Dubai - Dubai ruler Mohammed bin Rashid makes surprise visit to govt offices and finds nobody at work

This is the awkward moment the ruler of Dubai walks into civil service offices for an unannounced spot check - and finds nobody doing any work. Sheik Mohammed visited several government departments on Sunday morning - a normal working day in United Arab Emirates - and found several unoccupied desks that should have been populated by senior officers. Video taken by Khalifa Saeed and tweeted by the government's media office show the Sheik walking alone through a luxurious corner office with only a portrait of himself on the wall for company.
