The official declaration of mourning by the Presidential Court, with flags flown at half-mast for seven days, reflects the nation's collective grief and reverence for Sheikh Tahnoun's legacy. Throughout recent years, Sheikh Tahnoun had been a familiar presence alongside the UAE President at various national events, symbolizing his dedication to serving the country and its people.

In addition to President Sheikh Mohamed bin Zayed Al Nahyan's condolences, Vice-President and Prime Minister of the UAE, Sheikh Mohammed bin Rashid Al Maktoum, expressed his sympathies to the Al Nahyan family and the nation. Sheikh Mohammed highlighted Sheikh Tahnoun's remarkable contributions and years of service to the UAE, acknowledging his enduring impact on the nation's development and prosperity. The outpouring of condolences from both the highest levels of government and the wider community underscores the profound loss felt by the UAE at the passing of Sheikh Tahnoun.
Beyond the UAE's leadership, condolences were extended by the Court of the Ruler of Sharjah, reflecting the widespread recognition of Sheikh Tahnoun's influence and significance across the Emirates. His tenure as chairman of the Abu Dhabi National Oil Company (Adnoc) and deputy chairman of the Executive Council of Abu Dhabi exemplified his leadership and vision in driving the UAE's economic growth and diversification. The renaming of the Dubai-Al Ain road in his honor in 2018 stands as a testament to his enduring legacy and contributions to the nation's infrastructure and development.
Photographs capturing Sheikh Tahnoun's interactions with the UAE's founding father, the late Sheikh Zayed, and current Crown Prince of Abu Dhabi, Sheikh Khaled bin Mohamed bin Zayed Al Nahyan, serve as poignant reminders of his enduring presence and influence within the country's leadership circles. Sheikh Tahnoun's passing marks the end of a chapter in the UAE's history, yet his legacy of service, dedication, and leadership will continue to inspire future generations and shape the nation's trajectory for years to come.
