Everyone knows that the ruler of the emirate of Dubai and the vice-president of the United Arab Emirates, Sheikh Mohammed bin Rashid bin Said al Maktoum, has many children and wives.
Sheikh Mohammed
Nobody, except the sheikh, probably knows the exact number. I will not dare to assert any numbers. More than 20 officially recognized children - that's for sure. Two well-known wives: Sheikh Hind al Maktoum - the main wife, the mother of twelve children, whom no one photographed, and the youngest - Princess Haya of Jordan, the mother of two, whom we all know well.
Prince Hamdan, the second son of Sheikh Mohammed and Hind, has been declared the official heir to the emirate. For some reason, the eldest son Rashid was removed from inheritance, whether he was rude to his dad, or he loves women too much, it is not known. However, it turned out that this is not entirely true.
There is very little information on the Internet. But the members of the Maktum family themselves are extremely active on social networks, almost all the children of the sheikh have their own accounts, which they constantly update. Many have something in common. Actually, it was only thanks to this that we managed to find out something.
It is known for sure that the firstborn of Muhammad, the daughter of Sheikh Manal, was born in 1977. Presumably from a Lebanese wife. She is happily married, she has children, a million photos with all her relatives on the network. But this is not about her.
In 1979, the sheikh married his 17-year-old cousin and, at the same time, second cousin, Sheikh Hind al Maktoum.
Lyrical digression: it is not known when she received the title of the main / senior wife, but she is definitely not the first (these are different concepts).
On Arab forums, the Dubai people themselves (mostly women, of course) explain that since a child has the title of Sheikh or Sheikh, this means that Sheikh Mohammed definitely married the child's mother, even if then quickly divorced. I suspect this is some kind of law in the Emirates, because a Muslim does not have to get married to officially recognize a child. Perhaps it is precisely the status of a sheikh for a child. I do not know . I'll call everyone wives just in case.
So before Hind there was a Lebanese wife, mother Manal.
In March 1980, Sheikh Maitha was born to the sheikh from a Moroccan wife, you have seen her many times, this is the same famous athlete. And she participates always and everywhere, and carried the UAE flag at the London Olympics, and won a lot of things.
At the time of Maita's birth, Sheikh Hind is already pregnant with her first child and in November 1980 gives birth to her daughter Hessa. With her, too, everything is in order, married, children, everything is fine.
But the sheikh still has no son. And, at the moment when Hind was wearing Hessa, the sheikh starts a relationship with what is rumored to be a German girl. In any case, the girl was of a North European type. And in March 1981, she gave birth to a boy.
The long-awaited son of an Arab dad turned out to be unusual. They named him Marwan. One of the traditional names in the Maktum clan. Sheikh Marwan bin Mohammed bin Rashid bin Said al Maktoum. Which literally means "Sheikh Marwan, son of Muhammad, son of Rashid, son of Said from the Maktum family." The name is also the pedigree. The sheikh recognized the boy because his name is on all the lists of the sheikh's official children.
In August 1981, the Sheikh's Moroccan wife gave birth to her second daughter, Shamsa. And only in November 1981, Hind gave birth to a son, Rashid. So he is the second son of Sheikh Mohammed, and not the first, as they say everywhere.
There are no photos of Marwan on my father's site. The other seven sons are, but Marwan is not. I think this is due to the fact that he is not an Arab, although he is a Muslim. And also with his appearance. Painfully different from everyone else.
I want to draw your attention to the fact that many people confuse the sheikh's son with the son of his second cousin, they are almost complete namesakes, the name is only different in the fourth generation. And they rarely write until the fourth. So, the man in the photo below is not the same Marwan! It is easy to check on his page, where a man constantly uploads photos of his real father and brothers.
Also Marwan, also a sheikh, but a second cousin's nephew, not the son of the ruler.
