Wrong.....

Retard Retard Retard - you wrote "Sheikh Ahmed is actually the uncle of Sheikh Rasheed bin Saeed Al Maktoum".

Suggest you have a look at HH Sheikh Mohammed bin Rashid al Maktoums excellent website, www.sheikhmohamed.com. Lots of Dubai history, videos, photographs and al Maktoum family history.

Sheikh Saeed al Maktoum (1878-1958), was indeed the Ruler of Dubai, until 1958. His eldest son, Sheikh Rashid bin Saeed al Maktoum, ruled Dubai from 1958 to 1980. Sheikh Ahmed bin Saeed al Maktoum, of Emirates, born in 1958, is also a son of Sheikh Saeed, and is therefore the brother of the late Sheikh Rashid.

HH Sheikh Mohamed bin Rashid al Maktoum, the current Ruler of Dubai, is Sheikh Rashids son. This makes Sheikh Ahmed the uncle of Sheikh Mohamed (even though, as you say, he is younger) not of Sheikh Rashid.

Never believe anything an Investment banker tells you!
