The formal mourning ceremonies at Al Zaher Palace underscore the deep interconnections between the Emirates' leadership and reflect centuries-old traditions of solidarity during times of loss.
Crown Prince Leads Fujairah Delegation

During the visit, the Crown Prince expressed his heartfelt sympathies and prayers, asking Allah to grant the deceased His mercy and to provide patience and comfort to her family.
The presence of Fujairah's future ruler at the condolence ceremony demonstrates the importance placed on maintaining strong inter-emirate relationships, particularly between neighboring territories that share both geographical proximity and historical ties.
Cultural and Media Leadership Participates
Dr. Sheikh Rashid bin Hamad Al Sharqi, Chairman of the Fujairah Culture and Media Authority, also offered his condolences to the Ajman ruler. This participation by cultural leadership highlights how the UAE's intellectual and media establishment remains closely connected to the ruling families across all seven emirates.
Sons Receive Widespread Support
The deceased's sons—Sheikh Hamdan, Sheikh Saqr, Sheikh Mohammed, Sheikh Ahmed, and Sheikh Sultan bin Rashid Al Nuaimi—received condolences from a broad spectrum of UAE society. The mourners included fellow sheikhs, senior government officials, prominent citizens, and both Emirati nationals and expatriate residents, reflecting the family's wide-reaching influence across the emirate.
Ajman's Administrative Elite Honors Tradition
The condolence ceremony drew Ajman's key administrative figures, demonstrating how governance and tradition intersect in the UAE system. Among those present were Sheikh Ahmed bin Humaid Al Nuaimi, representing the ruler for administrative and financial affairs, and Sheikh Abdul Aziz bin Humaid Al Nuaimi, Chairman of the Tourism Development Department.
Other senior officials included Sheikh Rashid bin Humaid Al Nuaimi from the Municipality and Planning Department, Sheikh Rashid bin Ammar bin Humaid Al Nuaimi from Ajman Digital Department, and His Excellency Dr. Sheikh Majid bin Saeed Al Nuaimi, Chairman of the Emiri Diwan. Major General Sheikh Sultan bin Abdullah Al Nuaimi, Commander-in-Chief of Ajman Police, also attended alongside other prominent family members.
Institutional Continuity Through Personal Bonds
These formal mourning rituals serve a dual purpose in the UAE's governance model. While honoring the deceased and supporting the bereaved family, they also reinforce the personal relationships that underpin the federation's political stability. The attendance of department heads and security leadership alongside royal family members illustrates how personal loyalty and institutional responsibility remain intertwined in the Emirates' system.
The ceremony reflects the UAE's unique approach to leadership, where traditional tribal customs continue to play a vital role in maintaining unity among the seven emirates, even as the nation rapidly modernizes across economic and technological sectors.
