The Mohammed bin Rashid Al Maktoum Knowledge Foundation (MBRF) held a seminar to introduce the ‘Documenting the Legacy
of Sheikh Rashid’ project. This project aims to document the late Sheikh Rashid bin Saeed Al Maktoum’s pivotal role in Dubai’s
development and his significant contributions to key sectors, including the economy, education, tourism, and healthcare. The
seminar took place at the headquarters of Akhbar El-Youm Publishing House in Cairo, Egypt.

The seminar was held in the presence of His Excellency Jamal bin Huwaireb, CEO of MBRF, alongside a distinguished group of
senior journalists, media professionals, and university professors from Egypt. The session was moderated by Dr. Khaled Azab, who
highlighted Dubai as a center of intellect, knowledge, and cultural progress, rather than just a city known for its skyscrapers.

H.E. Jamal bin Huwaireb said: “We are deeply proud of Dubai, its heritage, its history, and its enduring legacy, which reflect its
continuous journey of development and modernization across various fields since the honorable Maktoum family took leadership.
Today, Dubai is a thriving hub for trade and entrepreneurship, and it hosts the region’s largest international exhibition center. At
MBRF, we find inspiration in the vision and achievements of the late Sheikh Rashid bin Saeed Al Maktoum and remain dedicated to
the path set by His Highness Sheikh Mohammed bin Rashid Al Maktoum, Vice President and Prime Minister of the UAE and Ruler
of Dubai, whose leadership continues to propel nation-building, comprehensive progress, and sustainable development.”

During the seminar, Mahmoud Bassiouni, Editor-in-Chief of Akhbar El-Youm, highlighted the journey of the late Sheikh Rashid
while acknowledging Dubai’s tangible achievements. Meanwhile, Dr. Mohamed Afifi, Professor of History, noted that Dubai is a
historic place that has transformed into an industrial city. He also suggested establishing a chair named after the late Sheikh
