الله يرحم الوالد زايد بن سلطان آل نهيان

It was 6 years ago that Shk Zayed passed away on 2 Nov 2004

Here is a very rare documentry I found on him and wanted to share

Thanks, he was an amazing leader, and most long timers will agree that the UAE was a much more pleasant place during his time...

Allah bless Baba Zayed

Yes for sure

I had the privilege of meeting him a couple of years before he died and, even though it was obvious he was quite weak and frail, there was a power within that was impossible to ignore. He was alert and very aware of the world around him and beyond.

My lasting memory was him telling a joke about the fact that he spent so much time in the back of his Mercedes limo, the seat now had a hump like his camel!

A true statesman and leader. Sadly missed.
