'''Qaboos bin Said bin Taimur Al Busaid''' was born on 18 November 1940 in the city of Salalah, [[Oman]]. His official title in Arabic was His Majesty Sultan Qaboos bin Said Al Said (meaning: His Majesty Sultan the Great Qaboos, son of Said, of the Said family). The Al Busaid royal dynasty was founded in 1741 AD by Imam Ahmad bin Said. Imam Ahmad bin Said holds a special status among Omanis; as after a series of long wars, by overcoming the rebels, he was able to establish security and order throughout [[Oman]].

== Education ==
Sultan Qaboos spent the initial stages of education and his childhood in his birthplace, the city of Salalah, and then at the age of 16, by order of his father Sultan Said bin Taimur, was sent to [[England]]. He studied for two years at the Royal Military Academy Sandhurst. Then he spent one year as a member of the British Army in Germany. Qaboos's education was completed again by passing a one-year private tutoring course in England, and he returned to Oman in late 1964 AD.
Qaboos bin Said in 1970 AD (1349 SH) removed his father Sultan Said bin Taimur Al Busaid from power in a quiet and bloodless coup, and after sending him into exile; he ascended the throne in his father's place and took the title Sultan Qaboos bin Said; Sultan of Oman.
As soon as he came to power, he moved from Salalah to Muscat. Sultan Qaboos's father also died in 1972 AD. Sultan Qaboos bin Said had no wife or children during his lifetime.

== Reign ==
[[Sultan Qaboos]] guided [[Oman]], which was severely underdeveloped and isolated from the world at the beginning of his reign, towards economic progress. Using currency resources from oil revenues and tourism, he created infrastructure and built housing, schools, and ports. He also used these resources to accumulate immense personal wealth, to the extent that according to Western publications, he was counted among the ten wealthiest monarchs in the world. At the same time, he was considered one of the most popular among his people. Class and social gaps in Oman are at a more limited level compared to many Arab countries, and the modernization process has not been accompanied by severe social damages and deprivations. Modernization of the Oman education system has had significant achievements, and access to education in this country for 2.6 million people (1.9 million natives and 700,000 foreigners) has become accessible. The government allocates one-quarter of its budget annually to educational affairs. In terms of legal equality between women and men, Oman is more advanced than all Arab countries in the region.

== Political and Social Activities ==
Overall, Sultan Qaboos pursued a kind of stability accompanied by conservative reforms in the social and political arena, and despite his absolute power, he showed cooperation and alignment with limited demands that formed here and there in the conservative Omani society so that the country's "stability" and throne would not face crisis. This same behavior during the Arab Spring, which also led to limited tensions within Oman, caused the country to overall pass the crisis with limited effects and consequences.

Most of Sultan Qaboos's promises to improve the economic situation and create government jobs have been somewhat implemented, but the promise of converting the absolute monarchy to a constitutional monarchy has more or less remained on paper. In fact, both negative developments in other Arab Spring countries and the negligible power of opponents in Oman caused the aforementioned reforms not to be pursued much.

This is while dissatisfaction with administrative corruption and the accumulation of the country's wealth in the hands of the king's associates is increasing. The government's action in the summer of 2014 to remove subsidies on 70 items of goods and increase the price of these goods also did not leave a positive impact among the people.

The Pahlavi dynasty of Iran (after America and Britain) was the first country in the region to recognize Sultan Qaboos's government - following the coup against his father - in 1970. One year later, Sultan Qaboos bin Said Al Said, in his first visit to Iran, attended as one of the special guests at the 2500th Anniversary of the Founding of the Persian Empire celebrations in Persepolis. The main role in supporting the Omani military forces and even direct confrontation with leftist Dhofar guerrillas in the Dhofar Rebellion was upon the Iranian military forces, whereby due to the military operation of the Imperial Iranian Army in Dhofar, Iran was able to return the reins of affairs to Sultan Qaboos in 1975. Since then, according to some Arab analysts, Sultan Qaboos considers his government indebted to the Iranians who rushed to his aid in hard days.

== Relations with Iran after the Revolution ==
During the first three decades following the [[Islamic Revolution|1979 Iranian Revolution]], he never traveled to [[Tehran]]. However, his conservative orientation in foreign policy led him not to cancel the invitation for his first visit to Iran during the height of the [[2009 Iranian presidential election|2009 presidential elections]], and he traveled to Tehran amidst the protests over the election results. Qaboos's third trip to Tehran took place in September 2013, shortly after the beginning of Hassan Rouhani's presidency.

== Death ==
After the summer of 2014, following the prolongation of Qaboos's stay in Germany and his absence in Muscat even during [[Eid al-Adha]], speculation intensified regarding the likelihood of his imminent death due to [[colorectal cancer|colon cancer]]. He had no children or brothers to succeed him. It is said that there is an undeclared agreement that no one should speak about the Sultan's succession, as whenever such talk occurs, factionalism immediately arises and conflict for power begins. Qaboos had the longest reign among other rulers of Arab countries. Eventually, Sultan Qaboos bin Said, the Sultan of Oman, died on 10 January 2020 (21 Dey 1398) at the age of 79, and his cousin, named "[[Haitham bin Tariq]]", was chosen as the new Sultan of Oman.
