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.

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.

      In response to the directives of President His Highness Sheikh Mohamed bin Zayed Al Nahyan, a field hospital is soon to be established in the Gaza Strip to provide vital medical assistance to the Palestinian population.

      The UAE had previously pledged $20 million in urgent aid for the Palestinian population and initiated a program to bring approximately 1,000 Palestinian children, along with their families, from the Gaza Strip to receive medical treatment at UAE hospitals. Additionally, a community relief campaign for Palestinians affected by the current conflict has been launched in the UAE, under the banner ‘Compassion for Gaza.’
      A fleet of five aircraft took off from Abu Dhabi International Airport, carrying all the necessary equipment and supplies required for the upcoming field hospital. These cargo shipments will be offloaded at Al-Arish Airport in Egypt, from where they will be transported to the Gaza Strip.
      The construction of the field hospital, designed to accommodate up to 150 patients, will unfold in several phases. It will comprise specialized departments for general surgery, orthopedics, pediatrics, gynecology, as well as fully-equipped anesthesia and intensive care units for both children and adults.
      Furthermore, the facility will include clinics offering services in internal medicine, dentistry, psychiatry, and family medicine. The hospital will be equipped with essential diagnostic and support services, including CT imaging, a fully-functional laboratory, a pharmacy, and other crucial medical facilities.
      This initiative underscores the UAE’s unwavering commitment to supporting and standing in solidarity with the Palestinian people, particularly during the ongoing challenging circumstances they face.
