His Highness Sheikh Hamdan bin Mohammed bin Rashid Al Maktoum, Crown Prince of Dubai, Deputy Prime Minister, and Minister of Defense, has highlighted that the late Sheikh Rashid bin Saeed Al Maktoum, may he rest in peace, has laid out a vision for Dubai that spans the next 50 years. Although he has passed away, his contributions continue to resonate.
On the occasion of the 35th anniversary of Sheikh Rashid bin Saeed’s passing, Sheikh Hamdan shared his thoughts on his official account via the X platform: “May God have mercy on Sheikh Rashid bin Saeed Al Maktoum… the architect of modern Dubai, the father of its people, and the engineer of its progress… Rashid was a partner to Sheikh Zayed in founding the United Arab Emirates… His visionary outlook was ahead of its time, and he crafted the future of Dubai for the next 50 years… Though he has departed physically, his noble deeds and significant achievements remain present in our national narrative and the journey of our people.”
Rashid was a partner to Zayed in establishing the United Arab Emirates and had a forward-thinking vision.
He has departed physically, yet his noble actions and great accomplishments continue to be a part of our story.
