Abdullah bin Rashid Al Mualla

[3] Relatively little is recorded regarding the reign of Abdullah bin Rashid and most contemporary sources date his rule by default to 1820 as he was a signatory to the General Maritime Treaty of 1820 following the British punitive expedition from Bombay against the Al Qasimi at Ras Al Khaimah.

Both Rulers signed the treaty at Falayah, an inland dependency of Ras Al Khaimah.

Abdullah bin Rashid was also signatory to the 1847 'Engagement to Prohibit Exportation of Slaves'[4] before signing the 1853 Perpetual Maritime Truce.

Following a number of these six-monthly treaties, a series of annual agreements was largely successful in maintaining peace on the coast, leading to the perpetual truce.

Abdullah bin Rashid is credited with building a bathhouse, or sharea, there - segregated for the use of men and women.
