Humaid bin Rashid Al Nuaimi

Humaid bin Rashid Al Nuaimi was the Ruler of Ajman, one of the Trucial States which today form the United Arab Emirates (UAE), from 1838 to 1841, when he was deposed by his brother, Abdelaziz bin Rashid Al Nuaimi. Humaid ruled from Abdelaziz' death in 1848 until his own death in 1864.

Accession Humaid acceded following the death of his father, Sheikh Rashid bin Humaid Al Nuaimi. Rashid's eldest son, Ali, was a businessman and had removed himself from day to day involvement in the majlis and had no interest in becoming Ruler.

Humaid was a signatory to the 1853 Perpetual Maritime Truce with the British. The treaty followed the ten year treaty of peace, intended to protect the pearling fleets during the annual fishing seasons, proposed by Samuel Hennell. The 1853 Treaty, signed with Captain Arnold Burrowes Kemball, the British Resident at Bushire was to be, as the name suggests, in perpetuity and signed between 4 and 9 May 1853 by Saeed bin Tahnun Al Nahyan of Abu Dhabi together with Abdullah bin Rashid Al Mualla of Umm Al Quwain; Saeed bin Butti Al Maktoum of Dubai and Sultan bin Saqr Al Qasimi, ‘Chief of the Joasmees’. and was succeeded by Sheikh Rashid bin Humaid Al Nuaimi II.
