Retard. I gather from your post here and the on the road rage that you don't work in the middle east. Am I right?
To the best of my knowledge there is no one titled Makthoum Jr. Are you trying to be funny or just disrespectful?

Maktoum Jr

Hi Payscale,

Although i'd guess you work here and possibly at EK, i dont think your too familiar with the place; or with the the Investment bank lingo in Dubai to start with.

Sheikh Ahmed is known as Maktoum Jr because he is the Son of the Sheikh Saeed, the Ruler of Dubai.

Although it is a tongue-in-cheek handler, Sheikh Ahmed is actually the uncle of Sheikh Rasheed bin Saeed Al Maktoum.

Sheikh Mohhammad Bin Rasheed Al Maktoum is apparently 9 years older than Sheikh Ahmed.

I-Banks call him Maktoum Jr and that works for me.

If your still new to these parts; get started with the big Bus tour mate, that's a good way to start.

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!
