Sheikh Khalifa bin Zayed bin Khalifa Al Nahyan (Arabic: ٱلشَّيْخ خَلِیْفَة بِن زَایِد بِن خَلِیْفَة آل نَهْيَان, romanized: Ash-Shaykh Khalīfah bin Zāyid bin Khalīfah Āl Nahyān) was the eldest son of Abu Dhabi ruler Zayed bin Khalifa Al Nahyan. He was brother of 4 Abu Dhabi rulers Tahnoon, Hamdan, Saqr and Sultan bin Zayed bin Khalifa Al Nahyan (who was the grandfather of current Ruler Khalifa bin Zayed bin Sultan Al Nahyan). He was a great grandfather of Nahyan Bin Mubarik Bin Muhammad Bin Khalifa. He refused to ascend the throne as his mother begged him to refuse, as she was sure he would be killed. He reportedly built Al-Muwaiji Fort in what is now the city of Al Ain during the early 20th century, during the reign of his father.[1]
