Life and family
Salamah is believed to be from the family of Al Qubaisi, a prominent Bedouin tribe from Liwa, who also settled Khor Al Adaid. Salamah herself was from Mezairaa in Liwa.
After the assassination of her husband in 1927, she took Zayed from Abu Dhabi to Al Ain, and made her sons swear an oath that they would not kill or fight against each other. In early 1955, her sons Zayed, Hazza and Shakhbut, who was the Ruler of Abu Dhabi at the time, helped to arrange her to return to Abu Dhabi on board a Gulf Air plane. She is stated to have died in October 1970, while Zayed was the Ruler.
