Dubai’s royal family is marking another heartwarming chapter this year as Sheikh Maktoum bin Mohammed bin Rashid Al Maktoum welcomed his fourth child, a daughter named Maryam.
The joyful news was shared by Dubai Crown Prince Sheikh Hamdan bin Mohammed through an Instagram story, simply writing, “Congratulations Maryam Bint Maktoum Bin Mohammed Bin Rashid Al Maktoum.” The post served as a quiet yet meaningful tribute to his niece’s arrival.
This year has been one of abundant blessings for the Emirati royals. In March, Sheikh Hamdan himself welcomed his fourth child — a baby girl named Hind — joining his twins Rashid and Sheikha, born in 2021, and his son Mohammed, born in 2023.
Beyond Dubai, Abu Dhabi’s royal family also celebrated a new addition earlier this year. Crown Prince Sheikh Khaled bin Mohamed bin Zayed Al Nahyan welcomed a son in March, named Sheikh Zayed — a significant name in UAE history.
