    To Be the First: A glimpse into the extraordinary life of  His Highness Sheikh Mohammed bin Rashid Al Maktoum

    Everything you need to know about ‘To Be the First’

    To Be the First: The Authorised Biography of His Highness Sheikh Mohammed bin Rashid Al Maktoum is released today. It offers an unprecedented insight into the life of one of the world’s most visionary leaders. Written by British historian Graeme Wilson, the biography delves into the remarkable journey of Sheikh Mohammed. Ruler of Dubai, Vice President, and Prime Minister of the UAE. Through this book, readers will witness how Sheikh Mohammed’s legendary drive, ambition, and singularity of purpose have transformed not only Dubai but the entire UAE into a global powerhouse.
    From humble beginnings to an inspiring legacy

    Born in humble circumstances in an adobe house without electricity or running water, Sheikh Mohammed grew up witnessing acts of vision and leadership that would later inspire his own path. He observed his father, Sheikh Rashid bin Saeed Al Maktoum, alongside Sheikh Zayed bin Sultan Al Nahyan, seal the act of union that established the UAE with a historic handshake. This formative moment, coupled with Sheikh Rashid’s early development projects in Dubai, would shape Sheikh Mohammed’s own vision of progress and transformation.

    Did you know Sheikh Mohammed was the world’s youngest Minister of Defense?

    The book traces Sheikh Mohammed’s journey from his early years to becoming the world’s youngest Minister of Defence, Crown Prince of Dubai, and later, Vice President and Prime Minister of the UAE. His leadership has been instrumental in transforming Dubai. From a modest trading hub into a global metropolis, uniting millions of people. Over 195 nationalities live in an environment of peace, stability, and opportunity.

    Through Sheikh Mohammed’s life, To Be the First captures the building of a nation. It illustrates how his determination and relentless pursuit of excellence laid the foundations for Dubai’s iconic achievements. Under his leadership, Dubai has become synonymous with groundbreaking architecture, world-class infrastructure, and vibrant economic opportunities. The city now serves as a beacon of tolerance and innovation, influencing the world’s economic and cultural landscape.

    Graeme Wilson, the book’s author, brings a wealth of expertise to this project. A Fellow of the Royal Geographical Society, Wilson has lived in the UAE for 34 years. He has previously penned acclaimed biographies of the UAE’s Founding Father, Sheikh Zayed bin Sultan Al Nahyan, and the late Sheikh Khalifa bin Zayed Al Nahyan. His unique perspective and experience have enabled him to craft an in-depth and compelling narrative about Sheikh Mohammed’s life and achievements.

    The biography includes exclusive stories and photographs, many of which have never been shared before. Through first-hand accounts from those whose lives Sheikh Mohammed has influenced. Along with testimonies from global leaders who have worked with him. The book offers a nuanced and intimate portrait of Dubai’s ruler.
    Editor-in-Chief of Motivate Media Group on publishing this book

    Ian Fairservice, Managing Partner and Group Editor-in-Chief of Motivate Media Group, which is publishing the book, described it as “a unique insight into the making of an extraordinary leader and the building of a remarkable nation.” He added, “We are truly honoured to bring this authorised biography to life, sharing the journey of Sheikh Mohammed from his humble beginnings to the global stage.”

    Ultimately, To Be the First is not just the story of a man, but the story of a nation’s rise. It is a testament to Sheikh Mohammed’s unwavering vision and his determination to excel in the face of challenges. By chronicling his journey, the book captures the spirit of a leader who has propelled his nation to unprecedented heights. He has created a legacy that continues to shape the future of the UAE and the world.

      1 hour ago

      If there’s one thing to know about the Crown Prince of Dubai, it is that he will experience every country he visits like a local.
      As a royalty, one may expect him to carry the same energy across the globe — but to everyone’s surprise, the beloved Prince of Dubai loves experiencing the city or the town he is visiting like a local.

      Recently, HH Sheikh Hamdan Bin Mohammed Bin Rashid Al Maktoum was spotted in a grocery store in London, shopping for everyday necessities, along with his twin babies, Sheikh Rashid and Sheikha Shaikha.
      Just like any other doting father, the Crown Prince of Dubai was seen indulging his twins in some everyday shopping, while pushing them around happily in the grocery cart.
      After digging through the archives, Emirates Woman has curated a list of all the potential places to add to your bucket list from Sheikh Hamdan’s feed.
      United Kingdom

      Sheikh Hamdan has been seen in London quite a few times over the years and even recently made a visit with his twins, Rashid and Shaika, to the Godolphin stables. Having previously studied at Royal Military College, Sandhurst, Fazza has a strong connection to the UK and is often seen taking a trip to one of his favourite destinations.
      Tanzania

      Exploring both nature and immersing himself in the culture, Sheikh Hamdan’s picture-perfect safari trip to Tanzania looked beyond idyllic. While being surrounded by wildlife, the thrill-seeker shared a series of clips while jumping over a large pool of water. He also  explored the dense forests. The trip was indeed an adventurous one with all the outdoor activities the royal was seen trying out.
      Japan

