迪拜有皇家学院么？
The Royal Family of Dubai 迪拜王室 The ruler of this sheikhdom is Sheikh Mohammed bin Rashid Al Maktoum， who has ruled from the time he took over in August 2006 until now. He was born on February 14， 1949 and is one of seven sons from his father’s second wife， Sheikha Fatima bint Mubarak；the elder son， Sheikh Hamdan， died in a plane crash in Switzerland in 1998. His mother， Sheikha Hessa bint Ahmad， passed away last year（2012）.
He went to school at the French Lycée， in Cairo， where he learned English and French fluently， as well as conversational Arabic. In 1971， when he was twelve， he moved with his family to Washington DC， where they took up residence in Georgetown area. There， he attended St. Albans School for boys；now， the palace is located on that same property.
When it comes to his royal duties， he says， “I am just like any other person living here in Dubai. We are all equal before the law”. He is known to shop at local supermarkets、take taxis and eat out in restaurants with his family. And while he might fly in private jets， he often takes Dubai’s public buses to work——to the relief of commuters， given the city’s notorious traffic jams！ But despite his humble roots——his grandfather was a farmer——he is very proud of his heritage， saying， ‘‘We want our citizens to be proud of their country， because we are proud of them’’. 他就是现任的迪拜国王，谢赫·穆罕默德·本·拉希德·阿勒马克图姆。 从1958年至2005年间，迪拜一直由哈立德•本•苏丹•阿勒马克图姆（Khaled Bin Sultan Al-Maktoum）统治。
在2006年8月接替王位时，他就已经是四个孩子中的老大。他的母亲是一位富有的酋长的妻子，而他的父亲则是前任国王的弟弟。
尽管他有着皇室身份，但生活却非常简朴，而且十分热衷于将自己培养成一个能独立生活的男人。 他说：“我想让人们为自己的国家感到骄傲，因为我为我的国家而感到骄傲。”
