HH Sheikh Ammar bin Humaid Al Nuaimi, Crown Prince of Ajman, HH Sheikh Mohammed bin Hamad bin Mohammed Al Sharqi, Crown Prince of Fujairah, H.H. Sheikh Mohammed bin Saud bin Saqr Al Qasimi, Crown Prince of Ras al-Khaimah, were also among the royals at the wedding.
Sheikha Maryam and Sheikh Suhail announced their engagement last month, with members of the royal family sharing their congratulations across social media as the news broke.
A logo was also created to celebrate the occasion, intertwining the names of the happy couple.
Sheikha Maryam, who is a keen equestrian (much like her father), has not publicly commented on her nuptials.
She made headlines earlier this year after photographs and clips showing the royal, along with her sister, HH Sheikha Maitha bint Mohammed bin Rashid Al Maktoum, riding horses through the waves of Jumeirah Beach.
However, this wasn’t just your typical weekend canter—the two were part of a group pulling along wakeboarders and surfers from Surf House Dubai.
