SheikhMaktoum bin Rashid Al Maktoum (Arabic: مكتوم بن راشد آل مكتوم, romanized: Maktūm bin Rāshid Āl Maktūm; 15 August 1943 – 4 January 2006) was an Emirati royal and politician who served as the second vice president, first and third prime minister of the United Arab Emirates and as the ruler of Dubai. He was prime minister from 1971 to 1979 and from 1990 to 2006, he served as the ruler of Dubai from 1990 to 2006. He was succeeded after his death by his brother Sheikh Mohammed as Ruler of Dubai.
His father Sheikh Rashid bin Saeed Al Maktoum became the Ruler of Dubai upon the death of his own father, Sheikh Saeed bin Maktoum bin Hasher Al Maktoum (Saeed II), in 1958. Sheikh Maktoum formed the first cabinet of the United Arab Emirates.[7] He served as prime minister first from the country's independence on 9 December 1971 until 25 April 1979, when he was replaced by his father, who had been Vice President since 1971. Following his father's death on 7 October 1990, he resumed his position as Prime Minister of the United Arab Emirates, and also took over as Ruler of Dubai and Vice President of the United Arab Emirates. He served in all three positions until his death on 4 January 2006.
Sheikh Maktoum ran the emirate of Dubai along with his two brothers, Sheikh Mohammed (Crown Prince and Minister of Defence) and Sheikh Hamdan (Minister of Finance) of the United Arab Emirates. Internationally, he was also known as co-owner (with his brothers) of Dubai's Godolphin Stables, which competes in major horse races around the world.[citation needed]
One of Al Maktoum's daughters with Alia bint Khalifa bin Saeed Al Maktoum,[13] is Lateefa bint Maktoum Al Maktoum[14][15][16] (born 11 February 1985). Sheikha Lateefa bint Maktoum is the founder of the art centre Tashkeel Dubai.[17][18] Sheikha Alia's other children are Sheikha Hessa, Sheikha Maitha, Sheikh Saeed and Sheikh Rashid (1979–2002).
Age of consent allegationsedit
In 2023, the New Yorker reported on allegations by multiple drivers that Sheikh Maktoum travelled on private jets with underage girls.[19]
Sheikha Bouchraedit
Sheikha Bouchra bint Mohammed was Al Maktoum's second wife[2][20] and had three sons named Sheikh Mohammed, Hamdan and Zayed with him.[3] She was a hobbyist painter[4][21][22] and a horse racing enthusiast.[23] Bouchra's lifestyle conflicted with the traditional customs and strictures on female royalty in the UAE.[19] In April 2000, there were allegations that Bouchra had been abducted by the Emirati government while she was the United Kingdom, forcefully bringing her to Dubai where she was made a house prisoner.[19] She apparently died in 2007, aged 34, not long after her husband's death.
