The President of the United Arab Emirates, Sheikh Mohamed bin Zayed Al Nahyan, and Dubai's Crown Prince, Sheikh Hamdan bin Mohammed bin Rashid Al Maktoum, walked among shoppers at the Dubai Mall on Monday. This came after the country confirmed it had intercepted dozens of drones and aerial attacks launched by Iran. Despite heightened tensions in the Gulf, the mall remained crowded with residents and tourists. In videos shared online, Sheikh Mohamed was seen inviting a young girl towards him, crouching to her level and kissing her hand before she rejoined her family.
