However, the older generation of royal dynasties instil in the children not only love for pompous rest, but also develops in them the talent for wise government in the state, that it flourishes year after year, and its inhabitants feel secure and happy.

It was in this vein that the 33-year-old Prince of Dubai Sheikh Hamdan was brought up. He prefers an active lifestyle, skillfully distributing time between public affairs and his hobbies. Perhaps, this is the secret of the fact that today the principality of Dubai is an economic miracle of the XXI century? Thanks to whom it could appear on the territory of the UAE? Naturally, thanks to the competent policy of the ruling elite. And, of course, the crown prince of Dubai contributed to this process. How does he manage to properly combine work and rest, so that there is enough time for both? Let's consider this issue in more detail.

History of the dynasty

Not many people know that the aforementioned Prince of Dubai is the son of the Arab sheikh Mohamed Al Maktoum. The father of the heir is the prime minister and vice-president of the Emirates. Historians claim that the sheikh's ancestry originates from the ancient tribes of Bani Yas, who lived in areas where the cities of Abu Dhabi and Dubai are currently located.

The Arabian principality of Dubai was founded by Sheikh Maktun bin Butta in 1833. Since then, this ancient race ruled by it.

Government Activities

Prince of Dubai Sheikh Hamdan began to rule the principality on February 1, 2008, after his elder brother "abdicated." For the sake of justice, it should be noted that the parents expected such an outcome of the case, that is why the offspring were prepared in advance for the fact that he would take the reins of the principality in his own hands.

And the Prince of Dubai, Hamdan, justified the hopes placed on him: he actively participates in the political life of his native country, trying not to miss a single congress and summit.

In 2006 he was offered the position of the head of the Executive Council of the Emirate. The young man's duties included supervising and supervising government agencies. At this crucial post 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 qualities on another post - the head of the Sports Council of the Emirate of Dubai. He was also entrusted with the leadership of the Institute of Young Entrepreneurs.

Social projects

Sheikh Hamdan pays a lot of time to solve problems of a social nature. In particular, he finances several programs aimed at helping children and animals, often attending charitable events. The crown prince even heads a specialized autism center in the Emirates.

Despite the high position and social status held in the society, Sheikh Hamdan in life is a modest man who does not boast of his regalia and merits. That is why he deserved great authority among the people.

Hobby

Crown Prince of Dubai Hamdan has a lot of hobbies. He is fond of plowing the expanses of the Persian Gulf on scooters and water skiing. Also the young man is interested in the underwater world, with pleasure practicing scuba-diving.

Not everyone knows that the sheik prefers to spend time on falconry. He likes jumping with a parachute. This is the case, he usually deals with the artificial island of Palma Jumeirah. Prince is no longer a beginner in jumping - the long months of training affect.

Extreme

In addition, the heir to the throne in Dubai once experienced the state-of-the-art JETLEV-FLYER aircraft, which operates in the air thanks to the power of giant jets of water. The young man was able to climb up and "soar" against the backdrop of the famous seven-star hotel called Burj al Arab. Sheikh Hamdan loves from time to time to get a good portion of adrenaline.

And, of course, the royal offspring can not do without travel. However, he is more interested in extreme tourism. So, the prince of Dubai has already traveled to the African continent, where he hunted with a photojacket on lions. 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 versification. 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"). And his talent as a poet has already been noted by the public.

Relations with the opposite sex

Of course, the crown prince of Dubai Sheikh Hamdan is the dream of any girl, and if you consider that he is charming, handsome and clever, then in an attempt to win his heart a whole line of representatives of the weaker sex will be built. However, oriental men are wayward, temperamental, and heir to the throne is no exception.

At the same time, the young man keeps in secret the peculiarities of his personal life. And the girls would have given a lot to find out who the Prince of Dubai's wife is? Previously, the press wrote that the heart of the "heir to the throne" is not occupied by anyone.

Also, the media mentioned that the sheikh presents tough demands to his potential dad, such are the traditions of the East. However, religion allows you to get the sheikh as many wives as he wants, so it's difficult to talk about his love interests. Formally, women in the Emirates are not infringed in rights, but still the laws of Sharia prevail , therefore the wife is obliged to obey her husband unquestioningly.

And yet after a while he discovered the secret of his personal life, saying that his engagement was still in infancy. This is the odious statement made once by Prince of Dubai Sheikh Hamdan! The wife of the heir to the throne is his maternal cousin. Her name is Sheikh Bint Saeed bin Thani Al Maktoum. The newspapers published photographs several times, on which the young man is sealed with a stranger whose face is hidden from prying eyes.
