Category :
Languages : en
Pages : 228
Book Description
This important collection of anecdotes and reminiscences from Sheikh Mohammed bin Rashid Al Maktoum is published to mark the occasion of his fifty years in public service, which began with his appointment as Dubai's Minister of Defence in 1968.These stories tell of the vision behind Dubai's meteoric growth from a small and bustling trading port to an international metropolis at the heart of global business. They record the evolution of the United Arab Emirates from a shared ideal to a nation where more than 195 nationalities live and work in peace, harmony and prosperity. And they reveal insights from a man whose drive, determination and will to succeed have become legendary.Within these stories lies the heart of Sheikh Mohammed the statesman, the equestrian, the poet and the leader. They are written with the intent to inspire and inform new generations of readers, and to celebrate the achievements of this young and vibrant nation and the people who shaped it.This celebration of a life in service is unavoidably incomplete. As Sheikh Mohammed himself indicates, there is still so much left to do. As a record of the first fifty years alone, however, it forms part of a remarkable legacy.Other titles written by Sheikh Mohammed and published by Explorer include Zayed, Reflections on Happiness & Positivity, Flashes of Verse and Two Great Leaders.

City of Gold
Author: Jim Krane
Publisher: Macmillan + ORM
ISBN: 1429918993
Category : History
Languages : en
Pages : 389
Book Description
Award-winning journalist Jim Krane charts the history of Dubai from its earliest days, considers the influence of the family who has ruled it since the nineteenth century, and looks at the effect of the global economic downturn on a place that many tout as a blueprint for a more stable Middle East The city of Dubai, one of the seven United Arab Emirates, is everything the Arab world isn't: a freewheeling capitalist oasis where the market rules and history is swept aside. Until the credit crunch knocked it flat, Dubai was the fastest-growing city in the world, with a roaring economy that outpaced China's while luring more tourists than all of India. It's one of the world's safest places, a stone's throw from its most dangerous. In City of Gold, Jim Krane, who reported for the AP from Dubai, brings us a boots-on-the-ground look at this fascinating place by walking its streets, talking to its business titans, its prostitutes, and the hard-bitten men who built its fanciful skyline. He delves into the city's history, paints an intimate portrait of the ruling Maktoum family, and ponders where the city is headed. Dubai literally came out of nowhere. It was a poor and dusty village in the 1960s. Now it's been transformed into the quintessential metropolis of the future through the vision of clever sheikhs, Western capitalists, and a river of investor money that poured in from around the globe. What has emerged is a tolerant and cosmopolitan city awash in architectural landmarks, luxury resorts, and Disnified kitsch. It's at once home to America's most prestigious companies and universities and a magnet for the Middle East's intelligentsia. Dubai's dream of capitalism has also created a deeply stratified city that is one of the world's worst polluters. Wild growth has clogged its streets and left its citizens a tiny minority in a sea of foreigners. Jim Krane considers all of this and casts a critical eye on the toll that the global economic downturn has taken. While many think Dubai's glory days have passed, insiders like Jim Krane who got to know the city and its creators firsthand realize there's much more to come in the City of Gold, a place that, in just a few years, has made itself known to nearly every person on earth.

Opportunity Dubai
Author: Peter Cooper
Publisher: Harriman House Limited
ISBN: 1905641974
Category : Biography & Autobiography
Languages : en
Pages : 192
Book Description
Opportunity Dubai is the autobiographical account of a real-life business adventure in the modern city of Dubai. The author was a financial journalist in the city before deciding to join the internet revolution in 2000 by establishing the financial information website AME Info (www.ameinfo.com).However, this book is far more than the story of a relatively small business and its success (albeit a business that became a resource now used by millions of readers and sold for a multi-million dollar fortune in 2006). It is also an inside track on what is happening in modern Dubai, the focal point of hundreds of billions of dollars of investment, and a city whose GDP has quadrupled in a decade, outperforming any other in the world, including China.The author charts the progress of Dubai in the 2000s and setbacks such as the Second Gulf War and 9/11, which actually proved the source of a remarkable injection of repatriated capital into the increasingly ambitious projects of the Maktoum family under the leadership of His Highness Sheikh Mohammed bin Rashid Al Maktoum.Perhaps, as the trading hub of the Middle East, it should be no surprise that Dubai has been able to capitalise greatly on the Third Oil Boom. But Sheikh Mohammed's restless business vision never stands still. He created the Dubai Internet City in late 1999, just in time in fact to give the author of this book a dedicated free zone with 100 per cent ownership for his small business. And other developments such as the Burj Dubai and The World Islands proceed at an amazing pace.Opportunity Dubai asks where this is all leading to and whether it can be sustained. However, the author's own experience of prospering from the opportunities presented by this incredible city point in a positive direction; and many of his insights will benefit anybody thinking of joining this adventure, whether doing business in Dubai, buying a home there, or just taking up a job as an expatriate.

Vision Dubai 2022
Author: Nazimudeen Saleem
Publisher:
ISBN: 9781536875386
Category :
Languages : en
Pages : 124
Book Description
The charismatic ruler of Dubai has managed to build the most popular destination brand name in the world. Dubai is said to have everything as a destination for leisure and business travellers and it is one of the most visited places on the earth. HH Sheikh Mohammed Bin Rashid Al Maktoum, who is a visionary and strategist, has been personally engaged in making his dream a reality. Dubai is preparing to host Expo 2020 but the ruler's vision extends beyond 2020 although the global economic environment is essentially turbulent and unpredictable. It means, realising his vision very much depends on how effectively Dubai is able to manage its economy when the oil price stays below the threshold level and developed economies in the West are suffering from prolonged stagnation. Unexpected fall in oil price is adversely affecting the GCC economies, including Dubai, where managing the fiscal deficit remains a huge challenge. Obviously, widening fiscal deficit is forcing the oil-dependent economies to slash their spending and abandon some of their cherished projects that are currently underway or planed for the future. Most of these countries will be forced to borrow in the market to cover the deficit. Obviously, it is cause for concern. Saleem argues that the debt-financed economic model of the West is not sustainable in the long-run and proposes an innovative concept called 'sovereign equity' model for managing the economy. Dubai with its existing institutional framework and organisation is in a good position to adopt and apply the model that will enable to fund its spending and achieve economic sustainability without recourse to borrowing. A debt-free economy is not only sustainable but also aligns with the Islamic principles.
