While not required by the UAE constitution, the practice is that the ruler of Dubai simultaneously serves as the Vice President of the UAE. The Vice President is elected by Federal Supreme Council for renewable five-year-terms.

The first vice president, Rashid bin Saeed Al Maktoum, took office on 2 December 1971. Every prime minister since 1979 also held the title of vice president.
