H.H Sheikh Mohammed and Tom Cruise Walk Dubai Film Festival's Red Carpet

We all know that Sheikh Mohammed is sitting in the cat bird seat. But please allow me to put down my criticism in black and white. I know that DFV is sponsored by Sheikh Mohammed but that doesn't mean he should be personally there to meet and greet celebrities like Tom Cruise. I don't hold anything against Tom Cruise but Sheikh Mohammed is one of the greatest men on earth, a member of Al Maktoum royal family and he is simply one of the very well respected figures in UAE..heck in the entire WORLD and he is way better than this.

My only thing is that most of Americans are very arrogant and they don not give a damn about the greatest Arab man in fact they treat Arabs with brutal sarcasm.  I am not saying we should treat them the same but we shouldn't give them exceptional treatment and give a celebrity the privilege of been walked down the red carpet by the one and only the RULER OF DUBAI himself. Even though he has been voted Marketer of the Decade at the Gulf Brands of the Decade Awards but I always feel that Sheikh Mohammed has feet of clay when it comes to marketing his city.


What do you guys think?

Well... I agree with you, but I think he does have his passions and hobbies too, it helps people connect with him... I was actually quite surprised when he said to my father that he had heard of him... as Arabs tend to stick with their own sheikhs (of Islamic religion) My father was invited to his palace after an Islamic conference so that's where they met.

Aloha from Hawaii. I stumbled across your blog and was intrigued. I do agree that royalty of any country deserves the upmost respect and honor. I have just made several connections with my company on LinkedIn from several business leaders from your community. I am moved by the kindness, warmth and acceptance from the people of the UAE and Qatar. I have expressed my appreciation and the honor I felt when the connections were made. Shukran for your blog or as we say in Hawaii "mahalo" Mitzi Toro
