Does anyone know anything about Sheikh Majid? We were introduced, but I am just curious about him.. I don't know much about his role, and stuff like that.
Is he going to University? Does he live in Dubai?

This is from Sheikh Mo's website it is a profile on Sheikh Majid it is a little old from 2003


Sheikh Majid bin Mohammed Al Maktoum is a multi-talented young man who enjoys the traditional sports of horse and camel riding as well as football, swimming and shooting.

He considers his father, General Sheikh Mohammed bin Rashid Al Maktoum, Crown Prince of Dubai and UAE Defence Minister, his coach, teacher, and mentor.

Sheikh Majid, 16, studies at Rashid School for Boys. He is heavily involved with many sporting and social activities. He has participated in several endurance races in Europe, and is currently preparing for the World Junior Championships on September 27 in Italy.

He says that his father taught him that it is much more important to build a mutual understanding with your horse than to win races. A rider must know how far he can push his horse, sense when it is tiring and not just focus on winning at any price.

He believes that the rider bears 80% of the responsibility with 20% left to the horse. The rider should always control the speed of the race.

Sheikh Majid feels that today’s youth should be more involved in traditional sports, including horse riding, swimming, shooting, and camel riding, because he believes they play a major role in developing people mentally and physically.

Sheikh Majid is also following in his father’s footsteps as a racehorse owner. He says that he currently owns 35 racehorses and is eager to continue developing his stable.

Away from sports, Sheikh Majid enjoys reading about history in Arabic and English and is also very interested in current affairs.

So what was he like? was he polite? arrogant? just a regular kid?
:) just curious. I've heard of encounters with both Rashid bin Mo and Hamdan bin Mo, but none of the other brothers.

he is incredibly handsome and the son of the mysterious lebanese lady.

Shaikh Ahmed bin Mohammed bin Hasher Al-Maktoum won an Olympic gold medal in the men’s double trap shooting final in the 2004 Games at Athens.

Shaikh Ahmed bin Hasher Al-Maktoum is not only the first Emirati to win an Olympic gold medal and the first sportsman from an Arab country to do so at the 2004 Games, but he also tied a world record.

This is not much more than a guess on my part, but I do not think Shaikh Ahmed is a descendant of His Highness Shaikh Rashid bin Saeed bin Maktoum Al-Maktoum (grandfather of the current ruler of Dubai, His Highness Shaikh Mohammed bin Rashid bin Saeed Al-Maktoum).

Can anyone tell me what is the family relation between His Highness Shaikh Mohammed bin Rashid bin Saeed Al-Maktoum (ruler of Dubai) and Shaikh Ahmed bin Mohammed bin Hasher Al-Maktoum (who won the gold medal for the United Arab Emirates)?

Thak you,
