Lieutenant General Khalfan bin Matar Al Rumaithi, remembered for his exceptional character and career, served his country and community with sincerity, honesty, responsibility and loyalty. He held several important positions and tasks, demonstrating a generous spirit that spanned decades.
As a devoted compatriot, he was a close associate of the late Sheikh Zayed bin Sultan Al Nahyan and lived by Sheikh Zayed’s values of kindness, generosity, nation-building and dedicated service.
Khalfan Matar Al Rumaithi’s notable service, which spanned more than half a century, took him from a soldier in 1950 to founder of the Emiri Guard. His long-standing service earned him the UAE First Class Medal in 2017.
In 2005, he was honored with the Abu Dhabi Award, in recognition of his significant contributions to the UAE under his wise leadership.
