Sheikh Hamdan bin Mohammed bin Rashid Al Maktoum (more commonly known as "Fazza"), 34, is also the king of social media with over 7,5 million followers on Instagram and Twitter. It’s understandable, because he does not only perform his princely duties like being Chairman of the Dubai Executive Council, the Dubai Autism Centre, and the Dubai Sports Council, but also finds a lot of time for his hobbies. He fills his free time with skydiving, horseback riding, cycling, ziplining, spearfishing and diving. If that's not enough, he is also a talented photographer, world traveller, and published poet. It’s truly awesome to follow every step of such a man.
This is Sheikh Hamdan bin Mohammed bin Rashid Al Maktoum, the Crown Prince of Dubai. He shares his incredible life and adventures with his 5.1 million Instagram followers.
He loves to travel, and spends much of his time exploring the globe. The more extreme the trip, the better. Here he is in Iceland...
...landing in Tanzania...
...on a super casual balcony in Canada...
...climbing through a glacier...
...and wearing a t-shirt and trainers to take cheesy tourist photos in Pisa, Italy.
He usually travels in the lap of luxury. Here he is in first class on Emirates.
But he's also at home on more modest modes of transport — like the London Underground.
He knows London well, as he attended the London School of Economics after his time at Sandhurst Military Academy, the prestigious British army school that has trained the likes of Prince William and Prince Harry.
Luckily, Fazza takes a lot of selfies, so every moment is documented for his fans.
He is a talented photographer, so his photo feed is pretty incredible.
He is also a keen athlete.
He likes spearfishing...
...cycling...
...ziplining....
...snowboarding...
...playing tennis....
...deep sea diving...
...and horseback riding. He placed first in the Sheikh Mohammed Bin Rashid Al Maktoum Endurance Cup, a 160km ride, in 2015.
Oh, and don't forget the fact that he's a semi-professional skydiver.
Here he is literally flying through the sky...
...and riding on what appears to be a hover board.
Unsurprisingly, he fuels his adventures and sporting pursuits with coffee.
And packs sandwiches, on occasion.
He appears to be a major family man, which is lucky, since he has 22 siblings.
He is constantly surrounded by his nieces and nephews.
He also spends a lot of time with animals. He has a clear adoration of horses...
...falcons...
...lions...
...and camels.
In fact, he appears to love all animals.
Somehow, he still finds time for his princely duties.
Hamdan is the Chairman of the Dubai Executive Council, head of the Sheikh Mohammed bin Rashid establishment for young entrepreneurs, and sits on the Dubai Sports and Dubai Autism Centre councils.
To top it all off, he's also a published poet, writing about themes like love, wisdom, and patriotism.
Here's an appropriate couplet, titled "The Sage Wisdom."
It begs the question: Is there anything this man can't do?
