Hascher bin Maktum
Hascher bin Maktum ( Arabic حشر بن مكتوم, DMG Ḥašr b. Maktūm ; † November 22, 1886 ) became ruler of the Emirates of Dubai in 1859 after the death of Sheikh Said bin Buti .
He proved to be an able ruler with a keen sense of justice.
He undertook to honor the agreements his predecessors had signed with the British and the rulers of Abu Dhabi and Umm al-Qaiwain .
Sheikh Hascher bin Maktum granted foreign traders tax exemption , which is why more and more merchants settled in Dubai. Thus he laid the foundation for the current position of Dubai.
