Her Highness Sheikha Mahra bint Mohammed bin Rashid Al Maktoum and His Highness Sheikh Mana bin Mohammed bin Rashid bin Mana Al Maktoum stepped out together last night to enjoy a Dubai date night ahead of the Holy Month of Ramadan.

The royal couple, who are expecting their first child together, enjoyed a night at Dubai Opera for an evening of theatre. In town only until March 10, Sheikha Mahra and Sheikh Mana attended a showing of the award-winning Phantom Of The Opera.

The picture-perfect couple looked fashionable, as always. In a picture shared by Her Highness on Instagram, Sheikh Mahra opted for a sleek black abaya and a white crossbody bag, while Sheikh Mana wore a charcoal grey kandoura.

The couple’s date night comes just after Sheikha Mahra celebrated her 30th birthday. While it was already a special occasion, the couple also announced the gender of their first child – it’s a baby girl!

With adoring pictures of her beloved husband Sheikh Mana, and her mum Zoe Grigorakos, the Emirati princess shared the exciting news.

Captioned “💖 26.02 💖” the pink wonderland backdrop gave away most of the reveal. Holding a rosy balloon with a question mark embellishment in one image, the photo that follows it reveals the answer. “It’s A Girl” the heart-shaped balloon exclaimed, which was held by both future parents.

The unborn baby girl will be another granddaughter to His Highness Sheikh Mohammed bin Rashid Al Maktoum, the Vice President and Prime Minister of the UAE and Ruler of Dubai. The new princess is a part of a renowned and purposeful lineage.
