DUBAI  HISTORY


Along with the other sheikhdoms that now compose the federation, Dubai became a British protectorate in the 19th cent. The Al Maktoum sheikhdom emigrated from Abu Dhabi to Dubai's creek in the 1830s and established there the port that eventually became Dubai. 

The 'Al Maktoum' are a branch of the same Bani-Yas tribe that includes the Al Nahyan.

Dubai became the commercial capital of the sheikhdoms and was an important port of call for British steamers to India. Dubai occupies an area of approximately 3,900 kilometres, which includes a small enclave called Hatta, situated close to Oman, amongst the Hajar Mountains. Dubai, the capital city, is located along the creek.

Dubai's focus on trade and industry transformed it into the leading trading port along the southern Gulf.

The late Sheikh Rashid bin Said succeeded to the rule of Dubai in 1958 following the death of his father, Sheikh Said bin Maktoum Al Maktoum (1912- 58). During the 1960s and 1970s, Sheikh Rashid bin Said presided over the transformation of Dubai into a wealthy oil emirate. 

Sheikh Rashid bin Said Al Maktoum (b. 1912), as ruler of Dubai and vice president and prime minister of the UAE, was the second most powerful Amir until his death on October 7, 1990. His eldest son, Sheikh Maktoum bin Rashid Al Maktoum, succeeded him in all his offices. 
 
Before taking over his father's offices, Sheikh Maktoum bin Rashid (1941) was crown prince and had several other governmental responsibilities. Sheikh Maktoum bin Rashid's brother, Sheikh Mohammed bin Rashid Al Maktoum is the current ruler of Dubai.
