The most beautiful Arab prince. Prince from an oriental fairy tale. Sheikh Rashid - from succession to the throne to disgrace

Being one of 13 children, and not the oldest, February 1, 2008 Hamdan ibn Mohammed Al Maktoum was nevertheless announced Crown Prince of Dubai. Damn attractive prince instantly became the object of attention of the press, and his personal Instagram has not thousands, but millions of subscribers. So who is he, the chosen one of fate?

Hamdan is 34 years old today, and his life is definitely not boring and far from idleness. In addition to the official positions that the new crown prince is entitled to (Chairman of the Executive Council of the City of Dubai, head of the HN Capital LLP hedge fund, head of the Young Entrepreneurs Support League and president of the university), Hamdan has many hobbies to which he devotes his free time.

The crown prince manages to engage in falconry, cycling, attending races, diving, skydiving, he even writes poetry under the pseudonym Fazza. And at home, in his magnificent estate, not only the family is waiting for the prince, but also exotic pets, among which there are camels, white tigers and lions. Hamdan also owns several thoroughbred stallions who regularly win races.

Of course, the crown prince is not alien to the desire for luxury - often he travels to incredibly beautiful places on the planet, stays only in the best hotels, and also travels on his own yacht or one of his many expensive cars. Not only is the prince fabulously rich, he is also very attractive and still unmarried, which makes him one of the most enviable bachelors on the planet. Moreover, Hamdan is known for his excellent education and desire to help those in need - the prince devotes a lot of time to charity, helps sick children, the disabled and sponsors hospitals.

I was looking for this post - I decided to create it myself in general. from the series can not be silent. Well, Christmas trees have accumulated: ozone holes, all things ... again, recently Arab princes were included in some kind of war ... It immediately became clear there that the one who was deprived of this title was called the prince ...

Girls, the affairs of the Arab crown are not inferior in complexity to the intrigues of the Magnificent Age. moreover, I am guided only in the affairs of the emirate of Dubai. and there are not one or two emirates in the UAE.

why it is interesting to me (and to you) - because the sheikhs there are quite patty times. Because there is really a serpentarium - two. and because in Russian this information is not available ANYWHERE at all. even in the fan community of the VKontakte family (for several tens of thousands of readers, by the way), completely false information is posted.

Therefore, I consider myself practically a beacon, amen. let's get started.

Sheikh of Dubai - Mohammed bin Rashid Al Maktoum. He is many years old and he is a very popular man. He was born already in 1949, which does not prevent him from having a younger son aged 3 years. well done? well done. Dubai recently celebrated 10 years of his reign and everyone wept with happiness. But here, by the way, I have nothing to argue - Mohammed is a great man who made oil work for people. Imagine, it turns out that it was possible to build an oasis of tourism and trade in the desert with petrodollars. We didn’t even know (#mohammed_where_wh_you_were_before)!

Sheikh's eldest son is an unknown Sheikh Marwan, born in 1981. he lives in London and does not look like an Arab at all, because he was born from a German woman. but his children (as it should be with recessive inheritance) are Arabs anywhere. Marwan does not even appear in the line of inheritance, although he is welcomed in the family. Turned out to be a good person)

the second son of the sheikh is Sheikh Rashid, who tragically died in September 2015. He was 33. Incidentally, the emphasis on the first syllable is without options, because in Arabic spelling in this name there is only one vowel) I found a way to unobtrusively show you that I know Arabic))))

The story of Sheikh Rashid is very dark and the truth will never be revealed to us. Officially, until 2011 (!) he was the heir to the throne. Sheikh Rashid was with his father everywhere and believe me - of all the sons, it was Rashid who succeeded best of all. I would say - this is the top of the "breed", the brightest diamond, the most obvious leader. It was such power, such a magnet - you had to see it! But a terrible thing happened - Rashid turned out to be a "difficult passenger". According to the documents, which are still on wikileaks, Sheikh Rashid was not only a drug addict, he also accidentally (?!) killed a servant in the palace. That "haram" - that is, a terrible monstrous sin.

