General Questions About The Ruling Family Of Abu Dhabi 1:

[feiraguy]

The son of the Ruler of Umm Al Quwain is engaged to the daughter of Sheikh Ammar, Crown Prince of Ajman, the information was released today.
The mothers of the bride and groom are sisters, they are daughters of the late Ruler of Ras Al Khaimah, i.e. it is a marriage between first cousins

The small emirates use the strategy of making marriages among themselves, it is a way of demonstrating mutual support and counterbalancing the influence of Abu Dhabi

Of all the heirs and possible future heirs, the only unmarried is Humaid bin Ammar, we'll see what the plans are for him, it won't be long

Nice to know about their engagement from you. Al Qassimis marry mostly outside of their family. Non Al Nahyans try to do this. CP of RAK wanted to marry Tahnoun's granddaughter but ended up to marry an Al Maktoum who is niece to Hind and Al Mualla ruler. Fujairah ruler had Al Nuaimi mother, he married Al Maktoum and that helped his son to marry Dubai Ruler's daughter though they are 2nd cousins.

Is Sheikh Hamad bin Tahnoun married late Sheikh Khalifa bin Zayed's daughter? If so, why there is no public picture of Sheikh Mohammed bin Hamad or his chdren witj the late Sheikh Khalifa?

 

[Puchu]

Is Sheikh Hamad bin Tahnoun married late Sheikh Khalifa bin Zayed's daughter? If so, why there is no public picture of Sheikh Mohammed bin Hamad or his chdren witj the late Sheikh Khalifa?

I also asked same question before. But I found only one picture of Hessa bint Mohammad bin Hamad with Khalifa and Zayed MBZ. That photo seemed like they/khalifa visited each other while Hessa was born. No pictures available after that. Only Mohammad bin Hamad's children are not seen with Khalifa's family. Otherwise, his siblings and their kids are still attached with Khalifa family. Mohammed bin Hamad also less get along with Khalifa family. Btw childhood pictures of him are available with them

 

[Puchu]

Khalifa bin Nahyan bin Hamdan and Hamda bint Khalifa bin Mohammed bin Khalid welcomed their first child, a boy named Mohammed

 

[Purplerain]

Yh…. I always felt it was weird there was no pictures of Mohammed bin Hamd and his siblings too.
Isn’t his youngest sibling Khalifa around the same age as his daughter Hessa?
It seems from the outside that he has his allegiance to MbZ.
Even his brothers wedding I didn’t see a pic of him? But we are not in the family so it’s just theories.
And it might be weird as he is obviously descended from Hessa bint a Mohammed and his wife’s family is from Fatima bint Mubarak. Especially if there was tension with succession and all that. I know the royals like to project the image of unity and all that but with all families, especially polygamous families there will be issues, big or small.

 

[Imanmajed]

Who is the white America looking man always accompanying MBZ?

What’s his role, what’s his background, Muslim?

His name is Bassam Said Freiha. He is a prominent business man from lebanon, holds a Bachelor of Arts in Political Science and is CEO of Dar Assayad. Dar Assayad is one of the leading Pan-Arab publishers through expansion with offices in many arab countries. Bassam Said Freiha also fulfills a diplomatic role. He has been a special diplomatic envoy to Lebanese presidents since 1978. As such, he travels widely to meet with Heads of State and political leaders. Over many years he has established deep friendships with kings, presidents, rulers and top officials, in the Arab world and further afield. He also maintains and promotes charitable enterprises worldwide and has been the recipient of numerous honors and awards from different countries, including UAE.

 

[whitepaper]

So he is a Lebanese diplomat to UAE or just visiting Abu Dhabi ? Or is he part of MBZs envoy ? I don't remember seeing much of him though.

 

[Imanmajed]

No, he has been a special diplomatic envoy to Lebanese presidents since long. In this role, he has managed to make friends with a wide variety of rulers, presidents and government officials in the arab world, especially in the gulf region. I think he was there privately on the day of the video.

This is hamad bin tahnoun from 2015, he is still young looking. There are another video from 2022, thats also same.

This is Sheikh Hamad with his son Mohammed.

Hamad bin Tahnoun and his family keep low key and thats why we dont see him with his sons much.

https://www.instagram.com/p/2dnM9XIP84/?igshid=MzRlODBiNWFlZA==

Yes, his daughter Hussa and his brother Khalifa are same aged. Btw, Khalifa graduated from high school after one year of Hessa. So, he can be younger too.

Mohammed bin Hamad married young, he was either 18 or 19. His wife was also 18. 20-22 years of age gaps between youngest and oldest are common in Arab ruling families.

