Educational Progress Airmail (Sheikh Rashid & President Arif)- 1 rupee

This airmail stamp stems from the same Educational Progress series, utilizing an identical central torch and architectural frame but adapting the portraits for a different international partnership. This higher denomination pairs the portrait of Dubai's ruler, Sheikh Rashid bin Saeed Al Maktoum, on the left with President Abdul Salam Arif, who served as the President of Iraq from 1963 until his death in 1966. The issue documents the cultural, academic, and literacy exchanges coordinated between Baghdad and Dubai during this formative decade, using the airmail network to celebrate regional integration, academic modernization, and structural advancement.
