Dubai Emir to build six-storey car park in London for his 114 luxury cars

Abu Dhabi, Apr 5: The Vice President of United Arab Emirates (UAE) and Ruler of Dubai Sheikh Mohammed bin Rashid Al Maktoum is planning is build a personal six-story super car park for his fleet of 114 luxury cars in London.

According to a report by MailOnline, a five-star accommodation will also be built which will include offices, bathrooms and three triple-bedroom flats to be used by the chauffeurs and staff of the super car park.

The super car park and the five star accommodation will be built next to Battersea heliport by the River Thames.

Once built the car park will allow the Sheikh, his associates along with his 23 children to arrive in the capital city of United Kingdom by helicopter and jump straight into whichever luxury car they like.

Al Maktoum also has business interests including the Godolphin horseracing stables and the Jumeirah luxury hotel group.

The construction cost of the super car park is estimated to be around £20million with construction sources saying that the cost will be alot more if the emir plans to cover it in marble.

The Smech Management Company submitted the plans for the land and planning application was approved by councillors at Wandsworth Borough Council.

The company is also behind the Sheikh's proposed 16-bedroom mansion in the Scottish Highlands.

Dubai is a Gulf Arab emirate that attracts tourists with the promise of an opulent lifestyle. Dubai built the world's tallest building, put a ski slope inside a shopping mall, and gave its cops a Lamborghini for a police car.

UAE officials are also planning to build the world's first temperate-controlled city in Dubai in a bid to become a year-round tourism destination despite soaring temperatures in summer that can reach nearly 50 C.

The city will be built on 48 million square feet which will contain the largest shopping mall on the planet, complete with climate-controlled streets, the world's largest indoor theme park and 100 hotels and apartments.

In meeting with Zohran Mamdani, Trump repeats claim he stopped India-Pak war

Agencies

November 22,2025

New York/Washington: US President Donald Trump has again claimed to have solved the conflict between India and Pakistan, repeating his assertion during a meeting with New York City Mayor-elect Zohran Mamdani in the Oval Office.

Mamdani flew to Washington DC for his first meeting with Trump in the White House on Friday. Trump said he “enjoyed” the meeting, which he described as “great.”

During remarks in the Oval Office, with Mamdani standing next to him, Trump repeated his claim that he solved the May conflict between India and Pakistan.

"I did eight peace deals of countries, including India and Pakistan,” he said.

On Wednesday, Trump had said he threatened to put 350 per cent tariffs on India and Pakistan if they did not end their conflict, repeating his claim that he solved the fighting between the nuclear-armed neighbours and that Prime Minister Narendra Modi had called him to say “we're not going to go to war.”

Since May 10, when Trump announced on social media that India and Pakistan had agreed to a “full and immediate” ceasefire after a “long night” of talks mediated by Washington, he has repeated his claim over 60 times that he “helped settle” the tensions between India and Pakistan.

India has consistently denied any third-party intervention. India launched Operation Sindoor on May 7, targeting terror infrastructure in Pakistan and Pakistan-occupied Kashmir in retaliation for the April 22 Pahalgam attack that killed 26 civilians. India and Pakistan reached an understanding on May 10 to end the conflict after four days of intense cross-border drone and missile strikes.

Mamdani emerged victorious in the closely-watched battle for New York City Mayor, becoming the first South Asian and Muslim to be elected to sit at the helm of the largest city in the US.

He had been the front-runner in the NYC Mayoral election for months and defeated Republican nominee Curtis Sliwa and political heavyweight former New York State Governor Andrew Cuomo, who ran as an independent candidate and was officially endorsed by Trump just hours before the elections.

Indian-descent Mamdani is the son of renowned filmmaker Mira Nair and Columbia University professor Mahmood Mamdani. He was born and raised in Kampala, Uganda and moved to New York City with his family when he was 7. Mamdani became a naturalised US citizen only recently, in 2018.