At the moment, Marwan al Maktoum lives in London. He is married to Dalal al Marzougi, a girl from a very old and wealthy sultan family who ruled for a thousand years right across the Gulf from Dubai, now Iran. The wife has been a development director for a large oil company for many years.
They have two sons, Muhammad and Rashid (in honor of their father and grandfather). These are the first male grandchildren of Sheikh Mohammed !! The rest of the sons have no children yet, only daughters.
Marwan served in the Dubai Army. He visits the emirate periodically. Communicates with relatives. It's a pity, the photo is not enough. I did not find a single adult photo with my father.
Sheikh Marwan is head and shoulders above all relatives. He is blond with blue eyes!

On April 30, 2013 in the Netherlands, for the first time in 120 years, a king will appear on the throne - until now, women have ruled the kingdom. Prince Willem-Alexander, 45, will inherit from his mother not only the throne and title, but also a considerable fortune.

Meanwhile, taking into account the value of Buckingham Palace, Kensington Palace, the palaces of St. James and Holyrood, Windsor Castle and other properties owned by the royal family, as well as the royal collection of works of art, the British monarch is at the top of the list of the richest colleagues.

In addition, the royal collection of precious stones is widely known in the world, which seriously affects the size of the monarch's fortune.

Until now, the cause of the mysterious death of 33-year-old Sheikh Rashid remains shrouded in mystery. Recall that the eldest son of the ruler of Dubai Sheikh Rashid ibn Mohammed Al Maktoum passed away at the age of 33. According to media reports, on September 19, 2015, Sheikh Rashid, who had a reputation as a handsome playboy with a brilliant future, died in his home as a result of a sudden heart attack.
Despite the fact that the official version of his death is a myocardial infarction, rumors have long circulated in the United Arab Emirates that the young Sheikh Rashid abused drugs and, because of his addiction, repeatedly ended up in a rehabilitation center. In 2008, he was stripped of his legitimate title of Crown Prince of Dubai.
In recent years, especially before his death, Sheikh Rashid somehow quietly and quietly moved away from social life and went into the shadows, while becoming one of the most mysterious influential figures in the emirate of Dubai. His father, Sheikh Mohammed ibn Rashid al-Maktoum, the ruler of Dubai, had only two wives and 24 children. Through his efforts, he has transformed a nondescript and mediocre emirate into a dazzling modern metropolis and a global high-tech and tourism hub.
There are many versions of the death of the 33-year-old sheikh of Dubai. For example, Iranian news agency Fars said that Rashid did not die of a "sudden heart attack," as the official statement said, but during the fighting in Yemen. Iranian media unanimously claim that Sheikh Rashid ibn Mohammed al-Maktoum and several other UAE soldiers were killed in artillery shelling by rebel forces in the Yemeni province of Marib. Inaccurate information about the death of the Crown Prince of Dubai as a result of a heart attack was published in order to mislead the inhabitants of the United Arab Emirates, who are in favor of the withdrawal of troops from Yemen.
Another version of the prince's death in the form of a diplomatic message, published on the Wikileaks website. It contains a fascinating description of events that really took place in the palace and were carefully hidden from prying eyes. A certain diplomat from one of the Western countries shared information that Sheikh Rashid had lost his title of crown prince of Dubai and all prospects of legal power due to the fact that, allegedly in a state of passion, he killed his father's assistant. Although the assistant's name and surname are not mentioned anywhere, analysts have suggested that the murder was committed as a result of a fit of anger provoked by steroids.
Another leak, provided by a Saudi Arabian diplomat, suggests that drugs and massive sex orgies are common in the palace of the ruler of Dubai, as well as in the emirate of Dubai as a whole. However, access to such events is open only to wealthy Arabs.
If we weigh the pros and cons, analysts agree that the heart attack that ended the life of 33-year-old Sheikh Rashid is nothing more than a beautiful excuse that does not tarnish the Sheikh's reputation.
Officially, Crown Prince of Abu Dhabi, Commander-in-Chief of the UAE Armed Forces.
