In pictures: UAE Rulers' portraits in 'watercolour'

From left, Lt General Sheikh Saif bin Zayed, the deputy prime minister and interior minister; Sheikh Mohammed bin Rashid, the Vice President and Prime Minister the UAE and Ruler of Dubai; Sheikh Khalifa bin Zayed, the President of the UAE and Ruler of Abu Dhabi; Sheikh Mohammed bin Zayed, the Crown Prince of Abu Dhabi and Deputy Supreme Commander of the Armed Forces and Sheikh Hazza bin Zayed the National Security Advisor.

The Rulers of the UAE are so well recognised that their identity is even known under water. That was apparent after Emirates Identity Authority workers took to the sea off Ajman this week holding numerous pictures of the leaders as seen in this portrait of Sheikh Mohammed.

The exercise by nine Eida employees was to support the 41st National Day celebrations on December 2.
