00:00See, I came in 1975 and that time there was nothing in Dubai. Then Sheikh Mohammed came
00:13and he made everything. He built Dubai. So I decided to collect Sheikh Mohammed photos
00:22because all the time, all Arabic, Sheikh Mohammed photos. And I started cutting and
00:28keeping, collecting photos. I started making albums. First album I made about 375 photos.
00:40Then I brought a suitcase, full of suitcase, Sheikh Mohammed photos. Then one day I decided
00:48what I'll do, can I make my decoration of all photos. So I started fixing photos on
01:01my doors first. I fixed one door, main door I fixed. I said okay, it's better to start
01:10all. So I started every day collecting. The six years I collected photos. In total I got
01:184,000 photos. Favorite photos I have one whose Sheikh Mohammed is playing tennis and he won
01:26the game. He's receiving a trophy. I have a wish, somebody to take me there. If I take,
01:35I have to hand over this album to him personally. I'm not giving anybody. But one day, I say
01:45always and I hope one day I'll reach our designer Sheikh.
