Sheikh Mohammed bin Rashid, Vice President and Ruler of Dubai, met Sheikh Mohamed bin Zayed, Crown Prince of Abu Dhabi and Deputy Supreme Commander of the Armed Forces, to discuss the UAE's future.

They spoke about the success of Expo 2020 Dubai in bringing people from around the world together to share ideas and experience other cultures.

They also spoke about the UAE's high ranking in global indices, even throughout the Covid-19 pandemic, and the initiatives that make up the Projects of the 50.

Sharing photos of the occasion online, Sheikh Mohammed said he met Sheikh Mohamed at Al Marmoom in Dubai on Monday in time for iftar.

“While receiving my brother, Mohamed bin Zayed, at Al Marmoom rest house in Dubai this afternoon, we discussed a number of current issues and we talked about a group of coming projects of the homeland,” he said.

“Our country is developing rapidly and its future is good, noble and honourable, God willing.”

The photos show that Sheikh Hamdan, Crown Prince of Dubai and Chairman of the Executive Council, was in attendance.

Preparations for the next 50 years of growth for the UAE, plus the government's efforts to provide a good quality of life to citizens and residents were also on the agenda.

Sheikh Mohamed also posted a message online on the occasion, saying the two leaders discussed the UAE's “many blessings".

“I was honoured to join my brother, Mohammed bin Rashid, for iftar in Dubai, where we reflected on our country’s many blessings and discussed the continuing development of the UAE under the wise leadership of President Sheikh Khalifa,” Sheikh Mohamed wrote.

The meeting was also attended by Sheikh Mansour bin Zayed, Deputy Prime Minister and Minister of Presidential Affairs; Sheikh Ahmed bin Mohammed, chairman of the Dubai Media Council, and Sheikh Mohammed bin Hamad bin Tahnoon, adviser for Special Affairs at the Ministry of Presidential Affairs.

Tips for used car buyers
  • Choose cars with GCC specifications
  • Get a service history for cars less than five years old
  • Don’t go cheap on the inspection
  • Check for oil leaks
  • Do a Google search on the standard problems for your car model
  • Do your due diligence. Get a transfer of ownership done at an official RTA centre
  • Check the vehicle’s condition. You don’t want to buy a car that’s a good deal but ends up costing you Dh10,000 in repairs every month
  • Validate warranty and service contracts with the relevant agency and and make sure they are valid when ownership is transferred
  • If you are planning to sell the car soon, buy one with a good resale value. The two most popular cars in the UAE are black or white in colour and other colours are harder to sell

Sheikh Zayed's poem

When it is unveiled at Abu Dhabi Art, the Standing Tall exhibition will appear as an interplay of poetry and art. The 100 scarves are 100 fragments surrounding five, figurative, female sculptures, and both sculptures and scarves are hand-embroidered by a group of refugee women artisans, who used the Palestinian cross-stitch embroidery art of tatreez. Fragments of Sheikh Zayed’s poem Your Love is Ruling My Heart, written in Arabic as a love poem to his nation, are embroidered onto both the sculptures and the scarves. Here is the English translation.

Your love is ruling over my heart

Your love is ruling over my heart, even a mountain can’t bear all of it

Woe for my heart of such a love, if it befell it and made it its home

You came on me like a gleaming sun, you are the cure for my soul of its sickness

Be lenient on me, oh tender one, and have mercy on who because of you is in ruins

You are like the Ajeed Al-reem [leader of the gazelle herd] for my country, the source of all of its knowledge

You waddle even when you stand still, with feet white like the blooming of the dates of the palm

Oh, who wishes to deprive me of sleep, the night has ended and I still have not seen you

You are the cure for my sickness and my support, you dried my throat up let me go and damp it

Help me, oh children of mine, for in his love my life will pass me by.
