DUBAI, 20th October, 2024 (WAM) -- Following the directives of H.H. Sheikh Hamdan
bin Mohammed bin Rashid Al Maktoum, Crown Prince of Dubai, Deputy Prime
Minister, Minister of Defence, and Chairman of Dubai Executive Council, to document
the key milestones of the life of the late Sheikh Rashid bin Saeed Al Maktoum, the
Mohammed Bin Rashid Al Maktoum Knowledge Foundation (MBRF) has launched a
new project titled 'Documenting the Legacy of Sheikh Rashid'. The key goal of the
project is to chronicle the major contributions of Sheikh Rashid across the spheres of
politics, administration, society, and public life during his time as the Ruler of Dubai.

Coinciding with the 34th anniversary of the passing of Sheikh Rashid on 7th October
1990, the project includes an integrated archive that highlights his remarkable

left an unforgettable mark on the history of Dubai and the UAE, inspiring an all-round
renaissance of the city and helping transform it into a trailblazing model emulated
worldwide for its economic, commercial, and urban development achievements.

Jamal bin Huwaireb, CEO of the MBRF, emphasised that Sheikh Hamdan's directives

builds upon a profound sense of national and civilisational pride, and this sentiment
remains resonant as the legacy of the founding fathers is showcased to future

modern transformation and, along with the UAE's Founding Father, the late Sheikh
Zayed bin Sultan Al Nahyan, provided the necessary impetus for the UAE to come into
its own through its foundational phase.

"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