In fact, the Emir of Abu Dhabi, the President of the UAE.
Sheikh Zayed's third son. An interesting point is that he and Khalifa are half-brothers. Khalifa was born to his first wife, Khasa bint-Muhammad ibn-Khalifa. Sheikh Mohammed ibn-Zayd was born to his third wife - Fatima bint-Mubarak Al-Ketbi.
Sheikhini Fatima bint-Mubarak Al-Ketbi had only 6 sons: Muhammad, Hamdan, Hazza, Tanun, Mansur and Abdula. They are called "Bani Fatima" or "Sons of Fatima" and they form the most influential bloc in the Al-Nahyan family.
The sons of Fatima have always been influential, some political scientists even assign them a leading role in those changes in Abu Dhabi that have taken place since 2004. They received full power only in 2014, when Sheikh Khalifa suffered a blow. Now it is difficult to say whether the vector of their domestic and foreign policy will change. Wait and see.
Muhammad ibn Zayd attended school in Al Ain, then in Abu Dhabi. He entered Sandhurst Academy (UK) in 1979. Trained in the military skills of helicopter piloting, driving armored vehicles, parachute jumping. After returning from England, he passed military training in Sharjah, became an officer of the UAE Armed Forces.
Was an officer of the Amiri Guards (an elite unit), a pilot of the UAE Air Force, eventually became the Commander-in-Chief of the UAE Armed Forces.
In 2003, he was proclaimed the second crown prince of Abu Dhabi. After the death of his father on November 2, 2004, he became the crown prince. Since December 2004, Chairman of the Executive Council of Abu Dhabi, member of the Supreme Petroleum Council.
So far, world leaders and political scientists are eyeing Sheikh Mohammed. It is known that he believes that the UAE should play a much larger role in world politics. Loves falconry, like his father. He is interested in poetry and writes poetry in the Nabati style himself.
Sheikhina Fatima bint-Mubarak Al-Ketbi
Sheikh Zayed's third wife, mother of six of his sons, including Crown Prince Mohammed (de facto ruler of Abu Dhabi and President of the UAE).
This woman played a large role in UAE politics during the reign of her husband Sheikh Zayed, and remains very influential to this day. She is called “Mother of the Nation”.
The exact date of her birth is unknown. She was probably born in the mid-40s. In the 60s, she married Zayed Al-Nahyan, becoming his third wife.
In 1973, she founded the Abu Dhabi Women's Awakening Society, the first women's civic organization in the UAE. In 1975, she created and headed the Main Union of Women of the UAE. The main area of interest of these organizations was education, because then girls in the UAE did not study at all. In 2004, Fatima facilitated the appointment of the first female minister.
Now she still heads the Main Union of Women, the Supreme Council for Maternity and Childhood, the Family Development Fund and several other organizations. And this despite his advanced age! Naturally, Fatima has a tremendous influence on Sheikh Mohammed's policy and the Bani Fatima affair.
Dubai
The Emirate of Dubai is ruled by the Al-Muktum family.
Sheikh Mohammed ibn-Rashid Al-Muktum
Ruling Emir (officially since January 4, 2006, actually since January 3, 1995), Prime Minister and Vice President of the UAE since February 11, 2006.
Sheikh Mohammed is called “The Architect of Modern Dubai”. He is a very versatile person and is now the most famous leader in the UAE.
Muhammad became the third son of the ruler of Dubai Sheikh Rashid ibn Said Al-Muktum. His mother Lafita was the daughter of the ruler of Abu Dhabi Sheikh Hamadan ibn Zayed Al Nahyan. As a child, Muhammad received both secular and traditional Islamic education. In 1966 (at the age of 18) he studied in Great Britain at the Mons Cadet Corps and in Italy as a pilot.
In 1968, Muhammad attended his father's meeting with Sheikh Zayed in Argub el-Sedira, where the rulers of Dubai and Abu Dhabi agreed on the imminent creation of the UAE. After the formation of the UAE, he was the Minister of Defense and Chief of Police of Dubai.
