United Arab Emirates Travel Guide : UAE Photos : Arab Sheikh Photo

Inside, some documents of the time...
... and especially the photograph of the house-keeper: Sheikh Saeed Al Maktoum, who lived in this house and ruled Dubai from 1912 to 1958, the date of his death.

This photograph, like almost all of the ones that can be seen inside the museum, are from Ronald Codrai, an author who has also published 8 books about Arab countries (www.booksarabia.com).

By the way, many thanks to his son, Justin Codrai, for allowing me to show this reproduction.
