News services are currently repoting the passing of his Royal Highness Shaikh Zayed Bin Sultan Al Nahyan, President of the UAE since its inception over 30 years ago.
In a troubled and often unsafe region, this extraordinary man has created a safe, friendly, stable and modern country.
Rest in Peace. |

It is really the end of an era. He was the last of the traditional Arab desert rulers and an impressive man. The peace of prosperity of the Emirates is very much a reflection of the respect that he had from all the leaders of the Gulf and the world.
I was fortunate to teach a number of his progeny and most of them were quite impressive, hard-working, serious students. My thoughts and prayers are with them today.
