Qaboos bin Said - The Visionary Sultan Who Transformed Oman

Описание: Qaboos bin Said Al Said (1940–2020) was the Sultan of Oman and one of the most influential leaders in the modern Arab world. Born in Salalah, he was educated in India and later at the Royal Military Academy Sandhurst in the United Kingdom. In 1970, he overthrew his father in a bloodless coup and began a transformative reign that lasted for 50 years.
When Qaboos came to power, Oman was an isolated and underdeveloped country. He launched an ambitious modernization program known as the “Omani Renaissance,” building infrastructure, healthcare, and education systems virtually from scratch. Under his rule, Oman became a more open and stable society, while maintaining its cultural identity.
Internationally, Qaboos was known as a neutral and diplomatic leader, often acting as a mediator in regional conflicts. He kept Oman out of the broader turbulence affecting the Middle East and maintained good relations with both Western and regional powers.
Qaboos died in January 2020 without a direct heir. He was succeeded by his cousin, Haitham bin Tariq. His legacy is widely seen as one of peaceful modernization and steady leadership.
