmerized by the reality of the scenario of the fairy tale about Cinderella. And the Duchess of Cambridge, in turn, seemed to repeat the scenario of Mary Donaldson, now the Crown Princess of Denmark, whose typical, inconspicuous life changed dramatically after a chance acquaintance in Sydney with Prince Frederick. 3 years after that chance meeting, she was destined to become his bride, and then his wife.
However, not only these two ladies proved that dreams of a royal wedding in the truest sense of the word have every right to exist. Even the most titled persons sometimes choose one of the common people as their life partner. And the Middle Eastern princes and princesses, as we remember, were no exception. Take, for example, the story of the beautiful Rania, Queen of Jordan. But today we are not talking about her. After we counted all the European eligible blue-blooded bachelors, the editorial team came up with the idea to talk about princesses and princes from the Middle East, who also have not yet found their halves.
Sheikh Hamdan bin Mohammed Al Maktoum, Crown Prince of Dubai (34)
The beloved heir to the throne of the Emirate of Dubai has many talents. He was initially educated at the Royal Military Academy in Sandhurst, Berkshire, England, and subsequently attended classes at the London School of Economics and Political Science.
The 34-year-old enviable prince rides horses, scuba dives and is already an almost professional parachute jumper. In addition, he even publishes poems of his own composition, imbued with patriotic and romantic sentiments.
In general, his skills and achievements can be listed endlessly, and he immediately talks about them on his Instagram. There you can also find photo evidence of how much the Crown Prince loves sports and an active lifestyle in general, which cannot but please.
Hussein ibn Abdullah, Crown Prince of Jordan (22)
He is the eldest child of the couple King Abdullah II and Queen Rania, by the way, one of the most beautiful royalty of our time. The prince is a graduate of Georgetown University in Washington, where he majored in international history.
Interestingly, last year Prince Hussein had the honor of chairing a meeting of the UN Security Council, thus becoming the youngest participant in the process in its entire history. Thus, Prince Hussein is following in his father’s footsteps, continuing his parent’s endeavors by actively participating in policies to empower youth.
Sheikh Mohammed bin Hamad bin Khalifa Al Thani of Qatar (28)
The 28-year-old heir to the throne is the 5th son of Sheikh Emir and his second wife Sheikha Moza, one of the most famous women of the East. In 2013, he received his master's degree from Harvard University. In addition to Arabic, the young man speaks fluent English and French.
In addition, Sheikh Mohammed Hamad is the former captain of the Qatar equestrian team. He also chaired the competition to host the 2022 FIFA World Cup.
Sheikha Maita bint Mohammed bin Rashid Al Maktoum, Princess of Dubai (36)
Maita is the half-sister of the Crown Prince, who heads our list of free royal offspring of the East. But her fiance will have to work hard to live up to her. And the point here is not at all about the social status of the bride. In addition to her important title, Sheikha is also the honorary president of the United Arab Emirates Taekwondo and Karate Federation and the president of the Women's Committee of the West Asian Karate Federation. She even led the UAE women's team in this sport, which took first place from 2003 to 2006. In addition, Sheikha Maita became the first Arab athlete to carry her country's flag at the Beijing Olympics. In 2008, Forbes magazine included the girl in the list of the 20 most famous representatives of royal dynasties.
