Patrons and the staff at a popular cafe in Dubai were taken by surprise as His Highness Sheikh Mohammed bin Rashid Al Maktoum, Vice-President and Prime Minister of UAE and Ruler of Dubai, arrived at one of the outlets in Jumeirah.
In videos that have gone viral on social media, Sheikh Mohammed is seen arriving with a small entourage at the Cipriani Dolci, and patrons waiting in queue to get a table, are pleasantly surprised to see His Highness up so close.
Imagine the scene: you’re flipping through Instagram, sipping your Latte at Cipriani Dolci, and all of sudden you are in the company of royalty!
That’s exactly what happened when His Highness Sheikh Mohammed bin Rashid Al Maktoum, Vice-President and Prime Minister of UAE and Ruler of Dubai, popped into the popular Jumeirah cafe just yesterday.
For those unawares, Cipriani Dolce opened in Jumeirah just last month. It follows on from its first location in Mall of the Emirates.
Cipriani Dolci’s menu is a nod to Italian cuisine. It’s straightforward – think breakfast options like eggs and smoothies, and all-day dishes like pizzas and sandwiches. They’ve got this dish, Harry’s Tower, inspired by their original Harry’s Bar in Venice. It’s a mix of Italian snacks, pretty popular with the regulars.
Then there are the pastries. Displayed in a glass case, you’ll find everything from Bombo Loni donuts to cannoli. Simple, yet satisfying.
What makes Cipriani Dolci stand out, though, is the unexpected. Like yesterday, when Sheikh Mohammed casually walked in.