For me, this was the character to rule the country, it just had to be hewn. But Sheikh Rashid after this story literally disappears from everywhere. For some time he still occupies minor commercial posts, however, he soon loses this as well. It is not shown anywhere else, so that, God forbid, a diligently worn out old case does not come up. In September, according to the official version, Rashid dies of a heart attack (I believe), according to the sub-version (I'm sure it was admitted by the palace service), he was shot dead in battles for his homeland. The second version is categorically excluded, because Rashid was not allowed anywhere at all, so that he would not shine and remind. I think for him (with his obvious arch-ambitiousness) it was a colossal blow and it is still unknown whether everything turned out so tragically precisely because of this.

By the way, for the whole family, the death of Rashid became a terrible tragedy, healthy men, brothers, shed tears without being embarrassed by anything. Hamdan, I was generally afraid of losing consciousness, he was so shaken. Then I remember how the Windsor boys did not shed a tear at Diana's funeral. Not a reproach. I just think that's what different temperaments!

In 2011, Crown Prince Hamdan is introduced to the world. his image is so sterile that I do not believe a single word. He is known to the world with a light hand in the service of the palace under the pseudonym Fazza (faz3) - I will not translate from Arabic what Fazza means, otherwise I will stick together. Fuzza as a person - a poet, a philanthropist, an adorer of children, an advocate for animals ... by the way, his poems are the same as an image, it is impossible to read.

Fazza is a sterile, perfect, polished image of Hamdan, and what he really knows only he himself. if he remembers of course.

But if he doesn't remember, it's okay, I remember)))

(hamdan on the right, near - Rashid)

before becoming heir, Fazza was overweight (all Al Maktoums are very inclined to be overweight), an extremely pimply youth who made physiognomies a la Tarkan in the camera. Now they knocked it out of him - they explained that with a romantic look he looks like m .... k, so you need to frown menacingly. Works out.

how the palace erases pictures of Hamdan is just a fairy tale) it’s almost impossible to catch non-photoshopped frames on the net, they don’t eat their bread in vain, however, here are a couple of examples of what Superman-Hamdan looks like in reality)))

Hamdan has a fiancee (cousin, of course - that's the way it is, it's okay), however, there are persistent rumors that the engagement has been canceled and that he supposedly has a girlfriend. Right now, get ready for a flow of sugar in honey.

So, according to the "rumors" kindly spread by the palace service, Hamdan's fiancée is a refugee from hot spots, whom he met when he worked as a volunteer at the distribution of meals for the homeless. This is such a fucking profanity that I almost burst into tears of happiness when I first read it. Oh, almighty pr service of the palace - what other heights will you reach? I don’t know who this is designed for - for 10th graders? I can only say that there is not even a word like "girl" in Arabic. Dating is haram. Like - get married. Don't like it - move on. Here we are all humbly silent about the famous parties with girls in the palace. shut up I say! And we admire the glossy Hamdan with the approved skin tone "sexy number 6".

The next son of the Sheikh (all from the same wife Hind - she, the poor one, gave him as many as 12 offspring) is Sheikh Maktum. You can’t say that, but in general he is only 32. He will be the vice-ruler of Dubai and seems to me the only sane member of the family. He is very nice to me, his English friend plays a significant role in this, posting occasionally very touching pictures with Maktoum, where he cuts a birthday cake or goes skiing with friends. not a superman look, not a poseur look. even strange - our man is right behind enemy lines.

Despite his very prominent role in Dubai (and by the way, his father mostly goes everywhere with Maktoum, and not with Hamdan), Maktoum is very closed and uncommunicative with the press. finding a video with him is unrealistic even if you search in Arabic.

Sheikh Ahmed (the emphasis is also on the first syllable, too, because there are no more vowels) is the next son. local clown and my favorite. I look at him every time and I can’t believe that one day they will trust him with something.

The PR service of the palace carefully polishes his image and even came up with a nickname for him - Azzam. Something like "resolute" in Arabic. I'm laughing out loud now, because it seems to me that Akhmed is the most natural stoner and hedonist. Like all his brothers, he was initially a fucking handsome guy (al-Maktoums have good genes), however, he got fat. I wonder how hard it takes Hamdan to keep in shape?

my favorite))

Ahmed performs the nominal functions of a chairman somewhere, a presenter somewhere ... he does it with an invariably bored physiognomy and the last thing that turned him on was the dancing of Arab actresses at some charity performance. For my studies, I constantly watch the news in their dialect and always eagerly wait for when Ahmed will touch the Christmas trees at least something? Touched. I once again made sure that he is completely crazy and probably a pervert))) but in a series of sterile brothers, he is extremely nice to me.