On October 7, 1990, Muhammad's father and ruler of Dubai Sheikh Rashid ibn Said died. Power passed to the eldest son, Sheikh Muktum ibn-Rashid, who was very fond of equestrian sports, was an excellent athlete, but did not reach for politics and management.
On January 4, 1995, Muktum ibn Rashid appoints Mohammed as crown prince and, in fact, transfers power to him in the emirate of Dubai. On January 4, 2006, Muktum ibn-Rashid died of a heart attack, Muhammad ibn-Rashid becomes the official ruler of Dubai.
The list of achievements of Muhammad ibn Rashid is huge. He diversified the economy of Dubai, now oil revenues account for only 4% of the emirate's GDP, Dubai has become a shopping mecca, second only to London, the largest trade and financial center.
With his support or on his initiative, the following have been created: the Emirates airline, the Palm and World artificial islands, the world's largest artificial harbor, Jebel Ali, the Dubai Internet City zone and hundreds of other projects.
He became famous for his raids on enterprises, where he personally checked whether employees were in their places, and fired those who were absent. Sheikh Mohammed ibn-Rashid is famous for his intolerance to corruption; during his rule hundreds of officials who were convicted of bribes and using their position for personal gain went to prison.
Now (note: the article was updated in the fall of 2019) he is already 70 years old, but he is full of energy and is successfully implementing his development plan for Dubai until 2021. He recently took part in the Arab Strategic Forum, and you would not say that he is 70.
January 11, 2016 4:47 amI was looking for this post - I decided to create it myself in general. from the series I can not be silent. Well, Christmas trees have accumulated: ozone holes, all the cases ... again, recently here the Arab princes were included in some kind of war ... It immediately became clear that the one who was deprived of this title was called a prince ...
Girls, the affairs of the Arab crown are not inferior in intrigue to the intrigues of the Magnificent Age. moreover, I am guided only in the affairs of the emirate of Dubai. and the emirates in the UAE are not one or two.
why it is interesting to me (and to you) - because the sheikhs there are quite pastry times. Because there really is a serpentarium - two. and because in Russian this information is not available ANYWHERE at all. even in the fan community of the VKontakte family (by the way, for several tens of thousands of readers), a completely false info has been posted.
therefore I consider myself practically a beacon, amen. let's get started.
Sheikh of Dubai - Mohammed bin Rashid Al Maktoum. He is many years old and he is a very popular man. He was born already in 1949, which does not prevent him from having a youngest son at the age of 3 years. well done? well done. recently Dubai celebrated 10 years of his reign and everyone cried with happiness. But here, by the way, I have nothing to argue - Mohammed is a great man who made oil work for people. Imagine, it turns out that petrodollars could have built an oasis of tourism and trade in the desert. We didn't know (#mohammed_where_you_before_been)!
Sheikh's eldest son is an unknown Sheikh Marwan, born in 1981. he lives in London and does not look like an Arab at all, because he was born of a German woman. but his children (as befits a recessive inheritance) - Arabs wherever. In the line of inheritance, Marwan does not even appear, although he is welcomed in the family. So he is a good person)
Sheikh's second son is Sheikh Rashid, who died tragically in September 2015. He was 33. By the way, the accent on the first syllable without options, because in the Arabic spelling there is only one vowel in this name) I found a way to unobtrusively show you that I know Arabic))))
The story with Sheikh Rashid is very dark and the truth will never be revealed to us. Officially, until 2011 (!) He was the heir to the throne. Sheikh Rashid was with his father everywhere and believe me - of all the sons, it was Rashid who was the best. I would say - this is the top of the "breed", the brightest diamond, the most obvious leader. It was such a power, such a magnet - you had to see! But a terrible thing happened - Rashid turned out to be a "difficult passenger". According to the documents, which are still on WikiLeaks, Sheikh Rashid was not only a drug addict, he also accidentally (?!) Killed a servant in the palace. That "haram" is a terrible monstrous sin.
