A video recently went viral on Instagram after a woman shared a heartwarming story about Sheikh Hamdan bin Mohammed bin Rashid Al Maktoum, the Crown Prince of Dubai, popularly known as Fazza. The video reveals how the Crown Prince paid the bill for everyone dining at a restaurant he visited.
The woman, who was dining at La Maison Ani in Dubai Mall, explained in the video that Sheikh Hamdan walked into the restaurant while she and other guests were enjoying their lunch. To everyone's surprise, he covered the entire bill for everyone present. The woman estimated the total cost to be between AED 25,000 and AED 30,000, which is roughly between $6,800 and $8,200 USD. The video was captioned, “Covers the bill for everyone dining at a restaurant in Dubai! That’s our Crown Prince.”
This gesture quickly caught the attention of social media users, sparking widespread admiration and appreciation for Sheikh Hamdan’s generosity. Many online users expressed their respect for his kind act, with some calling him “a great person with a golden heart” and “someone who always does something amazing.” It wasn’t just admiration; many shared their own personal experiences of similar encounters. One user commented, “It happens all the time. Happened to me once,” showing that Sheikh Hamdan’s kindness isn’t just a one-time act. Another user shared a more personal story, saying, “When I moved to Dubai four years ago, my goal was to meet him so I could ask him to be my business partner. Still waiting.” This reflects the deep admiration many have for the Crown Prince and the high regard people have for him, not just as a leader, but as a person.
Sheikh Hamdan is also recognized for his down-to-earth and humble personality. In addition to being the Crown Prince of Dubai, he serves as the UAE's Deputy Prime Minister and Defence Minister. His lifestyle is adventurous, and he has good relationships with both locals and expats in the country. His personable personality, combined with his willingness to give back to the community, has made him a popular figure in the UAE and elsewhere.
The video has triggered a surge of adoration on social media, cemmenting Sheikh Hamdan's reputation as a leader who sincerely cares about those around him. Many people have been moved by his gesture, which exemplifies humility and kindness in action.
