The book includes a comprehensive review that highlights the march of the late Sheikh Zayed’s companion, the founder of Dubai, and his many important achievements that contributed to qualitative changes in Dubai’s social and economic life and the UAE in general.

HE Saeed Al Nabouda, Acting Director General of Dubai Culture, said: “This event reinforces the loyalty and gratitude of the founder of the Emirate, the late Sheikh Rashid bin Saeed Al Maktoum, and his esteemed brothers who laid the foundation of a country we are proud to belong to. We organised this event at Etihad Museum, where the Founding Fathers’ lives and glories are always celebrated so that they may consistently be a source of inspiration for future generations. We are delighted to launch ‘Rashid: The Leader Who Envisioned the Future’, a rich historical book that provides researchers, students, and those interested to learn more about the great leaders, especially the achievements of this great personality, which transformed Dubai to a world-class prestigious city, placing it on the list of the fastest growing cities in the world and becoming one of the world’s trade capitals.”

The book reviews Sheikh Rashid bin Saeed’s great achievements, accompanied by the late Sheikh Zayed, and their role in the Union’s march to promote the UAE’s superiority both regionally and internationally, their effective political and economic roles, as well as their contribution to the region’s stability and security.
