"The 'Documenting the Legacy of Sheikh Rashid' project marks a remarkable historical and knowledge-based
initiative in narrating the inspiring journey of a great leader who laid the foundation of Dubai as we know it today and

established the groundwork for its development," Bin Huwaireb said. "Through his vision and insights, he shaped a
state-of-the-art city, which achieved further excellence through the vision of His Highness Sheikh Mohammed bin
Rashid Al Maktoum, Vice President, Prime Minister and Ruler of Dubai, whose guidance has become the emirate’s
template for economic, urban, civilisational, and leadership growth. With his visionary guidance, Dubai has

developed into a global destination and a prime example of comprehensive development and prosperity that is
widely regarded as one of the greatest places in the world to live, work, and travel, effortlessly bringing together
diverse cultures."

Bin Huwaireb added, "In addition to fostering national pride and a greater appreciation of the true Emirati values that
define the legacy of our ancestors and their vision for a prosperous future, the documentation of Sheikh Rashid’s

remarkable journey will offer scholars and upcoming generations a trustworthy resource on a true symbol of Emirati
history. It will also serve as a source of inspiration for them in shaping their thoughts and developing the foresight
they need on the path to success."

The life of Sheikh Rashid holds immense prominence in the history of Dubai and the UAE. His thoughts, vision, and

ambitions, along with his exceptional leadership, help us better understand the true character of a unique leader
blessed with clear perspective, strong determination, and a forward-thinking attitude.

Sheikh Rashid firmly believed that continual efforts alone assure the development of the country, society, and people,
and this approach is integral to a prosperous future. Guided by the belief that a true leader dedicates his thoughts
and energy to serving his country and people, he laid the groundwork for Dubai’s comprehensive development. The

ideas he envisioned, combined with his careful oversight and ability to make them happen, led to a series of
successes and advancements that established Dubai among the leading cities of the world. Over time, these
initiatives transformed Dubai into a sophisticated financial, economic, and commercial destination, demonstrating to

the rest of the world the viability of the development model created by a dynamic leader.

In every conceivable way, Sheikh Rashid left his mark on the history of the UAE, from the establishment of the new
nation to charting its all-round development. His empowering vision is everywhere to see if one were to focus on
Dubai with its continued economic growth and as reflected in its exceptional infrastructure, be it elaborate road
networks, bridges, ports, or its ever-expanding power and water grids.

In addition to his interest in promoting business, tourism, culture, and sports, among other sectors, Sheikh Rashid’s

leadership also extended to other crucial areas, including the banking, commercial, and educational spheres.
Through timely strategic decisions and promulgation of laws, he ensured these sectors continued to contribute
handsomely to the overall economic and social development of the emirate, significantly enhancing the standard of

living and well-being of citizens and residents alike.
