Hi Desertrosemrk: is this guy form the pix the son or brother of the current King or i'm just plain confused?

How old is he and does he has any family?

very confused person in England:)

You're welcome. He's uncle to the ruler of Dubai. Dubai is one of the seven emirates that make up the UAE. Saudi Arabia and the UAE are two different countries that are ruled by different rulers and dynasties. Let me know if you don't understand. :)

Yes, he's younger than the current ruler.

He's not married but rumours are doing the rounds that he has a daughter by an Italian lady.

As stated before Sheikh Ahmed bin Saeed Al Maktoum is the uncle of the current Ruler (Emir) of Dubai. Here is some detail of that relation.

Sheikh Ahmed bin Saeed Al Maktoum of Dubai (b1958), is the son of the late
Sheikh Saeed bin Maktoum al-Maktoum (b 1888, d Sept 1958). He was born the same year his father died.

Sheikh Ahmed's mother, Sheikha Fatima bint Ahmed bin Suliman is the second wife, whom his father married during his last years.

Sheikh Ahmed bin Saeed Al Maktoum was raised by his older half-brother
Sheikh Rashid bin Saeed al-Maktum, (b1912, d Oct 7 1990), is the father of the of Sheikh Maktoum bin Rashid Al Maktoum (B1946), the current Prime Minister of the UAE and the Ruler (emir not king) of Dubai.

Sheikh Ahmed's father is the grandfather to the current Ruler of Dubai, they were raised together by the current Ruler's father.

[hsh1969]

thanks a lot: I was falling sleep last night that's why i wrote SA instead of UAE. Needed more cuban coffe to wake up

And so he was born the same year his father died, how sad. Is his mother still alive, she should have been very young when she was having kids and probably his father was older.
there is a good seed in the pretty genes of the guys that were born in the 1958 since he is very elegant and also Prince Al of Monaco was born in 1958.

thanks a lot.

[Saba]

Yes, Sheikh Ahmed's mother, Fatima, is still alive. I agree, he is a very elegant man, those are some very good genes.

No, Sheikh Maktoum the ruler of Dubai married a young Iranian, I don't know if they are still married because he now has a new young "thing" on his arm.

Hello

I am doing some research for a story on the Maktoum brothers for a racing publication and am hoping someone can help me please (I have looked everywhere for a family tree but can't find one!).

Is it correct that Sheikh Rashid bin Saeed Al Maktoum was so madly in love with Sheikha Latifa bint Hamdan Al Nahyan that he only ever had her as a wife - no others?

So all four of the brothers, Maktoum, Hamdan, Mohammed and Ahmed are full brothers?

I assume this is quite rare, well both would be rare, first one wife only and second all siblings being full siblings, no half siblings?

Also, if that is the case, how many daughters did they have please?

And, if anyone has any tips about protocol and how to describe the brothers I would appreciate it, ie. is it okay to call them the Maktoum brothers?

By the way, this site is amazing and I really do think I'm hooked! I will be visiting lots I think!

Thanks!