He doesn't get along with his maternal grandfather's family. Same goes for his paternal grandfather Tahnoun, rarely seen. He is seen much with his brother in laws, bin Zayeds and zayed's grandsons, precisely bani fatima. Sometimes with Sultan khalifa's sons.

Though he named his first daughter after Hussa bint Mohammed bin Khalifa, Khalifa's mother. Thereafter, he named his children favoring his in laws family

Feiraguy, I find that like Mansoor, Mohammed bin Hamad also shows cordiality towards Mohammed bin Mansour.

This part of the family is really quite complex; Hamad is very private, he literally only appears in public at his children's weddings, which makes it difficult to interpret his friendships and alliances within the family; I noticed that of the four marriages involving his children, only one (Tahnoun bin Hamad) was married to a first cousin, another granddaughter of Khalifa; the other marriages, with children of Mohamed bin Zayed, Issa bin Zayed and Khalifa bin Sultan bin Shakhbout are somewhat random; does this show that he is well connected with various sections of the family, or the opposite, a lack of alliances within the Khalifa and Tahnoun families? Almost impossible to get a correct answer

And Mohamed bin Hamad really is much more connected with Bani Fatima than with Khalifa or Tahnoun's families, and he seems to have been rewarded for that, he is the President's favorite son-in-law and is involved in several strategic issues, I believe that in the future he will gain more responsibilities; his son and daughters will get good marriages too, this will increase his influence within the family

I think we've already talked about how a marriage between Mohamed bin Mansour and Salama bint Mohamed bin Hamad is very likely, their families seem to like each other a lot

I think its lack of alliances or favoring business means with connections. Khalifa bin Sultan bin Shakhbout's sons have reputation for businesses. This also facilitated Zayed bin Khalifa marrying Hessa bint Sultan bin Khalifa or may be hessa chosed him to marry.
Issa bin Zayed is a successful real estate developer with bad reputation. His wife's background helped may be for his son's marriage.

Clearing a confusion- It was Hessa bint Sultan bin Khalifa who married Tahnoun bin Saeed bin Saif in 2017 and divorced from him. She remarried in 2021 and Zayed bin Khalifa bin Sultan is her husband.

 

[feiraguy]

That makes sense, Hamad bin Tahnoun is a businessman, I remember he has influence in the industrial environment, it is the logic that his alliances are financially oriented

Since Issa has no options on his side (Nasser only had one child, and his sister didn't), his children's marriages would be guided by his ex-wife's connections, it's an odd situation, I imagine he wants influence and strengthen his alliances, it makes sense for him to ally himself with someone like Hamad bin Tahnoun

Even on his ex-wife's side, I believe there are only two options: Reem bint Ahmed and Nahyan bin Hamdan's youngest daughter; we'll see Issa's sons marrying girls from different sides of the family

 

[Puchu]

I didn't knew Hamad bin Tahnoun is a businessman. Is Khalifa bin Saif also a business person? He also doesn't hold any political positions. Wait see to whom Shamsa bint Hamad gets married.

It seems those who have big business, they are making alliances through that. Sultan bin Khalifa is another example. Dana's husband was also a businessman. Tahnoun bin Zayed is also known for his trades, makes sense.

Is Issa bin Zayed divorced from Maryam bint Hamdan? Can you say which children are from Maryam?

Another que: How many children Rashid bin Hamdan has? Whats her wife's name? I know he married Sheikh Tahnoun bin Mohammed's daughter. Does Mouza bint Hamdan have any sons?

 

[feiraguy]

If you google "Sheikh Hamad bin Tahnoun" or Tahnoon you will find some results about his business. I have no information about Khalifa bin Saif

This news below is interesting, it talks about business between Hamad and Ahmed bin Saeed Al Maktoum; it also mentions that Hamad owns a company called Majestic Wings, in the aviation sector; his son Mohamed also has a career in the aviation industry, including being Chairman of Abu Dhabi Airports

https://www.aeconline.ae/constructi...-central-2s-aviation-district-36600/news.html

Yes, Issa is divorced; I believe that the eldest sons Hamdan, Dhiyab, Zayed, Mohamed and Khalifa are Maryam's children, but it is difficult to be sure

Not sure about Rashid; I only know the three sons, including the one who died, and the daughter who got married last year.. And Mouza had no male children

 

[Puchu]

Have you noticed the another co-owner name? Hamad bin Khalifa Al Nahyan! If you find any familial or more professional infos on khalifa hamad, share it here.

Do you know Issa bin Zayed's current wife? Which family etc?

