Dubai: It was a once in a lifetime moment.

A European family on a picnic in Dubai was surprised when a 4x4 stopped near them.

It was none other than His Highness Shaikh Mohammad Bin Rashid Al Maktoum, Vice President and Prime Minister of the UAE and Ruler of Dubai, who was driving past and saw a car parked by the main road.

It seems the family parked their car which could not get any further into the desert, and walked a few hundred metres where they set up their camp.

Shaikh Mohammad noticed the car at the side of the road and footprints leading into the desert. Out of concern, he ventured in with his jeep and followed the trail to make sure everything was fine. He saw the family camping and taking pictures.

Greeting them, he welcomed them to Dubai and in true traditional Arab hospitality served them coffee, and spent time chatting with them.

The family experienced first-hand the chivalry and humility of a great leader.

He drives a G-wagen? I thought it'd be a Cayenne Turbo S or a custom Lambo LM002. Pffft..

Love the license tag though.

Whats up with this red color dude? Its really annoying.

I'm inclined to believe he can afford more than one car...

But that is what he drives though. I've seen him a few times driving by, a fast driver I might say.

lol i still remember the time when he stopped his car so me and others could cross the road .

he drives a white merc jeep with number 1. with no security cars around him.

and you can find him most of the time in Emirates towers or the wtc

He's got one of those Mercedes 4x4's and a farrari that he drives around alot.

It's a great story and a great man

With the help of a 12V coffee maker perhaps?

The G-wagen is the white Merc 4x4 jeep you guys are alluding to.

You said "we all know why" so pray tell.

I think he could do with some nice PR at the moment.
