Dubai will auction premium vehicle number plates to raise funds for charity at an exclusive sale this weekend.
The Dubai Roads and Transport Authority (RTA) announced its support of the Most Noble Number charity auction, organised by Mohammed bin Rashid Al Maktoum Global Initiatives (MBRGI) at the Four Seasons Resort Dubai at Jumeirah Beach on March 24 in support of the Mothers’ Endowment campaign, which honours mothers by establishing a AED1bn ($272m) endowment fund to support the education of millions of individuals.
RTA has dedicated a set of 10 special vehicle plate numbers to be auctioned at the event, with proceeds going towards the Mothers’ Endowment campaign, which gives contributors a chance to make donations in honour of their mothers.

The Most Noble Number charity auction in Dubai is expected to welcome notable businessmen and philanthropists from various circles, keen to support a noble cause.
Mattar Al Tayer, Director General and Chairman of the Board of Executive Directors, RTA, said the initiative by Sheikh Mohammed bin Rashid Al Maktoum, Vice President, Prime Minister and Ruler of Dubai, to launch the Mothers’ Endowment campaign is another addition to humanitarian initiatives we have come to expect to be launched every year to encourage sustainable charity efforts and instill noble values.
This campaign solidifies the UAE’s reputation for unlimited support and generosity around the world under the leadership of its President, Sheikh Mohamed bin Zayed Al Nahyan.
Al Tayer said: “Dedicating this year’s initiative to the mother conveys a profound message affirming the status of mothers who play a crucial role in their children’s lives, and in building communities.
“Contributing to the Mothers’ Endowment campaign repays a small part of the debt we all have to our mothers.
“RTA is keen to support humanitarian initiatives launched by His Highness Sheikh Mohammed bin Rashid, as part of our commitment to our moral duty and to social responsibility.
“This year, RTA is supporting the campaign by dedicating 10 special plate numbers to be auctioned during the Most Noble Number charity auction, as proceeds will be dedicated to the Mothers’ Endowment campaign.”
The Mothers’ Endowment campaign aims to promote the values of honouring parents, kindness, compassion and solidarity, and to solidify the UAE’s humanitarian role by establishing a sustainable endowment that provides education and empowerment to underprivileged populations.
The Mothers’ Endowment campaign continues to welcome donations and contributions to the endowment fund from institutions and individuals across six main channels, including the campaign’s website, as well as a dedicated call centre via the toll-free number (800 9999).
Donations are also possible via bank transfers in the UAE dirham to the campaign bank account number with Emirates Islamic Bank (AE790340003708472909201).
Donations via SMS are possible by sending the word “Mother” to the following numbers (1034, 1035, 1036, 1038) for Etisalat by e& users.
