Dubai declares 10 days of mourning after death of Sheikh Ahmed bin Rashid Al Maktoum
–
Neutral summary
Dubai has declared a 10-day mourning period following the death of Sheikh Ahmed bin Rashid Al Maktoum, the younger brother of the emirate's ruler, who is also Vice President and Prime Minister of the UAE. Sheikh Ahmed died on Monday morning at the age of 76, Dubai authorities announced. The Ruler's Court said the mourning period had started immediately, with flags across the emirate to be flown at half-mast. Dubai's ruler wrote on X: “You are absent from our eyes but not from our prayers and hearts, O Ahmed.” UAE President Sheikh Mohamed bin Zayed extended his condolences, saying the late sheikh's “longstanding contributions to the development of the UAE since its founding continue to inspire our nation's journey of progress.” Condolences also came from Saudi Arabia's leadership and from India. Funeral prayers for Sheikh Ahmed are to be held in Dubai on Tuesday. Sheikh Ahmed was the fourth and youngest son of former Dubai ruler Rashid bin Saeed Al Maktoum (1912–1990), and for decades was involved in sports, including football, horse racing and water sports, and headed the Al-Wasl club for many years. He was also a prominent figure in Dubai's real estate and security sectors; Serbian outlets Blic and Mondo describe him as having “built an empire, earned millions and built power from the shadows.”
