Sheikh Ahmed bin Rashid Al Maktoum, the youngest brother of Dubai's ruler Sheikh Mohammed bin Rashid Al Maktoum (UAE Vice President and Prime Minister), has died at the age of 76, with Dubai's Ruler's Court declaring ten days of official mourning and ordering flags flown at half-mast until 1 October. Sheikh Ahmed had a wide-ranging legacy in the emirate, serving as Deputy Chairman of Dubai Police and Public Security, founding Al Wasl Sports Club in 1960, and chairing ARM Holding, one of Dubai's largest private investment firms. UAE President Sheikh Mohamed bin Zayed Al Nahyan described his contributions to the country's development since its founding as a lasting source of inspiration.
