Mohammed bin Rashid studied English in Cambridge, England, after completing his secondary education there. He also took military training at an Aldershot cadet school.

Mohammed bin Rashid was named the defence minister and was responsible for creating the federal Union Defense Force. <\/span><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.squareyards.ae\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/08\/Sheikh-Mohammed-bin-Rashid-Al-Maktoum.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-4325\" src=\"https:\/\/www.squareyards.ae\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/08\/Sheikh-Mohammed-bin-Rashid-Al-Maktoum.jpg\" alt=\"Sheikh Mohammed bin Rashid Al Maktoum\" width=\"1000\" height=\"667\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.squareyards.ae\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/08\/Sheikh-Mohammed-bin-Rashid-Al-Maktoum.jpg 1000w, https:\/\/www.squareyards.ae\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/08\/Sheikh-Mohammed-bin-Rashid-Al-Maktoum-300x200.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.squareyards.ae\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/08\/Sheikh-Mohammed-bin-Rashid-Al-Maktoum-768x512.jpg 768w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1000px) 100vw, 1000px\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">H.H. Mohammed and his three brothers took over the management of Dubai&#8217;s affairs when their father fell sick in the early 1980s. One of his major accomplishments of this time was the establishment of the Jebel Ali Port, known as the free-trade zone, which served as the hub for hundreds of industrial businesses.<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Mohammed devoted a significant portion of his reign to reviving Dubai from debt. However, high real estate costs, unrest in the region, and low oil prices created additional challenges to reducing the emirate&#8217;s outstanding debt burden.

The major contribution to transforming the image and financial ladder of the country is tourism which was encouraged by Sheikh Mohammed bin Rashid Al Maktoum.
