As Sheikh Mohammed Bin Hamad Al Sharqi marked his print in the Emirate of Fujairah's various life aspects, we in the Emirate of Fujairah seek to collect all documents on his activities and preserve them for future generations. We know for sure that the National Archives keeps the legacy of the great leaders who established the Union and developed the UAE to reach the most developed countries in record time.
