Zayed bin Sultan Al Nahyan

{Father of Sheikh Mohamed Bin Zayed (above)}




b. 1918 - d. 2004





While doing Saudi Arabia look ups today, I got people mixed up because I still have trouble remembering Arabic names and I stumbled on some United Arab Emirates videos - as well as amazing photos of Zayed bin Sultan al Nahyan.

Posted the above video because I enjoyed the music (even though I've no idea what they're singing) and the visuals were kind of cool, too. 

Although it's probably a bit weird, I've also posted the pics of Zayed bin Sultan al Nahyan.  I love the traditional dress photos because he seems to really look the part (especially with the falcon).  I also think he has such an amazing face.
As I said, I find the names a bit confusing.  I'm hoping I've got the relationship and the site links straight.
Checking out videos and photos is something I need to remember to do more often.  Having a mental picture of people associated with places helps make information more interesting and memorable, I think.
Tried to figure out what al Nahyan means, but I can't.
