I have some questions concerning a family member of the Al-Maktoum’s.

How well does the elder Uncle Sheikh Ahmed bin Saeed Maktoum get along with the other Maktoum family members? Is he considered a favorite and respected uncle? Was he appointed the position of Chairman/CEO/President of Emirates airline group? Is this considered a lifetime job since he has no position in government? Does he have any other siblings living and is his mother also a distant relative? Last question, does he share the Maktoum family wealth or he has his own money?


Thanks to anyone who can assist with the answers to my questions.

i read somewhere, but can't remember where, sorry
that sheikh Ahmed bin Saeed Al-Maktoum is chairman of Emirates airline group.
for the next questions, i'm not sure, so forgive me if i'm wrong :
i think being chairman is a lifetime job for him (that he does very well!).
i don't know about living siblings, so i think there are, but i don't know who or where.
i think he also have his own money, he wins enough .

Does anyone know more about the adopted daughter of the ruling president of Dubai? I believe, I read that it was the president who had an adopted daughter.

There is no 'ruling president' of Dubai. Dubai is an Emirate ruled by Sheikh Mohammed of the Al Maktoum dynasty. He is also Vice President of the United Arab Emirates.

Is it true that the non-Hind's children (Majid and his siblings) live in the Zabeel Palace too? What about their mother? Does she live alone somewhere else?

What means to be deputy ruler exactly, and which is the difference in spite of being the crown prince?

So did all the non-Hind kids grow up without their mothers then?!

Because there was a story (I think it was the story about the runaway Sheika, Shamsa from the Daily Mail) I read where Shamsa and Maitha and "two younger children" (whom I took to be Majed and Mansour) all lived in a house seperate from the main house and the rest of the children. Sad, if true.

It makes me sad to think that they didn't have their mothers...

Sheikh Mohammed of Dubai is the Vice President and Prime Minister of the United Arab Emirates which is the federal state encompassing the seven Emirates. He is at the same time the Ruler (Emir) of Dubai and his son Sheikh Hamdan was named Crown Prince of Dubai earlier this year. The Crown Prince has the same role as any other Crown Prince in that he is the designated heir and successor of the Ruler.

The current President of the United Arab Emirates is the Ruler (Emir) of Abu Dhabi.

I don't know how many 'Deputy Rulers' Dubai has (for example, Sharjah has three) but Sheikh Mohammed's son Maktoum is a Deputy Ruler as is Sheikh Mohammed's brother Hamdam bin Rashid.
From WAM 14 June 2008 in a story about the guests at the lunch following the wedding of Sheikh Ahmed bin Saeed Al Maktoum:

Others include Abu Dhabi Crown Prince and Deputy Supreme Commander of the UAE Armed Forces, H.H. General Sheikh Mohammed bin Zayed Al Nahyan, Dubai Crown Prince, H.H. Sheikh Hamdan bin Mohammed bin Rashid Al Maktoum, Dubai Deputy Ruler, H.H. Sheikh Maktoum bin Mohammed bin Rashid Al Maktoum

From Gulfnews 15 June 2008:
Shaikh Hamdan Bin Rashid Al Maktoum, Dubai Deputy Ruler and Minister of Finance.

Apologies if this has already been answered but I haven't had the time to look through the thread.

How many wives does Sheikh Mohammed have? I was under impression that there were just two; Haya and Hind. However, reading through the threads on this forum I've seen people making reference to junior wives etc. so was mroe than a little confused about the total number.

TIA.
