Said bin Buti
Said bin Buti ( Arabic سعيد بن بطي, DMG Saʿīd ibn Buṭī ; † 1859 ) became ruler of Dubai in 1852 after the death of his brother Sheikh Maktum bin Buti . Like his brother, he made Dubai a safer place for all residents.
During his term of office, alliances with the rulers of Abu Dhabi and Umm al-Qaiwain fall in order to consolidate his position in any disputes. In 1853 he signed a treaty with Great Britain that left the defense and foreign policy to it and thus became part of the Trucial Coast, as the later UAE were then called. He was succeeded as ruler of Dubai by Sheikh Hascher bin Maktum .
