Oman – Sultans

In 1932 Said bin Taimur became the Sultan of Oman and at that time, the country was named, Sultanate of Muscat and Oman.  

Then, in 1970, with the help of the British, his only son, Qaboos bin Said al-Said, staged a coup against him, and he became the next Sultan.  

Qaboos bin Said remained the Sultan of the country until his death by cancer on the 10th of January 2020.  

His cousin Haitham bin Tariq al Said is the current Sultan.
