Peter Hellyer, a noted historian who chronicled the history of UAE, passed away at 75.

Social media is loaded with the homages messages , and many high-ranking UAE officials recalled Hellyer’s notable contributions from many decades. Chancellor of the UAE University Zaki Nusseibeh confirmed that the iconic historian passed away at Cleveland Hospital in Abu Dhabi after struggling with an illness. 

1975 Hellyer first came to the UAE as a documentary filmmaker and worked in several public communications departments. He was also the managing editor of the daily Emirates News. 

Salem bin Khalid Al Qassimi, Minister of Culture and Youth, expressed his condolences: “Today, we lost Peter Hellyer,  a great historian who dedicated 50+ years to the environmental and archeological heritage of the UAE, notably in Sir Bani Yas. His commitment to this land will inspire us to preserve our environment, monuments, and history. His legacy will endure”. 

Moreover, Hellyer was also involved in excavating the 1,400 – year – old monastery on Sir Bani Yas Island. 

The UAE’s ambassador to the UK, Mansoor Abulhoul, also spoke of Hellyer’s ‘immeasurable contribution. ‘ He added, “deeply saddened by the loss of Peter Hellyer, a true friend of the UAE, whose legacy will remain imprinted in our hearts. His immeasurable contribution to our national narrative and pivotal role in our media landscape is a testament to his love for the UAE”. 

Last year following the death of Queen Elizabeth, Hellyer spoke in an interview with Khaleej Times about the relations between the UAE and the UK. He also worked as the former chairman of the Emirates Natural History Group. He authored countless articles on the heritage of the UAE, history, and wildlife, as well as several government yearbooks.
