This is the fascinating story of the Sulayem Family's business empire and role in the economic development of Dubai and development of free ports around the world.
'For centuries, the rulers of Dubai have governed with a unique blend of flexibility and strong solidarity with their people. They placed great importance on consulting with the loyal men who surrounded them and relied heavily on the wise counsel of local advisors to make many of their decisions. This tradition continues to this day, and it remains one of the secrets behind Dubai's success and rapid development.'
In this professional and personal memoir, Sultan Ahmed bin Sulayem tells the story of his family's business legacy at the heart of Dubai's economic expansion over the last century. In his lifetime, Dubai has grown from one of the poorest countries, to a thriving hub for global finance and trading. This book tells us how it happened.
