The Dubai Ruler was seen casually walking in Mall of the Emirates, without any cordoning off of hallways or extra security detail.

A number of mall-goers were able to quickly capture Sheikh Mohammed bin Rashid on video before he walked past them. An influencer took a video in which he is seen walking past Carrefour, a pharmacy, and a kiosk. Another video showed him going inside the huge hypermarket.

3. Atlantis, The Palm

The Dubai Ruler was recently spotted at Nobu, Atlantis The Palm, without high security or guards and a relatively small entourage. As he walked into the popular Japanese restaurant, diners started pulling out their phones to capture the moment. The excited whispers turned into a loud murmur throughout the restaurant.

In photos posted on social media, Sheikh Mohammed can be seen visiting the supermarket’s Al Khawaneej outlet and walking past aisles of bottled juices, nuts, and bread. Taking to Twitter, Deputy Chairman and CEO of global well-being company GMG Mohammad A. Baker called the UAE VP’s visit an "honour".
