Sheikh Mohammed bin Rashid Al Maktoum, one of the wealthiest men in the world and the ruling Emir of Dubai, visited several government offices on Sunday morning.

Despite Sunday being a normal working day in the United Arab Emirates, Sheikh Mohammed was met by several empty desks while being recorded by a film crew.

The Sheikh can be seen walking alone through a grand office, complete with a picture of him on the wall, but no staff.

The 67-year-old then casually picks up a book and flicks through it before turning to leave.
