Sheikh Rashid bin Saeed Al Maktoum, ruler of Dubai for 32 years

[curupira]

Rashid bin Saeed Al Maktoum (1912 – 7 October 1990) (Arabic: راشد بن سعيد آل مكتوم‎) was the vice-president and prime minister of the United Arab Emirates and Emir of Dubai. He ruled for 32 years from 1958 until his death in 1990.

Sheikh Rashid bin Saeed Al Maktoum was responsible for the transformation of Dubai from a small cluster of settlements near the Dubai Creek to a modern port city and commercial hub. His famous line, "My grandfather rode a camel, my father rode a camel, I drive a Mercedes, my son drives a Land Rover, his son will drive a Land Rover, but his son will ride a camel," reflected his concern that Dubai's oil, which was discovered in 1966 and which began production in 1971, would run out within a few generations.
