Footballing royalty met UAE royalty as Cristiano Ronaldo was pictured with the Vice President and Ruler of Dubai Sheikh Mohammed bin Rashid and Crown Prince Sheikh Hamdan bin Mohammed.
Ronaldo has been in Dubai for a few days and has been making the most of the warm weather with time spent on the beach and also training at the Nad Al Sheba Sports Complex.
The Manchester United star was pictured in Sheikh Hamdan's Instagram stories, along with his son Cristiano Junior.
Sheikh Mohammed on Thursday attended the Arab Health 2022 event in Dubai. The event brings together more than 3,500 exhibitors from 60 countries, all aiming to develop solutions to pressing health challenges both today and in the future. Sheikh Hamdan was present on the first day.
Ronaldo and Sheikh Hamdan have met before, having been pictured running together on treadmills in December 2020.
