Her Highness Sheikha Mahra bint Mohammed bin Rashid Al Maktoum has slowly but surely returned back to social media.
After a few months of pause, the Dubai Royal has subtly been updating her Instagram account, which now boasts 1.1 million followers.
And it seems a gallant return called the debut of a radiant new look. The sheikha recently took to Instagram and shared a stunning selfie, showcasing her once-blonde ombre locks with a dashing dark brown and bronzy makeup.
She previously sported a dazzling blonde look just before New Year’s whilst travelling around Dubai hotpots with her friend, Dr Mahra Lufti.
Though she hasn’t been actively posting on her platform, the Dubai Sheikha has shared minimal glimpses of her new life post-divorce and about her almost one-year-old daughter, Mahra, via her Instagram Stories.
Her last noted post on Instagram was a sweet portrait of her child back on January 9, 2025, when the family paid a visit to Dubai’s Miracle Garden.
Why did Sheikha Mahra delete her Instagram?
Before returning to Instagram, the sheikha previously deactivated her account, which lasted for a week.
While no information was disclosed as to why the Dubai royal deleted her key platform where she shares updates on her fragrance brand, Mahra M1, and glimpses into her life, eagle-eyed followers of the sheikha noticed her return to the platform.
However, many fans of Sheikha Mahra noticed posts highlighting her trips around Dubai with famed American rapper French Montana and collaborated posts from her brand, Mahra M1, have been removed from her Instagram and since then deleted (but the website remains).
Despite many of her 1.1 million followers speculating on the unexpected disappearance and its meaning, her cult-like following seems more than pleased that the sheikha is back on social media.
Now, her Instagram features her life as a mother, with the most recent pictures being portraits of her and her daughter, Mahra.
Who is Sheikha Mahra?
Sheikha Mahra is the daughter of His Highness Sheikh Mohammed bin Rashid Al Maktoum, Vice President and Prime Minister of the United Arab Emirates and Ruler of Dubai, and is a well-known princess, philanthropist, businesswoman and online influencer.
She plays a significant role in spreading awareness of societal issues and spends her royal engagements giving back to the community.
Whether it’s advocating for children of determination or empowering women and local designers, the Sheikha is well noted for her charitable developments in the UAE.
