What is the history of the ruling family in Dubai?

Under the leadership of Sheikh Rashid bin Saeed Al Maktoum, Dubai began its transformation into a modern metropolis. The current ruler, Sheikh Mohammed bin Rashid Al Maktoum, continues the dynasty's traditions, promoting innovation, tolerance, and development. I visited the Union Museum, which details the creation of the UAE and the contribution of the ruling family to the country's establishment.
