Dubai, 11 January 2022: A new book is
about to be published about His Highness Sheikh Mohammed bin
Rashid Al Maktoum, Vice President and Prime Minister of the UAE and Ruler of
Dubai, which has been written by Raed Barqawi, one of the most
respected journalists in the
region and Executive Editor-in-Chief of Al Khaleej newspaper.
Titled Dare to Dream: How Mohammed bin Rashid Made His Dream of
Dubai Come True, the book explores how, under the visionary
leadership of His Highness, Dubai has become a leading global hub for
talent and a place where the Arab youth can find the resources and
opportunities to fulfil their dreams.
Written in Arabic, the book
will be published later this month by Motivate Media, with an English edition
expected to follow shortly.
Raed Barqawi,
who will generously donate royalties from the book to Al Noor Training
Centre for Persons with Disabilities, said, “I have endeavoured to highlight
the vision that has enabled Dubai to become one of the most alluring cities in
the world. In Dare to Dream, I look into how HH Sheikh
Mohammed bin Rashid succeeded in enabling dreams in a region that had stopped
dreaming. The book also tries to explore – among other significant topics – the
qualities that Dubai and the UAE possess that empower them to dream at a time
when many have stopped; and what the future holds for this country?”
Ian Fairservice, Managing
Partner of Motivate Media Group, commented: “We are delighted to be publishing
this fascinating new book about His Highness. Raed is one of the most
distinguished voices in journalism and has been a trusted commentator on
regional affairs over the past many decades. His book talks about the wisdom
and foresight of HH Sheikh Mohammed bin Rashid and traces the impressive
development of the UAE. The book further explores His Highness’s leadership and
forward-looking initiatives that have helped inspire and empower the youth.
This will be a fascinating read for anyone who has marvelled at the incredible
growth story of the Emirate of Dubai and the UAE.”
