Sheikh Nasser bin Zayed al-Nayahan died in a helicopter accident late on Monday night. Sheikh Nasser was the brother of Sheikh Khalifa bin Zayed al-Nayahan, the President of the UAE and the ruler of Abu Dhabi. (That sentance took about 10 minutes to type, by the way!).
As a result, 3 days of national mourning have been declared - all government departments and ministries have closed, shopping malls have shut, radio stations ceased to broadcast anything except instrumental music and frequent bulletins about the death, and even some schools have closed.
Business however, is as usual!
