Sheikh Hamdan on Instagram
Sheikh Hamdan frequently shares photos and creative videos of Dubai on Instagram. In December, he posted a video of a 3D-animated Burj Khalifa opening at the top to produce an umbrella, sheltering itself from the rain.
“It's that time of the year,” he wrote in the caption, alluding to rainy season in the Emirates.
On the same day, Sheikh Hamdan, who has more than 15 million followers on the social media platform, posted a side-by-side day and night time-lapse of Dubai.
Sheikh Hamdan also often shares throwbacks that offer insights into his life growing up and sporting adventures.
In September last year, he posted pictures from his childhood showing his father, Sheikh Mohammed bin Rashid, Vice President and Ruler of Dubai, and even one of UAE Founding Father, the late Sheikh Zayed bin Sultan Al Nahyan.
