@sonikaarealty: The UAE has lost one of its most respected royal figures, the late His Highness Sheikh Ahmed bin Rashid Al Maktoum, who passed away on the 21st of September 2026 at the age of 76. May his soul rest in eternal peace. So who exactly was he? Sheikh Ahmed was born in Dubai in 1950. He was the fourth and youngest son of the late Sheikh Rashid bin Saeed Al Maktoum, and the youngest brother of His Highness Sheikh Mohammed bin Rashid Al Maktoum, Vice President and Prime Minister of the UAE and Ruler of Dubai. He gave his life to serving the nation. He served as Commander in Chief of Dubai’s Central Military Command and later as Deputy Chairman of Dubai Police and Public Security. He was also a respected leader in business and sport. He was Chairman of Al Wasl and Group Chairman of ARM Holding, and a major figure in UAE horse racing who was closely involved in developing the famous Jebel Ali Racecourse. The Dubai Ruler’s Court has declared ten days of official mourning from the 21st through the 30th of September 2026, with flags flown at half mast across the emirate. His legacy of service will always be remembered. May Allah grant him eternal peace and give strength to the Al Maktoum family during this difficult time. #sheikh #mourning #hishighness #almaktoum #rulers
