In 1938, as the pearling industry collapsed and Dubai's merchants felt the squeeze, a group of prominent traders staged a peaceful rebellion. They forced Sheikh Rashid bin Saeed Al Maktoum's father, Sheikh Saeed bin Maktoum, to accept a council that would oversee finances and development. This short-lived experiment—known as the Majlis al-Tujjar or the Merchant Council—lasted barely a year but left a deep imprint on Dubai's political DNA. In this episode, Lucas and Luna explore how Dubai's merchant families, led by figures like Sheikh Mohammed bin Ahmed bin Dalmouk and Sheikh Mohammed bin Ali bin Dalmouk, pushed for accountability and transparency. They trace the tensions between the Al Maktoum rulers and the powerful trading clans, the British role as wary observer, and how the council's collapse paved the way for the more centralized rule of Sheikh Rashid. Along the way, they connect the 1938 reforms to later developments, like the 1971 union, showing how Dubai's tradition of merchant consultation never entirely disappeared. A story of reform, ambition, and the delicate balance between commerce and authority in the Trucial States. #DubaiReformMovement1938 #MajlisAlTujjar #SheikhSaeedBinMaktoum #MerchantCouncil #TrucialStates #DubaiHistory #PearlingBust #SheikhMohammedBinDalmouk #AlMaktoum #BritishIndia #GulfHistory #UAEHistory #MerchantFamilies #PoliticalReform #1930s #FexingoHistory #History #MiddleEast Keep every episode free: buymeacoffee.com/fexingo
