It’s not the first time the UAE’s Prime Minister has stepped in to help one of his residents. HH Sheikh Mohammed, who is known for having a keen interest in cycling, previously rescued a trio of cyclist stranded in the Dubai desert.
Dubai teacher Kayleigh Hutchison, along with friends Linda and Brenda were on a 50 kilometre cycle in Al Qudra when her bike chain came off and became twisted. With little phone battery and no tools, the girls began to panic. Later on, a car of local men approached, offering water and helping repair the bike, including HH Sheikh Mohammed, and fixed the bike so the ladies could continue their cycle home.
