A video has been shared of Sheikh Mohammed bin Rashid taking a trip on a Dubai Metro train.

The footage of the Vice President and Ruler of Dubai was posted online by the emirate's Roads and Transport Authority on Friday.

Earlier in the week, Sheikh Mohammed, who celebrates his birthday today, oversaw the retrofitting of an Emirates A380 when he visited the airline's engineering centre.

Sheikh Mohammed watched as a jet was prepared for a fresh interior as part of the airline's $2 billion overhaul programme.

He visited SeaWorld Abu Dhabi on Tuesday, praising the emirate's protection of marine life.

And images, which were widely shared on social media on Monday, showed Sheikh Mohammed and an entourage touring the cycling path of Dubai Canal.
