The first known ruler of the Al Ali tribe of Umm Al Quwain, Sheikh Rashid was responsible for the construction of Umm Al Quwain Fort in the town in 1768,[1] today home to Umm Al Quwain museum.[2]
The fort and its watchtower were built after the Al Ali tribe moved from the island of Sinniyah to the mainland after water supplies on the island were exhausted.[3]
The precise date of Rashid bin Majid's reign is unknown, but by 1820 he had been succeeded by his son, Sheikh Abdullah bin Rashid Al Mualla,[4] the first Sheikh of Umm Al Quwain to enter into treaty relations with the British.[4]
