I also present my deepest condolences. I am confused however. I understood the it was the Vice President and Prime Minister: Sheikh Maktoum bin Rashid Al Maktoum who has died. It would appear then that it is a relative of Saeed's who has died, if the names are an accurate approach to understanding relatives. Saeed, please take heart in that we all regret such a loss.

Wink you are correct it is indeed H.H. Sheikh Maktoum bin Rashid Al Maktoum, Vice President, Prime Minister and Ruler of Dubai, who passed away this morning.

I just recently returned from Dubai and have come to understand that he was instrumental in making the U.A.E. what it is today.

Saeed, please accept our condolences for your loss.

Dubai's ruler Sheikh Maktoum dies

The ruler of Dubai, Sheikh Maktoum bin Rashid Al Maktoum, died aged 62 while visiting Australia, the president's office said. Sheikh Maktoum was also the vice-president and prime minister of the United Arab Emirates (UAE), a federation of seven Gulf states.

He was staying at a luxury hotel on Queensland's Gold Coast when he died.

Crown Prince Sheikh Mohammed bin Rashid Al Maktoum, his brother, succeeded him as ruler of Dubai.

Sheikh Mohammed has been the UAE defence minister since 1971 and heir apparent to the throne of Dubai since 1995.

He has been largely responsible for the phenomenal growth and development of the city in recent years, but with Sheikh Maktoum's blessing.

'Historical leader'

"The United Arab Emirates today lost a historical leader who devoted his life to establishing the United Arab Emirates and enhancing its structure and the welfare of its people," said a statement from the UAE's presidency.

The Ministry of Presidential Affairs from the neighbouring emirate of Abu Dhabi said Sheikh Maktoum had "placed his country's interest over any other considerations".

"He was a model of good behaviour," the statement added.

Forty days of national mourning have been declared.

Sheikh Maktoum maintained a low profile, preferring to allow his younger brothers to run the daily affairs of Dubai.

The statement did not indicate the cause of death of Sheikh Maktoum.

Sheikh Mohammed has been Dubai's heir apparent since 1995

Queensland Police spokeswoman Chelsea Roffey said the Dubai ruler died at the Palazzo Versace hotel, where rooms cost up to $2,600 per night.

He had arrived in Australia on 28 December.

Sheikh Maktoum's body is expected to be flown back to Dubai from Brisbane on his private Boeing 747-400 later on Wednesday.

The BBC's Julia Wheeler in Dubai says Sheikh Maktoum was well-liked in Dubai and his death will come as a shock to many.

But his death is unlikely to change the direction of policy either in Dubai or in the UAE, our correspondent says.

Internationally, Sheikh Maktoum was known as co-owner of Dubai's Godolphin stables, which competes in major horse races.

Saeed,
My heartfelt condolences to you and your family at this time of loss.


On the plains of hesitation lie the bleached bones of ten thousand, who on the dawn of victory lay down their weary heads resting, and there resting, died.

If you can talk with crowds and keep your virtue,
Or walk with Kings - nor lose the common touch...
Yours is the Earth and everything that's in it,
And - which is more - you'll be a Man, my son!
- Rudyard Kipling

Life grows grim without senseless indulgence.

Gentlemen,

Thank you all very much for your condolences.

Sheikh Maktoum was a much loved ruler, and an extremely modest person. He continued the old Beduin tradition of being accessible to everyone.

We will all miss him.

I think it was October of 1998 when me and some friends were dining at the Dubai Hyatt. We had just finished and were waiting for another guy to come down from the head (it's upstairs and a long way from the resteraunt).

Up rolls a calvacade of motorcycles, and a big Humvee. I looked at the photos on the wall and outstepped the same man.

He was dining with the most beautiful woman I had ever seen and some other friends. The Hyatt staff told me she was a local newscaster. Security wasn't lax but it wasn't enough for the ruler of a nation.

My sincerest condolances. The man made the Dubai I knew in 1998 into the Dubai I loved in 2005. And the place was beautiful in 1998 and continues to get better with each trip.

You need to see the Grand Hyatt and the Bur Jal Arab hotels. Nothing quite like either one.
