HAMDAN BIN MOHAMMED,
                       Crown Prince Of Dubai

    A Decade Of Great
    Achievements
    And Unceasingly Initiatives
I t is indeed a great pleasure and an honor for us to extend our warm congratulations to His Excellency Sheikh
  Hamdan Bin Mohammed bin Rashid Al Maktoum, Crown Prince of Dubai and Chairman of the Dubai Execu-
tive Council of Dubai Government, on the occasion of the 10th anniversary of His Excellency’s Accession Day.

The celebration of His Excellency this year is special and distinguished, as we began celebrating His Excel-
lency Generous Gesture, the launch of the First Edition of His Excellency Sheikh Hamdan Bin Mohammed bin
Rashid Al Maktoum, Pure-Bred Arabian Camel Races Festival.

This Generous Gesture, comes in line with His Excellency unlimited support to revive traditional and heritage
sports, it also represents a good opportunity for camels’ owners to verify and readiness of their camels for the
final festivals.

The launch of this unique challenge aimed at safeguarding the intangible cultural heritage and encouraging all
UAE nationals to participate in traditional sports in an atmosphere that exudes a sense of national pride and
community spirit, and His Excellency firm belief that sport is one of the most important means having a sig-
nificant role in shaping the human being and formulating the renaissance of the nations and their civilization.

His Excellency has always stated that , camel racing sport, does mean a lot to me, not in a winning level, but
most important to me, is to revive this heritage and traditional sport of our fathers and grandfathers among all
UAE nationals and the GCC Couturiers as well.

At the Dubai Camel Racing Club, and as usual, all the necessary preparations and arrangements were made
on all levels, in order to produce this distinguished event in an elegant style.

We wish His Excellency Sheikh Hamdan, more happy decades to come.

                               We ask Almighty Allah Reconcile and Repay
