Natalya Aliyeva is an ordinary girl who worked as a waitress, who realized the dream of millions of women. She is the same Cinderella from a fairy tale. One day, when Natasha met a rich sheikh, her fate changed. Today it looks more like an Arabian fairy tale.
Meeting with the sheikh
Natalya Aliyeva worked in Belarus as a waitress at the Minsk Hotel. It was often visited by rich and famous guests. But she could only dream of starting to live with one of them.
Everything changed in September 2007. Sheikh Saeed bin al-Maktoum, a member of the UAE’s ruling family, came to Belarus to take part in the trap shooting tournament. Going on a trip to Eastern Europe, he was the last to think about romantic adventures. The ambitious Said only dreamed of medals in the championship.
But when he saw Natalya Aliyeva passing by, he forgot both the guns and the plates. He did not go to the competition the next day, but spent the whole day with a charming waitress. A few weeks later they got married.
How the sheikh met his love
At the same time, it is still not clear how Sheikh Said and Natalya Aliyeva met. The fact is that she worked as a waitress in a bar, and the Arab practically did not leave the room. He tried to concentrate, prepared diligently for the competition. He prayed five times a day. He brought with him four chefs who prepared food for him, he ate, also without leaving his room.
Hotel managers say that the apartments were booked for a week. The guest arrived in Minsk by car from Italy.
Natalya Aliyeva is from Azerbaijan, she is Muslim by religion. She herself claims that she married for love.
Moreover, the sheikh already has one wife, from whom Said has five children.
Sheikh did not have enough weeks in Minsk. He extended his stay at the hotel several times. The marriage was concluded without leaving the hotel. Unlike a young wife, a man does not comment on anything. It is only known that after the wedding, the happy newlyweds went to Cyprus. For the next shooting competition.
Al Maktoum Dynasty
The family is quite famous in the United Arab Emirates. She leads her family tree since 1833. From 1971 to the present, its representatives are the emirs of Dubai, hereditary prime ministers and vice-presidents of the kingdom.
The eldest in the family now is Sheikh Mohammed bin Rashid al-Maktoum. He is the prime minister of Dubai. One of the most respected Arab specialists in horse racing and thoroughbred horses. At one time, he tried to acquire the famous English football club Liverpool, but failed.
In general, the al-Maktoum family is famous for its success in sports. Sheikh Said has repeatedly won medals of various denominations in the competition for trap shooting.
Birth of a child
A year later, with a small Alieva Natalia gave birth to a child. The life of the princess in the palace became complicated with the advent of the baby. But advice is provided by relatives, close ones and a large number of servants. At the same time, Natasha does not directly accept the help of the nanny, since she was brought up in a different culture. She believes that the mother herself should take care of her child.
Only cousin Valentina, who lives with her in the palace, came to help her. Sheikh Said al-Maktoum has warm feelings for her daughter. He loves to put her to bed on her own and mess with her all night.
They called her Alia, in honor of mother Said. But the house is called simply - Lily. She grows bilingual. Around her, they constantly speak Russian and Arabic.
In honor of the birth of her daughter, Natalya Aliyeva, the sheikh’s wife, received a truly royal gift - a gold ring with a scattering of diamonds. And also a car - a black Land Rover jeep. In her personal fleet, she became the third. Baby Lily, too, was not left without a gift. Father gave golden earrings with diamonds to the baby. Naturally, she does not wear jewelry.
Mom and daughter dress up in brand clothes of the most famous fashion brands. But there is clothing from ordinary stores in their wardrobe. They try not to cult from things in this family, Natalya says.
Up to a year, Princess-waitress Natalya Aliyeva breast-fed her daughter. Complementary feeding began at about four months. She cooked cereals herself, cooked them, made vegetable puree in a blender. They do not trust anyone to cook food for their baby; everything is done only by herself.
Relationship with second wife
It is difficult for a person with our mentality to understand how a man can live with two wives. But Natalya Aliyeva is a Muslim, therefore her cultural ideas are somewhat different. They are closer to Arab culture. Therefore, they communicate well with their first wife, Said, and have picnics for children together. Older brothers and sisters are still jealous of the baby, but in the future, Natalia is sure, their relationship will improve.
To the first wife of Said, she does not feel jealousy. Although at first it was not easy to get used to. Now everything is fine, the relationship between them is excellent. Wives even exchange gifts with each other, bake cakes together. Big families often gather for the holidays. They are attended by up to hundreds of people!
The Arab mentality is markedly different from ours. People are open to their own, everyone treats each other with respect and love.
Arab climate
The climate in the United Arab Emirates is not easy. Very hot. Natasha and her daughter have already adapted. The only time for walking has to be chosen either from morning, to noon, or after lunch, not earlier than 16 hours. Daytime on the street is simply unbearable.
Walking Natalia Aliyeva, whose biography today captivates many young girls around the world, with her daughter a lot. They live according to this order: in the morning they eat, add a little more and devote time to games. They sleep during the day, go for another walk in the afternoon, and in the evening they must go swimming. With great interest, the baby watches the diverse living creatures that live in the sheikh's estate. These are goats, peacocks and even giraffes.
The young mother does not have a single free minute. From the age of three months, the daughter began to cut her first teeth, which brought Natasha several sleepless nights. Not immediately managed to return to form. During childbirth, she gained 14 kilograms. But already half of this weight has gone in the first two weeks after the birth of a daughter. Fitness classes, swimming in the pool and exercises in the gym helped a lot. Fortunately, all this is at home, you do not need to go anywhere. Now the weight of the heroine is 58 kilograms, while before pregnancy she was in the region of 55-56.
New life
Adapting to a new life was not easy. Especially moral. Still, the UAE for Aliyeva, who grew up in Belarus, is a new country. It took time to learn it, to learn the language. Today she speaks and writes in Arabic. Not yet free. Where words are missing, you have to use the English language.
The global financial and economic crisis practically did not affect the Sheikh’s family. At least Natalya does not notice him. He only draws attention to the fact that some construction projects are frozen in the city itself, somewhere they are cutting workers. But there are no global problems.
