Sheikh Mohammed bin Rashid Al Maktoum, born on July 15, 1949, is the ruler of Dubai, as well as the vice president, prime minister, and minister of defense of the UAE. He succeeded his brother in 2006 and has significantly contributed to Dubai's transformation into a global city, overseeing projects like the Palm Islands, Burj Al Arab, and Burj Khalifa. A billionaire primarily through real estate, he also founded Emirates Airline, DP World, and the Jumeirah Group. Despite his achievements, his governance is described as authoritarian, and a 2020 British court ruling found he had abducted two of his daughters and threatened his former wife. An equestrian enthusiast, he founded the Godolphin stable and owns the Darley breeding operation.

The traditional men's headwear in some Middle Eastern areas consists of three components: a knitted skull-cap known as the "keffiyeh," (also referred to as a ghutrah, shemagh, or ḥaṭṭah) a large cotton headscarf, typically plain white or with a red-and-white checkered pattern, called the "ghutra," and a black cord named the "agal," which secures the ghutra in place.