The palace carefully destroys all non-photoshopped pictures on the network, so rejoice while you can. Ahmed in his "youth" loved to bring his eyes. It's disco, baby

There is also Sheikh Said, born in 1988, however, this is a very strange character, fortunately, he practically does not flicker anywhere, because he has such a look ... I would hide such a boy (which is what the palace does). I don't know anything about him. Either guilty, or not ambitious.

And finally, two more sons - from a wife from Morocco, although Russian-language sources mistakenly attribute the boys to different ladies. We probably won’t take our daughters, otherwise we won’t leave here (although the sheikh’s daughters are also uuuh!).

So, a wife from Morocco gave Sheikh Mohammed two rather prominent sons.

The first is Sheikh Majid. Don't let his appearance fool you, Prince William has thick hair compared to him. Just trust me.

Majid is 28 years old, and he had everything in Swiss chocolate, until he decided to marry the girl Hesse from, by the way, far from the simplest family. The Al Maktoums did not approve of this marriage to such an extent that a - they did not appear, b - after the wedding, Majid became a figurehead and moved to the second row at events, FOR all the other brothers and even for his own younger brother. Didn't save the guy

Majid is the only one of all the Sheikh's sons who is married and already has two children. he named his daughter Dubai (?!) which finished off the palace along the way, because no one congratulated him on the birth of children in his social accounts. And they are all more than active online.

Sheikh Mansour - who was recently discussed here on the main page when he led the extinguishing of the hotel Address. The final work of Mohammed. Mansoor is 26 years old, and since he is born from the same mother as Majid, he is also rapidly going bald.

photoproof. in this photo, Mansur participates in a charity match with the disabled and flirtatiously combs the rest of his hair forward. we must tell him that it is also fashionable with us.

although the Arabs do not have much hair on their heads. It is, as it were, compensated by the vegetation on the body))) By the way, Mansur has unearthly and mutual love with the body. He is practically Mr. Universe, which somehow compensates for his completely Bedouin appearance. Mansour is the only prince who travels to hot spots, but I assure you - only after they cool down)))

Mansour owns some fabulous fleet of Ferraris, Lamborghinis, Bentleys, and whatever else. There is a report about this on YouTube, however, in Arabic. but the picture is spiks for itself. Sheikh's car number is D8. D - Dubai, 8 - the eighth man in the family (the first is Himself).

Another son - three-year-old Zayed - was born to the sheikh by the well-known princess Haya. the one who fights for the rights of women around the world, while happily being in a polygamous marriage, and who insists on the fight against smoking, and then stealthily smokes at the races. I have no complaints about Princess Haya, I think she did everything right in her life)

Last thing. Who is Sheikh Nasser? The outrageously playboy-looking Sheikh of Bahrain, married to one of Mohammed's daughters. They have three children. I couldn't help but include him here, because Sheikh Nasser was very successful.

Perhaps that's all. I rather tired you with my libations, although believe me, it took a lot of effort to restrain myself and I did not tell even a third)

love you. I hope you don't get confused.)

Hamdan bin Mohammed bin Rashid al Maktoum is the 35-year-old heir to the throne of the Emirate of Dubai. Sheikh Hamdan is a real Oriental prince: he is fabulously handsome, owns a huge fortune and is fond of such typical things for royals as falconry, equestrianism and Formula 1 racing. His fortune is estimated at over 18 billion dollars.

Let's tell you about the life of a young billionaire.

1. Arab Sheikh Hamdan lives in incredible luxury from birth. He was born in the family of the Vice President and Prime Minister of the United Arab Emirates, the ruler of the Emirate of Dubai, Sheikh Mohammed bin Rashid Al Maktoum. He also has 6 brothers and 9 sisters. In the United Arab Emirates, Hamdan is a very popular person due to his versatile image and seeming "proximity to the people."

2. In fact, Hamdan spent most of his life not in his native Arab Emirates, but in the UK, where he received an excellent education. At first he studied at the elite military school of the army in Sandhurst, which is often chosen by English aristocrats for their beloved children. Then the sheikh moved to London, where he studied economics. After several years spent in Foggy Albion, Hamdan still had to return to his homeland - affairs of national importance were already awaiting him there.

4. In ordinary life, Sheikh Hamdan looks a little different - he loves Formula 1 baseball caps, sports t-shirts and shorts. Yes, and the prince is to some extent far from politics - he is quite romantic in nature, loves travel, falconry and horseback riding.