Puchu, other sources say "Khalifa bin Hamad", I imagine Hamad put his son as the owner of the company

Interesting to discover that Hamad is an entrepreneur in the aviation sector; previously we discussed the closeness between Mohamed bin Hamad and his father's family, it's good to discover that they followed the same profession, it is possible that Hamad influences or is an adviser in the way his son manages Abu Dhabi Airports

I have no information about Issa; to be honest I've never looked into it, if I find something I'll bring it here

EDIT:

Also about Hamad's family, his son Tahnoun is an Advisor to the Minister of State, Sheikh Shakhbout bin Nahyan

https://www.mofa.gov.ae/en/mediahub/news/2022/11/3/03-11-2022-uae-flag-day

I know that he has a degree from the government's Diplomatic Academy, he will probably pursue this career

 

[Malayi Arr]

Clearing a confusion- It was Hessa bint Sultan bin Khalifa who married Tahnoun bin Saeed bin Saif in 2017 and divorced from him. She remarried in 2021 and Zayed bin Khalifa bin Sultan is her husband.

This is the first we heard an AlNahyan woman who remarried.
This also clears that Sheikha Shamma bint Sultan bin Khalifa never married Sheikh Mohammed bin Hamdan bin Zayed?

 

[Puchu]

Mostly they dont mention bride's name, thats why we dont know it if they remarried. I think there are more. Since hissa and Sheikha Saif are famous, people got known that.

Again, I still think its Al Yazia bint Sultan who married Mohammed bin Hamdan bin Zayed. Both are almost same aged and the marriage happened in 2007 while Al Yazia was 22 and Hessa, 21. Shamma was much young. Dana married in 2010, seems unusual to me that Dana married in 2007, she was also young. So, Al Yazia is the valid name for that marriage. I dont think Shamma would marry without announcing it in social media unlike Al Maktoum girls.

I would like to put all names of Sheikh Sultan's children according to age.

Al Yazia (1985), Hissa, Zayed (1988), Dana, Shamma (early 90s), Mohammed (1995), Khalid, Diyab, Khalifa, Ahmed (2003), Omar, Nahyan & Salama (2015), Sahab (2022).

Not sure about the age of Shamsa, Roudha, Al Maha. But I think Al maha is from 2000s and Roudha, Shamsa from mid or late 90s.

Al maha is Omar, Khalid, Diyab's full sister.

Ahmed, Nahyan, Salama, Sahab are full siblings. Their mother is Sumaya bint Ahmed Al Falamrzi.

Roudha and Shamsa are full sisters.

Still not sure about Dana, can be from Umm Roudha. May be Sheikha Saif's which has strong points. Now she is living in Sheikha Saif's house along with her children. If I am not wrong, Dana is divorced.

 

[Purplerain]

Someone said on here that Maha was part black?
I don’t think some of the other siblings are full siblings like Sumaya.
I’m pretty sure she just has three kids with the latest being the baby girl. But she’s close with other sons mother?

 

[Purplerain]

Also Khalifa bin Said has 8 children instead of 7.
Someone missed another daughter.
Making 5 daughters and 3 sons.

 

[Serenei]

Hey, would that be the son of Salama bint Tahnoun bin Saeed bin Shakhbout? I knew Salama and Abdulaziz had Maryam but do you know if Zayed is hers? Or another wife of Abdulaziz

Sorry forgot about the link

Edit: I think it is Salama’s because Latifa bint Zayed posted the pic of Zayed bin Abdulaziz and Saeed bin Zayed.

 

[Puchu]

Salama and Abdulaziz have 3 children. Maryam, another daughter whose name i dont know, and Zayed.

 

[Puchu]

Yes. Its Khalifa bin Saif. His cousin Khalifa bin Saeed exists.

Latifa, Maryam, Shamsa, Hamda, Shaikha. Shaikha is unmarried

I’m pretty sure she just has three kids with the latest being the baby girl. But she’s close with other sons mother?

They said it because of her profile picture. Though the picture itself is unclear. Everyone doesn't look same even if they are full siblings. If she is not Khalid's full sis, then must be Roudha's. They look like same.

Again, what I said about Ahmed is sure. If Ahmed is not her son, then why Sumaya's siblings would accompany him from first? Do they do same thing for others? If you go through Ibrahim, Eman, Elham Al Falamrzi accounts you will find a lot of pictures of Ahmed with them, same they do for Nahyan, Salama. Sumaya posts about Ahmed, while she doesn't do the same for her other step children. She doesnt introduce him as her son directly, nothing more.
