My Story
Published to mark the occasion of his fifty years in public service, this is an important collection of stories and anecdotes from Sheikh Mohammed bin Rashid Al Maktoum, Prime Minister and Vice President of the United Arab Emirates and Ruler of Dubai. The stories tell of the vision behind Dubai’s meteoric growth from a small trading port to an international metropolis at the heart of global business. Within these stories lies the heart of Sheikh Mohammed the statesman, the equestrian, the poet and the leader. They are written with the intent to inspire and inform new generations of readers, and to celebrate the achievements of the UAE and the people who helped shape it.
