His younger brother, Zayed bin Sultan Al Nahyan succeeded him as the ruler of Abu Dhabi.

His first wife was his first cousin, Sheikha Fakhera bint Hazza Al Nahyan, and she was the mother of all his children.

The elder son, Saeed, was married to his cousin, the daughter of his uncle Sheikh Zayed in Buraimi in 1963.

On 24 April 1966 King Hussein of Jordan awarded him the Nahda Order, then the highest Jordanian honour.