For me, this was the character to rule the country, you just had to cut it. But Sheikh Rashid after this story literally disappears from everywhere. For a while, he still holds minor commercial posts, however, he soon loses this too. It is not shone anywhere else, so that, God forbid, the diligently worn-out old business does not come out. In September, according to the official version, Rashid dies from a heart attack (I believe), according to the sub-version (I am sure it was allowed by the palace service), he was shot dead in battles for his homeland. The second version is categorically ruled out, because Rashid was not allowed anywhere at all, so as not to shine and remind. I think for him (with his obvious arch-ambitiousness) it was a colossal blow and it is not known whether everything turned out to be so tragic precisely because of this.
By the way, for the whole family, the death of Rashid was a terrible tragedy, healthy men, brothers shed tears without embarrassment. Hamdan, I was generally afraid of losing consciousness, so it shook him. Here I remember how the Windsor boys did not shed a tear at Diana's funeral. No reproach. I just think these are the different temperaments!
in 2011, Crown Prince Hamdan is introduced to the world. his image is so sterile that I don't believe a single word. To the world, he is known with a light hand for the service of the palace under the pseudonym Fazza (faz3) - I will not translate what Fazza means from Arabic, otherwise it will stick together. Fuzza as a person is a poet philanthropist, an adorer of children, protector of animals ... by the way, his poems are the same as an image, it is impossible to read.
Fuzza is a sterile, perfect, wiped-off image of Hamdan, and what he really knows only himself. if he remembers, of course.
But if he doesn't remember, it's okay, I remember)))
(hamdan on the right, next to Rashid)
before becoming the heir, Fazza was a plump (all Al Maktums are very prone to plumpness), an extremely pimply youth, making faces a la Tarkan in the camera. Now they knocked it out of him - they explained that with a romantic look he looks like m .... k, so you need to frown menacingly. Works.
how the palace overwrites pictures of Hamdan - it's just a fairy tale) it is almost impossible to catch non-photoshopped footage on the network, they are knowingly eating their bread, however, here are a couple of samples of what Superman-Hamdan actually looks like)))
Hamdan has a fiancée (cousin, kaneshna - that's the way it is, it's okay), however, there are persistent rumors that the engagement has been canceled and that he allegedly has a girlfriend. Right now, get ready there will be a stream of sugar in honey.
So, according to the "rumors" kindly spread by the palace service, Hamdan's bride is a refugee from hot spots, whom he met when he worked as a volunteer distributing meals for the homeless. This is such a fucking profanity that I almost burst into tears of happiness when I first read it. Oh, the almighty service of the palace - to what other heights will you reach? I don’t know for whom it is intended - for 10-graders? I can only say that there is not even a word like "girl" in Arabic. Dating is haraam. If you like it, you get married. If you don't like it, you move on. Here we are all humbly silent about the famous parties with girls in the palace. I say silently! And we admire the glossy Hamdan with the approved skin tone "sexy number 6".
The next son of the Sheikh (all from the same wife Hind - she poorly gave him 12 offspring) is Sheikh Maktum. You can't say so, but in general he is only 32. He will be the vice-ruler of Dubai and seems to me the only sane member of the family. I like him very much, his English friend plays a significant role in this, occasionally posting very touching pictures with Maktum, where he cuts a cake at a birthday party or goes skiing with friends. not a superman look, not a poser look. even strange - our man is directly behind enemy lines.
Despite his very prominent role in Dubai (and by the way, my father mostly goes everywhere with Maktum, and not with Hamdan), Maktum is very closed and uncommunicative with the press. finding a video with him is unrealistic even if you search in Arabic.
Sheikh Ahmed (the stress is also on the first syllable also because there are no more vowels) is the next son. local clown and my favorite. I look at him every time and cannot believe that one day they will trust him too.
