Shaikh Nahyan bin Mubarak Al Nahyan, Minister for Culture, Youth and Community Development, has apologised to a lady who he thought was affected by the dust kicked up by a helicopter he was travelling in.

In a video widely shared by social media users in UAE, Shaikh Nahyan can be seen walking up to the lady, sitting next to her and speaking to her at length.

Shaikh Nahyan was paying a visit to the family of Emirati martyr Abdul Rahman Al Baloushi in Al Rashidiya locality of Dubai.

The helicopter had landed in front of the lady's home.

Social media users across the board cheered the gesture, which only demonstrates how the UAE leadership is closely connected with the people, and is another example of the simplicity of the Emirati people.
