Saeed Bin Maktoum Bin Hasher Al Maktoum
Sheikh Saeed bin Maktoum bin Hasher Al Maktoum (1878 – 9 September 1958) ( ar, سعيد بن مكتوم آل مكتوم) was the longest-serving Ruler of Dubai, from 1912 until his death in 1958. He presided over Dubai during the end of the pearling boom and through the long and difficult recession that followed the collapse of the pearling market, transforming Dubai into an active trading hub which developed new markets and economic opportunities. Despite continuing a long tradition of liberal, trade-minded rulers, he faced pressure from a number of leading figures in Dubai to reform the governance of the town and was eventually forced to quell what became an active rebellion against his rule. In later life he ceded many of the responsibilities for driving Dubai's economic growth to his son, Rashid. Background Saeed bin Maktoum was the son of Maktoum bin Hasher, who ruled Dubai from 1894 to 1906. Following Maktoum's death, his cousin Butti bin Suhail Al Maktoum ruled for s ...

Rashid Bin Maktoum
Rashid bin Maktoum was the Ruler of Dubai from 1886 to 1894. Hasher bin Maktoum died without leaving a clear line of succession, causing a rift in the family with two contenders for the title being put forward: Sheikh Maktoum bin Hasher, Hasher's eldest son and Sheikh Rashid bin Maktoum, Hasher's brother. Sheikh Rashid gained the support of the majority of the family and tribal leaders and acceded in 1886, continuing the policies of open trade and conciliation established by Hasher. He was an influential ruler and when he was approached by Sheikh Zayed of Abu Dhabi for assistance during a conflict over Buraimi in 1891, he was able to muster a considerable force of 300 camel riders and 30 horsemen in Zayed's support.

Hasher Bin Maktoum
Hasher bin Maktoum bin Butti Al Maktoum () acceded to become the Ruler of Dubai in 1859, following the unexpected death by natural causes of his uncle, Sheikh Saeed bin Butti. Rule Still young at the time of his accession, Hasher ruled over a period of economic prosperity and growth for Dubai. The maritime truce made with the British created an environment where coastal trade could flourish. The diversity of that trade included a lively market for slaves from Africa and elsewhere, and the British, contrary to their original intentions in establishing treaty relations with the Trucial Rulers, found themselves becoming more involved with the activities of the coastal communities. In 1847, they promulgated a treaty for the suppression of the slave trade, which was signed by Hasher and the other Trucial Rulers in 1856. Under Hasher's rule, the disparate economies of the districts around the core settlement of Dubai were brought together, particularly those of Bur Dubai, Deira, Hamriya ...

Saeed Bin Butti
Saeed bin Butti (Arabic سعيد بن بطي ) was the third Ruler of Dubai, succeeding Maktoum bin Butti bin Suhail on his death in 1852. He was a signatory to the landmark treaty with the British, the Perpetual Maritime Truce of 1853. The brother of Maktoum, who died of natural causes, Saeed inherited a small but thriving coastal community. Maktoum's own son, Hasher, was considered too young to rule. Perpetual Maritime Truce Dubai's burgeoning pearl fishing fleet competed with those of Abu Dhabi, Sharjah and the other coastal towns and annual treaties were made between the Rulers and the British to safeguard the various fleets during the pearling season. These treaties were signed between 1835 and 1843 and then superseded by a ten-year treaty signed in June 1843. This treaty, policed by the British, was generally agreed to have been successful and so the British political resident in Bushire, a Captain Kemball, proposed a permanent treaty. In May 1853, Saeed was a signatory ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
