Mohammed bin Zayed Al Nahyan Biography

Mohammed bin Zayed Al Nahyan is one of the most popular and richest Politician who was born on March 11, 1961 in Al Ain, Abu Dhabi, United Arab Emirates. Mohamed bin Zayed was born on the 11th of March 1961 in Al Ain, in what was then called the Trucial States. He is the third child of Zayed bin Sultan Al Nahyan (the first President of the United Arab Emirates, ruler of Abu Dhabi) and his third wife, Sheikha Fatima bint Mubarak Al Ketbi. Mohamed has six brothers: Khalifa, Hamdan, Hazza and Saeed. He also has a few siblings. He has five younger half-brothers, Hamdan, Hazza Tahnoun Mansour and Abdullah. They are known as Bani Fatima, or sons of Fatima.

As a young officer in the military, he was on vacation in Tanzania in the 1980s. He met the Masai people in Tanzania and witnessed their culture and poverty. He returned to his father, Sheikh Zayed. His father asked him about his efforts to help the people that he had met. Al Nahyan shrugged, and said that the people he had met were not Muslims. Al Nahyan stated, “He grasped my arm and looked very hard into my eyes. He replied, “We are all God’s children.”

In the early 1990s, Al Nahyan told Richard Clarke, then an assistant secretary of state, that he wanted to buy the F-16 fighter jet. Clarke replied that he must mean the F-16A, the model the Pentagon sold to American allies. Al Nahyan said no, he wanted a newer model he’d read about in Aviation Week, with an advanced radar-and-weapons system. Clarke told him that that model didn’t exist yet; the military hadn’t done the necessary research and development. Al Nahyan said the UAE would pay for the research and development. The subsequent negotiations went on for years, and according to Clarke “he ended up with a better F-16 than the U.S. Air Force had”.

In addition, he is the head of the Tawazun Economic Council, formerly known as UAE offsets programme bureau established in 1992 and is the head of the Abu Dhabi Education Council which was established in 2005. His efforts in the realm of economic development are aimed at increasing economic diversification in the Emirate of Abu Dhabi. As the head of the UAE offsets group, Al-Nahyan is involved with the task of channelling defence-related investments into profitable projects across different sectors in order to help diversify the economy of the UAE.

He joined the Royal Military Academy Sandhurst in 1979. He graduated in April 1979. He completed the fundamental armor course, the fundamental flying course, and was trained on tactical aircraft and helicopters. He met Abdullah of Pahang during his time at Sandhurst and they became close friends. Both were officer cadets at Royal Military Academy Sandhurst.
