It’s always a joy to see our royals make surprise visits in the city. Not only do we get to see them in the flesh, but it reminds us how much of a community our city is, no matter who you are!
Earlier today, His Highness Sheikh Hamdan bin Mohammed bin Rashid Al Maktoum, Crown Prince of Dubai and Chairman of the Dubai Executive Council took to Instagram to post his surprise ride across the Dubai Creek with his entourage.
As much as social media viewers were delighted, no one was more shocked than the abra driver himself, a Pakistani man by the name of Mubashir. How do we know that? Well of course our awesome Sheikh Hamdan captured some Insta-stories conversing with Mubashir, asking him his name and even dedicating an entire post on his faz3 Instagram page just for the happy abra driver, with the caption ‘#mydubai with captain Mubashir’
