He was succeeded after his death by his brother Sheikh [[Mohammed bin Rashid Al Maktoum|Mohammed]] as Ruler of Dubai.

==Early life ==
He was born in 1943 in [[Al Shindagha]], [[Dubai]] to the [[Al Maktoum|Al Maktoum family]] of the Al Bu Falasah tribe.<ref>{{Cite book|last=Wilson, Graeme H.|title=Rashid's legacy : the genesis of the Maktoum family and the history of Dubai|date=2006|publisher=Media Prima|isbn=978-9948-8564-6-7|location=London|pages=159|oclc=182662443}}</ref>

Following his father's death on 7 October 1990, he resumed his position as Prime Minister of the United Arab Emirates, and also took over as Ruler of Dubai and Vice President of the United Arab Emirates. He served in all three positions until his death on 4 January 2006.