5. The prince is an excellent rider, takes equestrianism very seriously, has his own stable and once won the Arab Olympic Games due to his skill in the saddle.

6. The Sheikh of the United Arab Emirates is not at all like the British princes Harry or William, although he lived in England for several years. Very little is known about Hamdan's personal life, unlike his famous "colleagues", and what is known is only rumors and conjectures. One thing we know for sure - the image makers of the royal court are constantly working to ensure that the image of the sheikh is impeccable.

7. Judge for yourself - Sheikh Hamdan is constantly photographed with children, his numerous nephews and nieces, and at the same time looks like a completely charming and kind uncle. At the same time, the sheikh does not let anyone forget that he lives in luxury - on the net you can find a lot of pictures of Hamdan with tiger cubs (he can afford to have a pet tiger instead of a modest cat!), Falcons, Arabian horses, luxury cars, in interiors magnificent palace ... In a word, the sheikh is constantly in the halo of power and wealth.

8. Of course, one of the richest people in the world cannot help but do charity work - Hamdan oversees several foundations, and sometimes he comes to visit people in need of help.

9. About his personal life and relationships with women in the UAE, they speak only in a whisper. Answering a question about his possible marriage, the prince said that from birth he was engaged to a maternal relative, so there were no problems with choosing a bride - everything was decided long before he even entered a conscious age. Several times in the media appeared his photo with an unknown woman, but we will never see her face - the alleged bride (or wife?) of Hamdan wears a black cloak, showing the world only her eyes. Everything else is for the husband.

10. However, the sheikh has the right to have as many wives as he wants, so it is rather difficult to talk about the romantic affections of the prince. For comparison, Hamdan's father, Sheikh Mohammed, is rumored to have about five wives. We say "about" because the exact number is really unknown - there are only eyewitness accounts and conjectures.

In a word, even girls from aristocratic families have no way to approach the mysterious eastern prince, since everything connected with his personality is confidential information, and the choice of wives by the influential Hamdan clan is unlikely to be left to his own discretion. This does not prevent the sheikh from having a lot of fans of his attractive appearance and various talents - after all, no one forbade watching and believing!

11. The 32-year-old Sheikh currently serves as Chairman of the Dubai City Council and President of the Sports Committee of the Emirate of Dubai.

12. Like his father, Sheikh Hamdan writes poetry. The main motives of poetry are family, homeland, romantic relationships.

13. The prince is a skilled rider. He received a gold medal in horseback riding at the Asian Games.

14. Also, his highness is fond of breeding camels, which requires considerable expenses.

Here are a little clumsy, but translations :)

The color and smell of your hair
The sweetness of lips, the tenderness of graceful hands
Not in verse, I carried in my soul
All times past and present...
Even the future ones! heart beat,
Shine of bottomless green eyes -
This is my life! The circle is closed
Where we are together in sleepless nights
Enchanted by beauty
We enter the shadow along the lunar path ...
Like death, separation from you.
I'm a little different without you
Gloomy day without you, my light,
The night is dark and the moon is powerless
Light her up. There is no in the world
Better than the one I called cute.

This tired traveler sat down to rest
And he suddenly said thoughtfully: “The prisoner
You are your passions ... How will you continue the path,
If your flesh and soul are corruptible?
And I thought - as if I took a reproach ...
How high I flew before!
I have become different now, I have changed since then -
He 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 is this precious day,
He rejoices like a thunderstorm in the sea!
Each one is precious, like a priceless stone,
Looks into the soul, squinting his eyes ...
Smiling - waiting for the end?
The day has come, the heat and the wind reigns,
Night of love, like a sheep to the slaughter,
He is not in a hurry to let him go to the ground.
Only the evening will rush invisibly,
And the sun will go down into the sunset
Horses of time on a chariot
The night is carried - there is no way back!
What a painful moment of waiting...
Day and night, morning-evening, as of old,
I can't stand the night breathing
And again I'll tear off the calendar.
The night is priceless! Like a day, endless
The light of the moon, marvelous stars carnival.
Life is long and, alas, fleeting ...
Happy is he who knows all this!

Everyone knows that the ruler of the emirate of Dubai and the vice-president of the United Arab Emirates, Sheikh Mohammed bin Rashid bin Said al Maktoum, has many children and wives.

