Shaikh Mohammad also took the family to spend the day with horses and watch the races, which is one of the most passionate hobbies of Dubai's ruling family.

Princess Haya Bint Al Hussain, wife of His Highness Shaikh Mohammad Bin Rashid Al Maktoum, Vice-President and Prime Minister of the UAE and Ruler of Dubai, also posted photos of the holiday in Italy.

The photo was accompanied with a brief explanation of the colours of the family’s horse riding clothes.

كانت لحظة مميزة لعائلتنا عندما قرر صاحب السمو الشيخ محمد بن راشد ان تعود القمصان الشهيرة ذات اللونين الماروني والأبيض واللونين الأزرق والأبيض الى حلبات السباق لتكون الألوان الخاصة بالجليلة وزايد ليتشاركوها مع إخوانهم واخواتهم وجميع شباب الامارات. هذه القمصان هي ذات الألوان التي استخدمها صاحب السمو في بداية مسيرته بمجال سباقات الخيول A family of colours! A wonderful moment for all of our family when His Highness Sheikh Mohammed decided that the famous Maroon and White silks, and the Blue and white silks that were his personal colors at the beginning of his racehorse owner would return to the racetracks for Jalila and Zayed to share with all their brothers and sisters, and the youth of the UAE!

The Crown Prince of Dubai, Shaikh Hamdan Bin Mohammad Bin Rashid Al Maktoum, also could not resist taking the typical holiday photo when visiting one of Italy’s most iconic landmark – the Leaning Tower of Pisa.
