Shaikh Mohammad and Abu Dhabi Crown Prince hold talks over a bench

UAE leaders, renowned for their generosity and overseeing some of the world's biggest multi-billion sovereign wealth funds, gathered over the weekend to discuss issues of the day — and their choice of a rather modest location was an instant hit among social media users

Shaikha Manal Bint Mohammad Bin Rashid Al Maktoum also posted a number of photos last Sunday on her Instagram account, accompanied with the caption: “My #family”.

The photos show His Highness Shaikh Mohammad Bin Rashid Al Maktoum, Vice-President and Prime Minister of the UAE and Ruler of Dubai holding talks with His Highness Shaikh Mohammad Bin Zayed Al Nahyan, Abu Dhabi Crown Prince and Deputy Supreme Commander of the UAE Armed Forces

While sitting under the shade of a tree, they discussed national issues related to overall development, the culture of giving, tolerance and ways of spreading happiness among UAE citizens, according to official agency WAM.

And it was not only the two leaders who decided to sit outdoors that day

The meeting was also attended by Shaikh Mansour Bin Zayed Al Nahyan, Deputy Prime Minister and Minister of Presidential Affairs, Shaikh Ahmad Bin Mohammad Bin Rashid Al Maktoum, chairman of the Mohammad Bin Rashid Al Maktoum Knowledge Foundation, and Dr Sultan Bin Ahmad Sultan Al Jaber, Minister of State
