Hi, I'm new member of this forum and I'm really curious about the succession thing in UAE. My question is why sh. Khalifa bin Zayed didn't appointed his eldest son to become the crown prince of Abu Dhabi, why he delegate it to his brother instead? I thought the rule was the same as england, guess I was wrong then. English is not my first language, so sorry if it created confusion kk
Thank you for replying to me. And is it true that only son from woman who born in UAE can becomes crown prince?
Glad there is no racism toward children who come from woman that is born in UAE/not.
I always wonder why sheikh Mo elder brother didn't appointed his son to be the crown prince, ....
But, what if there is coup d'etat/assassination to leader that was already appointed by seven Emirates? Did they still accept that new leader?
In all probability, Sheikh Mo bin Zayed will be the President and his son Khaled will be the Crown Prince.
it's currently undecided who will replace MBZ as crown prince of Abu Dhabi. MBZ’s brother and influential National Security Adviser Sheikh Tahnoon bin Zayed is a contender.
Yeah, you're right I forgot about him. His brother especially Sh. Tahnoun and Sh. Mansour I think is the strong contender along with Sh. MBZ's son. I'm not quite familiar with his son but judging by parent instinct, they most likely favour their son over brothers. Time will tells, if the seven Emirates really did choose his son as they see fit not because he's the current ruler son, whoever that is I hope he can brings more prosperity to his peoples ..
MBZ will chose and the other six ruler confirm /express their support for the CP chosen by MBZ.
What is known about Sheikh Hamdan bin Mohammed bin Zayed al Nahyan, son of the prince heir of Abu Dhabi? Is he married? Does he have children? single what age do you have? study?
Hi everyone. I'm new here. I'm interested in Abu dhabi Royal Family. I'm really curious about Sheikh Yas bin Hamdan bin Zayed Al Nahyan and Sheikh Zayed bin Mohamed bin Zayed Al Nahyan. Any information about them about the young royals?
Thank you very much Ladyda. I just found out that Sheikh Hazza bin Hamdan just got married last May to Sheikha Maryam bin Saeed bin Zayed Al Nahyan. Sheikh Yas bin Hamdan probably studied in a University somewhere in New York. I really followed them on Instagram.
@Ladyda Sheikh Zayed bin Hamdan is recovering, he attends alot of family functions/gatherings like weddings or Eid Prayer sometimes in wheelchair or in quad cane. But he's not active on social media now like Instagram. He has 2 older brothers Sheikh Zayed (married to Sheikh Latifa Khalifa)and Sheikh Mohammed and 3 younger brothers Sheikh Hazza ( married to Sheikh Maryam bint Saeed bin Zayed), Sheikh Yas, and Sheikh Rashid. His sister Salama bint Hamdan (married to Sheikh Theyab bin Mohamed bin Zayed), he also have other sister but I don't know their names.You're welcome Malayi Arr. Since you follow sh. Hazza bin Hamdan, did you know anything about his brother also sh. Zayed bin Hamdan? I heard that he got an accident when on duty which cause his leg cannot function like before, I hope he's okay now. Like how many full siblings he had or anything else, anyone?? And I never heard anything about sh. Issa bin Zayed children and they whereabouts. These royals used to announce their children marriage through medias especially if the children married to royalty/cousin also. I wonder did his children married to non royal? I don't want sh. Issa's children name or something, but I hope they're okay, so I can be at peace ..
I don't know if any of Sheikh Issa bin Zayed sons are married. They looked like they're on their early or mid twenties. If they got married they would've announce it for sure and they'll get married within the family.You're welcome Malayi Arr. Since you follow sh.

The sons of Sheikh Isa bin Zayed names are Sheikh Hamdan, Sheikh Zayed, and Sheikh Mohammed.
Sheikh Zayed bin Issa just graduated from American University in Washington few days after the wedding of Sheikh Hazza bin Hamdan. Sheikh Issa bin Zayed's sons are very close to Sheikh Hazza bin Hamdan and Sheikh Yas bin Hamdan.

Wait the minute, if the eldest one married to sh. Latifa bint Khalifa then the one who actually married to sh. Shamma bint Mohammad is the youngest one aka sh. Zayed 2? And here I am though that's he's still single
So, in conclusion sh. Zayed 1 married to sh. Latifa bint Khalifa daughter of the former ruler of Abu Dhabi and the youngest one married to sh. Shamma bint Mohammad the current ruler of Abu Dhabi, am I correct? Seriously why they recycle the names a lot, it's hard to tell who's daughter is who. Anyway, did this sh. Zayed 2 have children yet? He posted pictures of children but I'm not sure whether it's his younger bro, cousin or nephew
Sheikh Hamdan bin Zayed have two sons from the first marriage:
Sheikh Sultan (not Zayed), married to a daughter of Sheikh Khalifa bin Zayed (Latifa)
Sheikh Mohamed, married to a daughter of Sheikh Tahnoun bin Mohamed
and four sons and three daughters from the second marriage:
Sheikh Zayed, married to a daughter of President Mohamed bin Zayed
Sheikh Hazza, married to a daughter of Sheikh Saeed bin Zayed
Sheikh Yas
Sheikh Rashid
the wife of Sheikh Dhiyab bin Mohamed bin Zayed
the wife of Sheikh Shakhbout bin Nahyan bin Mubarak
the wife of Sheikh Khalifa bin Tahnoun bin Mohamed

Thanks a lot, did you know that if he already has children or not? When did he got married anyway? I try to dig his Instagram but there no announcement about the nikkah
Sheikh Issa known sons are: Hamdan (married to a daughter of Sheikh Hamad bin Tahnoun bin Mohamed), Dhiyab, Zayed, Mohamed, Khalifa, Hazza, Nasser, Sultan and Saeed. Daughters are: Shamma and Ameena.
the wives of Sheikh Hamdan bin Zayed, Sheikh Saeed bin Zayed and Sheikh Issa bin Zayed are full sisters, that explain the closeness
Huh, that's a lot of children MasyaAllah
Are they sheikhas by born or they gain them through marriage? It's kind of bamboozled me how the sisters can married into the same family at the same time. If they gain them through married they must be hella pretty & have others nice qualities to catch Al-Nahyan siblings attention, MasyaAllah. I didnt mean to say that sheikhas by born aren't pretty, it's just that the cases of siblings married to another family siblings rarely happen let's alone to royalty if you're not born sheikhas/royalty of course. Is there a thread dedicated to Al-Nahyan family tree? Kindly let me know if you found one ?
