If a westerner then just call Sir, HRH or Sheik. LOL I was told by a friend who use to work for Sheikh Mo and family, that it should be Your Highness, with no "Royal". I have never seen any of them, only the white merc with the no.1 plate crusing around. Hoping it will happen one day. Sh Mo sold his No1 plate for charity.

I certainly intended no slur, either - I've never met any of them and know little or nothing about them, and was just pointing to what looks to be a well-researched story in a reputable newspaper! Absolutely! It's all out there in the public domain and even on the shelves of the book shops here in DXB ....... I understand the MODS have to errr on the side of caution ... & I've never had a post deleted before. Just a bit baffled TBH ..... Oh well ;-) xxx

No royal slurs on EW, I get that, mods. But the information is in the public domain, and available in publications on sale freely in the UAE. I haven't read the book mentioned, so I can't vouch for its veracity, but [i'>The Guardian[/i'> doesn't print stuff without doing its investigation and researches, and I had it delivered to my door every day I lived in Dubai. Anyone can find the stories in its archives. ETA: Anea, your new post will just vanish again! <em>edited by Custard Apple on 19/01/2011</em>

PS Anea - read the book I mentioned below - gives a great low down of who's who and how they came to be there. Apparently Sheihk Mohammed IS very approachable and he used to deal with ANYONE who had a problem and went to him. Dubai has become a little to large for that nowadays but he seems like a thoroughly good chap in my book! Edit for spelling - doh! <em>edited by Loopy Lotti on 19/01/2011</em>

Who is DH??? Sorry, just joined the forum some days ago... These guys are of the ruler family, but at the end they are normal guys like you and me, no!? And they gave me the feeling that it would be okay to have a chat with them. Imagine, you could be a tourist having no idea who that guy is...what then?