      In 2019, Sheikh Hamdan made a visit east to Japan. Regarded as a highly-trained fitness enthusiast, the Dubai royal was seen posing with bronze sculptures of rugby player Michael Leitch and sumo wrestler Tochinoshin Tsuyoshi. He was also captured taking some classes and trying some delicious food. He’s undoubtedly ticked off a host of must-visit venues on his trip to Japan. From grazing through the enchanted streets or travelling by the high-speed bullet train to Tokyo, make a note of all the must-dos on your next trip.
      South Korea

      Nearly three years ago, in 2019, Sheikh Hamdan paid a visit to Seoul in South Korea. He posted a photo of himself in front of Gyeongbokgung Palace, one of the country’s must-visit attractions. Along with his Uncle Saeed, they visited historic spots in the city, as well as enjoyed matcha milkshakes, a very popular drink of choice in East Asia.
      Estonia

      In 2018, Sheikh Hamdan took his riding skills international, participating in a 160km endurance race in Estonia. During his travels in the Eastern European country, he cycled in Estonia along with his friend Saeed Jabber Al Harbi.
      Uzbekistan

      There’s no doubt, that Sheikh Hamdan is always seen posing in the great outdoors. His recent trip to Uzbekistan in November 2021 consisted of all the engaging activities. It included camping, falconry, exploring nature and also visiting some of the local residents in the country.
      USA

      Back in 2018, Dubai’s Crown Prince travelled to the USA visiting popular cities like Chicago and New York City.
      Denmark

      Spotted on this self-governing archipelago, which is part of the Kingdom of Denmark. The Faroe Islands is known for its picturesque coastal cliffs and gorgeous open skies. Seen taking a selfie with nature, this popular photo was all over social media.
      Canada

      Exploring the peaks of British Columbia, the royal was seen enjoying this snow-filled holiday on Canada’s ski slopes back in 2019. This stunning wintry escape is everything one looks for in the cooler months. Snowboarding, snow-cover buildings and spruce trees were some of the elements which truly made this holiday complete.
      Italy

      Seen posing in the popular frame shot with the Leaning Tower of Pisa, Sheikh Hamdan visited Italy in 2017, as the snap was captured with perfect precision. From relishing some delicious pasta to walking on the cobbled steps, this beautiful destination is one to add to your list too.

      Sheikh Hamdan takes on new role as UAE Deputy Prime Minister

      by

      Life

      by Ruman Baig
      10 seconds ago

      A new direction in the UAE cabinet: Crown Prince of Dubai, Sheikh Hamdan, takes centre stage.
      The United Arab Emirates recently underwent a significant cabinet reshuffle, with Sheikh Hamdan bin Mohammed bin Rashid Al Maktoum, popularly known as Fazza, acquiring two prominent positions. The Crown Prince of Dubai, was appointed Deputy Prime Minister and Minister of Defense, marking a new chapter in his leadership journey.

      الإخوة والأخوات … بعد التشاور مع أخي الشيخ محمد بن زايد رئيس الدولة حفظه الله وبعد مباركته واعتماده .. واستمراراً للتطوير المستمر في هيكلية حكومة دولة الإمارات .. نعلن اليوم عن تشكيل وزاري جديد في الدولة كالتالي :
      انضمام الشيخ حمدان بن محمد بن راشد آل مكتوم لحكومة دولة…
      — HH Sheikh Mohammed (@HHShkMohd) July 14, 2024

      Fazza’s appointment wasn’t the only noteworthy change. Sheikh Abdullah bin Zayed Al Nahyan, the current Minister of Foreign Affairs, was also named Deputy Prime Minister, solidifying his position as a key player in the UAE’s diplomatic landscape. This move reflects the government’s focus on maintaining strong international relations.

      The restructuring extended beyond the deputy positions. The Council for Education, Human Resources and Community Development saw a leadership change, with Sheikh Abdullah assuming the helm. This strategic move leverages his experience and ensures continuity in the crucial realm of education. Sheikha Mariam bint Mohamed bin Zayed was appointed as the Council’s vice president, further strengthening its leadership with a focus on future generations.
      The reshuffle also addressed the education sector directly. The Ministry of Education received a new leader in Sarah Al Amiri, previously the Minister of State for Public Education and Advanced Technology. This appointment signals a commitment to a more unified and streamlined approach to education within the UAE. Further streamlining came through the merging of the Emirates Foundation for School Education and the Federal Agency for Early Education with the Ministry of Education.
      Higher Education wasn’t left untouched either. Abdulrahman Al Awar was named acting Minister of Higher Education and Scientific Research, demonstrating the government’s dedication to fostering innovation and knowledge creation in the UAE. Beyond education, Ahmed Belhoul received additional responsibilities. While maintaining his role as President of the Emirates Space Agency, he was also appointed Minister of Sports and President of the Higher Colleges of Technology.This consolidation reflects the growing importance of both sports and technology within the UAE’s development strategy.
      The change in the cabinet also acknowledged the valuable contributions of previous leaders. Sara Al Musallam, who served as Minister of State for Early Education, was praised for her dedication, with well wishes extended for her future endeavors.
      Overall, the UAE’s cabinet reshuffle represents a strategic move towards a more unified and forward-thinking government. Fazza’s appointment as Deputy Prime Minister and Minister of Defense signifies the trust placed in his leadership, while the changes in other positions signal a renewed focus on education, diplomacy, innovation, and national security.