Sheikh Mohammed

No one, except for the sheikh, probably knows the exact number. I will not dare to state any figures. More than 20 officially recognized children - that's for sure. Two well-known wives: Sheikha Hind al Maktoum - the main wife, the mother of twelve children, whom no one photographed, and the youngest - Princess Haya of Jordan, the mother of two, whom we all know well.

Prince Hamdan, the second son of Sheikh Mohammed and Hind, has been declared the official heir to the emirate. For some reason, the eldest son Rashid was removed from the inheritance, whether he was rude to his dad, or he loves women too much, it is not known. However, it turned out that this is not entirely true.

There is very little information on the Internet. But the members of the Maktoum family themselves are extremely active on social networks, almost all the children of the sheikh have their own accounts, which they constantly update. Many overlap with each other. In fact, it was only through this that we managed to learn something.

It is known for sure that the firstborn of Muhammad, daughter, Sheikha Manal, was born in 1977. Presumably from a Lebanese wife. She is happily married, she has children, a million photos with all the relatives on the net. But it's not about her.

In 1979, the sheikh married his 17-year-old cousin and, at the same time, second cousin, Sheikha Hind al Maktoum.

Lyrical digression: it is not known when she received the title of the main / eldest wife, but she is definitely not the first (these are different concepts).

In Arabic forums, the Dubaians themselves (mostly women, of course) explain that since the child has the title of sheikh or sheikh, this means that Sheikh Mohammed definitely took the child’s mother as his wife, even if he quickly divorced later. I suspect this is some kind of law in the Emirates, because a Muslim does not have to get married to officially recognize a child. Maybe it's just the status of a sheikh for a child. I do not know . Just in case, I will call everyone wives.

So, before Hind there was a Lebanese wife, mother Manal.

In March 1980, Sheikh Maitha was born from a Moroccan wife to a sheikh, you have seen her many times, this is the same famous athlete. And she participates always and everywhere, and she carried the flag of the United Arab Emirates at the Olympics in London, and won a lot of things.

At the time of Maita's birth, Sheikha Hind is already pregnant with her first child and in November 1980 gives birth to a daughter, Hessa. Everything is fine with her, married, children, everything is fine.

But the sheikh has no son. And, at the moment when Hind was wearing Hessa, the sheikh starts a relationship with, as rumors say, a German girl. In any case, the girl was of northern European type. And in March 1981, she gave birth to a boy.

The long-awaited son of an Arab dad turned out to be unusual. They named him Marwan. One of the traditional names in the Maktoum clan. Sheikh Marwan bin Mohammed bin Rashid bin Saeed Al Maktoum. Which literally means "Sheikh Marwan, son of Mohammed, son of Rashid, son of Said from the Maktoum family." The name is also the genealogy. The sheikh recognized the boy because his name is on all the lists of the official children of the sheikh.

In August 1981, the Sheikh's Moroccan wife gave birth to a second daughter, Shamsa. And only in November 1981 Hind gave birth to a son, Rashid. So he is the second son of Sheikh Mohammed, and not the first, as they say everywhere.

There are no photos of Marwan on my father's website. The other seven sons are, but Marwan is not. I think this is due to the fact that he is not an Arab, although he is a Muslim. As well as his appearance. Painfully different from all the others.

I want to draw your attention to the fact that many people confuse the son of a sheikh with the son of his second cousin, they are almost complete namesakes, the name is only different in the fourth generation. And they rarely write until the fourth. So, the man in the photo below is not the same Marwan! This is easy to check on his page, where the man constantly uploads photos of his real father and brothers.

Also Marwan, also a sheikh, but a second cousin, not the ruler's son.

At the moment, Marwan al Maktoum lives in London. He is married to Dalal al Marzougi, a girl from a very old and wealthy sultan family that ruled for a thousand years right across the bay from Dubai, now Iran. My wife has been a development director for a major oil company for many years.

They have two sons, Mohammed and Rashid (after their father and grandfather). These are the first male grandchildren of Sheikh Mohammed!! The rest of the sons have no children yet, only daughters.

Marwan served in the Dubai Army. It happens periodically in the emirate. Communicates with relatives. Too bad there aren't many photos. I did not find a single adult photo with my father.

Sheikh Marwan is head and shoulders above all relatives. He is blond with blue eyes!
