    Sheikh Hamdan bin Mohammad Al Maktoum, the Crown Prince of Dubai
    Over the years, Sheikh Hamdan Bin Mohammed Bin Rashid Al Maktoum, Crown Prince of Dubai and Chairman of the Dubai Executive Council, has become a well-loved public figure in the UAE and beyond. Sheikh Hamdan, who is fondly called Fazza by fans, has played a major role in making Dubai a city that leads the world. One thing that endears him to fans is his humility and relatability. He shares photos of his days generously, where one can see him heading to the local races or even to Burj Khalifa. Here are some facts to celebrate the 13th anniversary of Sheikh Hamdan being the Crown Prince of Dubai. Image Credit: Insta/faz3

    He studied at Royal Military Academy Sandhurst. Sheikh Hamdan often shares 'throwback' pictures on his social media feeds of him dressed in the Sandhurst military greens. The academy has an illustrious alumni list filled with royals from all over the world including British royals William and Harry, His Highness Sheikh Mohammed bin Zayed Al Nahyan, Crown Prince of Abu Dhabi and Deputy Supreme Commander of the UAE Armed Forces, His Highness Sheikh Mohammed Bin Rashid Al Maktoum, Vice President and Prime Minister of the UAE and Ruler of Dubai, and Hussein, the Crown Prince of Jordan.

    Sheikh Hamdan bin Mohammad Al Maktoum, the Crown Prince of Dubai
    Sheikh Hamdan is all for staying fit and encouraging others to do so too. He came up with the idea for the annual Dubai Fitness Challenge, where he encourages people to do physical activity for 30 minutes a day, for 30 days, with the idea that it becomes a habit. Image Credit: Insta/faz3

    His nickname has special significance. The word Fazza in the Emirati dialect translates to “someone who rushes to help”. The words is used in Nabati poetry, an old-school way of writing poems in Arabic. And because Sheikh Hamdan loves to write poetry, he was given the moniker Fazza. Image Credit: Insta/faz3 Verified

    He’s also an ace photographer. Check out this picture, for instance, where he beautifully juxtaposes the wildness of the desert and the Dubai skyline. He called this shot: Two worlds, One city. #MyDubai 🦒🦌🌳🌆 #canon5dsr The Crown Prince’s love for photography led him to establish the Hamdan International Photography Award, which aims to nurture artistic talent and encourage the appreciation of art and culture.

    He loves animals. Remember this one? Sheikh Hamdan had shared a video of chicks that had hatched next to his car’s windscreen and been cared for so that they could now take to the skies on their own. Image Credit: Instagram/ @faz3

    Sheikh Hamdan is a fan of heights. In December, he climbed to top of Burj Khalifa; the video he shared went viral. This isn't the first time he scaled the tallest constructing on this planet, the first time was 2013 (pictured). This time though he captioned the success: “828 meters of pleasure”.
