From NYTimes:

"Among the wary was the owner of Gainsborough Farm, Sheik Maktoum bin Rashid al-Maktoum, who is the ruler of Dubai and the architect of the 1,950-acre bluegrass quilt here that celebrates luxury and care for horses. His brother, Sheik Mohammed bin Rashid al-Maktoum, has also yet to mate his best mares to Elusive Quality, even though he owns him."

Shk Mak-owns farm
Shk Mo-owns horse
Shk Ahmed-owns PA's heart

We've reached page 11! My last post was after page 10... I didn't know we were on 11 already.

SC: Naguib Mahfouz is fantastic! Dubai TV did a mini series on his Trilogy which was very good and very close to the story.

Houri: which Prince Bandar? Please don't tell me the Saudi ambassador to the US? Please sweetie...please 

Noooooooooooooooooooooo layla he is another person

actually he is not very famous I see him some time on tv with his father

his father poet and prince of Asir and his uncle is saud al -faisal

Danke Schön, Pallas Athina!

By the way, Houri, I presumed you were from Saudi Arabia as you 'fetish' some of their princes Nothing wrong with that. Everyone knows about my obsession with the UAE Sheikhs (but I'm willing to settle for any S-h-e-i-k-h).

Oh, Kuwait. Is the ruling family called the Al-Sabahs in Kuwait? Anyone worth fancying? :woot:

Maybe we shoud dedicate a thread to our prominent Sheikhas, say wot? I'm dying to know more about all these Sheikhas and I believe I read somewhere that Sheikh Hazza's *attention everyone* wife, named Mosa, wrote a book about Baba Zayed (her father-in-law) and his achievements.
