UAE’s netizens are again abuzz over Shaikh Hamdan Bin Mohammad Bin Rashid Al Maktoum, Crown Prince of Dubai, who has recently climbed to the top of Burj Khalifa during the supermoon.

One of the world's richest royals, the avid thrill seeker posted a 15-second time-lapse footage on his Instagram account along with the message: "Super moon, super city for my super followers.” The post generated nearly 3,000 comments as of Monday afternoon.

The video showed the silhouette of the prince standing at the pinnacle of the building, as the supermoon rises in the background. A supermoon occurs when the moon is at its nearest to the Earth.

Hamdan earlier climbed the world’s tallest building in November last year, when Dubai won the hosting rights for the World Expo 2020.

He also wrote the following message: “With every full moon comes a new beginning and with every beginning comes opportunities.”
