There’s no denying that Dubai’s royal family is pretty cool. After all, how many others would you catch on the London Underground? 

However, one of the Sheikhs in particular is known for his adventurous lifestyle, whether he’s jumping off the top of the world’s tallest building or plunging the depths in a scuba suit.

Yes, we’re obviously talking about H.H. Sheikh Hamdan, Crown Prince of Dubai – or Fazza, as he’s become affectionately known.

If you’ve seen the young Sheikh’s Instagram, you’ll know what we mean. He’s garnered over four million followers thanks to snapshots from his action-packed lifestyle.

Fazza loves his animals though, so we’ve gone ahead and thrown together a compilation of our favourite snaps of Fazza and his furry friends for that much-needed Thursday ‘aww’ session.
