Everything you need to know about the glamorous young couple. 

We love a royal wedding at FACT. So, we were excited to hear about the latest royal wedding in the UAE between Dubai’s Sheikha Bint Mohammed Bin Rashid Al Maktoum and Sheikh Mana Bin Mohammed Bin Rashid Bin Mana Al Maktoum. So, courtesies at the ready, here’s what you need to know about the power couple. 

The wedding took place in April 2023, and was confirmed by Sheikha Mahra and Sheikh Mana. The pair shared an Instagram story, which included a poem written by Sheikh Mana’s father. 

The poem read: “There were joys on God’s Day, books were written and congratulations were exchanged from every home. Everyone is blessed with joy, and our night is as bright as day from the good news on the day of ‘Mana.’ From the daughters of the wind and along the fringe is a ‘Mahra’ in which there is fondness and estrangement.”
