His Majesty the Sultan




Qaboos bin Said was born in Salalah in Dhofar on 18 November 1940, the only son of Sultan Said bin Taimur, the then ruler of the country. He spent the first 16 years of his life in Salalah, where he was educated, until his father sent him to a private educational establishment in England.

He was educated at Bury Saint Edmunds, Suffolk, England, and at Sandhurst, the Royal Military Academy, in Berkshire. At the age of 20, as an officer cadet. After passing out of Sandhurst, he joined a British Infantry battalion on operational duty in Germany for one year, followed by a staff appointment with the British Army. After military service, Qaboos studied local government in England and went on a world tour before returning to Oman in 1964. The following six years were spent in Salalah studying Islam and the history of his country and people. However, during this time, the Qaboos became aware of the poverty of his people and the poor standards of living to which they were subjected.

The Royal Naitional Anthem of Oman :

"O lord , protect for us His Majesty the Sultan

And the people in our land, With honour and peace.

May his leadership be glorious.

For him we shall lay down our lives.

O Oman, since the time of the Prophet

We are a loyal people amongst the noblest Arabs.

Rejoice

Qaboos has come.

May Heaven bless him.

Be joyful and commend him to the protection of our prayers."
