An act of generosity by the Crown Prince of Dubai, Sheikh Hamdan bin Mohammed bin Rashid Al Maktoum, has gone viral on social media. Affectionately known as ‘Fazza’, a pseudonym used for his poetry, meaning “the one who helps” in Arabic, the crown prince surprised diners at a Dubai mall restaurant by paying for everyone’s meal during an impromptu visit.
In a video shared by local media outlet Lovin Dubai, a woman claimed that she was visiting the La Maison Ani restaurant in the mall when she spotted the crown prince, who had also come for lunch.
“Sheikh Hamdan came to this restaurant for lunch, and he covered the bill for everyone in the restaurant,” the woman said.
“He paid the entire bill,” she added, estimating that the total bill amount might have been between AED 25,000 and AED 30,000.
