He is the current ruler of Dubai and serves as the vice president and prime minister of the UAE. Mohammed succeeded his brother Maktoum bin Rashid Al Maktoum as UAE vice president, UAE prime minister and ruler of Dubai following the latter's death in 2006.

Under his leadership, Dubai became a global city. A number of government-owned enterprises have been launched, including the Emirates airline, DP World and the Jumeirah Group.

Mohammed oversaw the development of Palm Islands, the establishment of Burj Al Arab hotel and the Burj Khalifa, the tallest building in the world since 2010.
