He was the first United Arab Emirates ambassador to the United Kingdom and non resident ambassador to France.[1] Al Tajir spends much of his time at his London home or at Keir House, his 18,000-acre (73 km2) Stirlingshire estate. He has interests in finance and property, and owns the Highland Spring bottled water company.[2]
