No stunt doubles here…
It’s no secret that His Highness Sheikh Hamdan bin Mohammed bin Rashid Al Maktoum, Crown Prince of Dubai and Chairman of The Executive Council of Dubai is a fan of living life to the full. Our Crown Prince, affectionately known as Fazza, is a known adventurer and thrill-seeker, documenting much of his experiences on his social media pages.
Besides sharing his love of animals, photos of his family, snippets of his day and more, the Crown Prince has done some pretty cool things that will make your jaw drop.
After (a lot of) scrolling, we have shared some of the coolest things the Crown Prince has done in our beautiful city and around the world.

Have you ever wondered what the view would be like from the very top of Burj Khalifa? No, we don’t mean from At The Top. We’re talking about the tip of the spire – which is around 828 metres from ground level. The Crown Prince did just that back in December 2020, taking to Instagram to share a video of his experience. The video begins in a narrow cylinder with a ladder up one side where Fazza can be seen harnessed up with a helmet, mid-way up the ladder.

If the above post didn’t impress you enough, this one surely will. Here is a snap shared on Instagram of Sheikh Hamdan swimming with sharks. Posted during Shark Week, Sheikh Hamdan captioned the post with ‘Swimming with these giant sharks is truly a breathtaking experience, one that is difficult to put into words.

Sheikh Hamdan shares the cool adrenaline-pumping activity was done from a C-130 Hercules – which is a military transport aircraft. The group skydive was done over Palm Jumeirah which is visible after the camera focuses at the end. Faz has shared videos of his sky diving thrills plenty of time, so it’s safe to say it’s an activity he is quite well-versed in.