The PR-service of the palace carefully polishes his image and even came up with a nickname for him - Azzam. Something like "decisive" in Arabic. I'm laughing out loud now, because Ahmed seems to me to be the most natural bastard and hedonist. Like all his brothers, he was originally a fucking handsome guy (the genes of the al-maktums are good), however, he grew fat. How much effort does Hamdan have to keep in shape?
my favorite))
Ahmed performs nominal functions somewhere as a chairman, somewhere as a presenter ... he does it with an invariably bored face and the last thing that turned him on was the dancing of Arab actresses at some kind of charity performance. In my studies, I constantly watch the news in their dialect and always recklessly await when Ahmed will at least touch the Christmas trees? Moved. I was once again convinced that he is completely crazy and probably a pervert))) but in a series of sterile brothers he is extremely sympathetic to me.
The palace diligently destroys all non-photoshopped images on the network, so rejoice while you have it. Ahmed in his "youth" loved to draw his eyes. It's disco, baby)))
There is also Sheikh Said, born in 1988, however, this is a very strange character, fortunately, almost never flickering anywhere, because he has such a look ... I would hide such a boy (which is what the palace does). I don't know anything about him. Either he was guilty or not ambitious.
And finally, two more sons - from a wife from Morocco, although Russian-language sources mistakenly attribute the boys to different ladies. We probably won't take our daughters, otherwise we won't leave here (although the sheikh's daughters are also uuuh!).
So a wife from Morocco gave Sheikh Mohammed two rather prominent sons.
The first is Sheikh Majid. Don't let his looks fool you, Prince William has thick hair compared to him. Just trust me.
Majid is 28 years old, and everything was in Swiss chocolate, until he decided to marry the girl Hesse from, by the way, not the most simple family. Al Maktoum did not approve of this marriage to such an extent that a - did not appear, b - after the wedding, Majid became a nominal figure and moved to the second row at events, FOR all the other brothers and even for his own younger brother. Didn't save the guy))
Majid is the only son of the sheikh who is married and already has two children. he named his daughter Dubai (?!) than he finished off the palace along the way, because no one congratulated him on the birth of children in his social accounts. And they are all more than active on the web.
Sheikh Mansur - who was recently discussed on the main page, when he supervised the extinguishing of the Address Hotel. The final piece of Mohammed. Mansur is 26 years old, and since he was born of the same mother as Majid, he is also rapidly going bald.
photoproof. In this photo, Mansour participates in a charity mast with disabled people and coquettishly combes the rest of his hair forward. I need to tell him that it's so fashionable here too.
although the vegetation on the head of the Arabs is generally not very good. It is, as it were, compensated by the vegetation on the body))) By the way, Mansur has unearthly and mutual love with the body. He is practically Mr. Universe, which somehow compensates for his completely Bedouin appearance. Mansour is the only prince who travels to hot spots, but I assure you - only after they cool down)))
Mansour is the owner of some fabulous fleet of cars with Ferrari Lamborghini Bentleys and anything else. there is a report about this on YouTube, albeit in Arabic. but the picture is spiks for itself. Sheikh's car number is D8. D - dubai, 8 - eighth man in the family (the first - Sam).
Another son - the three-year-old Zayed - was given birth to the sheikh by the well-known princess Haya. the one who fights for the rights of women all over the world, while happily being in a polygamous marriage, and who insists on fighting smoking, and then stealthily smokes at the races. I have no complaints about Princess Haya, I think she did everything in her life correctly)
Last thing. Who is Sheikh Nasser? Outrageous playboy-looking Sheikh of Bahrain, married to one of Mohammed's daughters. They have three children. I could not help but include him here, because well, Sheikh Nasser was very successful.
Perhaps that's all. I pretty much tired you with my libations, although believe me, it took a lot of effort to restrain myself and I did not tell even a third)
love you. I hope you won't get confused now)
