You may have seen members of UAE royal families spending time with wild animals in the desert, or skydive over the Palm, or swim with elephants, but what you may not have seen ever before is a UAE minister playing a simple game of table tennis.

In a video posted on Instagram, Sheikh Nahyan bin Mubarak Al Nahyan, Minister of Culture and Knowledge Development, can be seen playing table tennis with an unseen partner, all dressed in the traditional kandoora.

Sheikh Nahyan can be seen casually volleying the ball to the other side of the table a few times, until he receives a loose shot, and smashes it down to the other side.

The video was posted by his daughter Sheikha Alyazia bint Nahyan bin Mubarak Al Nahyan.
