Biography 

On 18th November 1940, the ancient city of Salalah whispered in the ears of close associates that a blessed birth had taken place in one of its noble houses. Oman had just received a child, his bright eyes shining with good omens, carrying the glorious future of the Sultanate in his hands. 

The birth was not at first widely reported in Oman; only close relatives and servants knew about it.However, the news soon spread throughout the country as poets came to congratulate Sultan Said bin Taimur on the arrival of his newly born son.The birth of Sultan Qaboos was perhaps the most significant contribution of his father’s reign – an invaluable gift for the entire nation.

His Majesty Sultan Qaboos bin Said (may Allah protect him!) was born in an era where such a great person was desperately needed.Sultan Said bin Taimur chose to give his son one of the oldest and almost unknown names, a name of that would be etched with honour and pride in the history of Oman and the world … Qaboos!

Salalah can be proud to be the birthplace of the great Sultan Qaboos. Among its kind people, young Qaboos began to learn how to read and write. His Majesty was brought up in Salalah and became a great, noble man who transformed the history of Oman. When he came to the throne he put an end to the country’s isolation and enabled it to communicate actively with other Arab and Muslim countries. A highly-skilled change leader, Sultan Qaboos spearheaded his country’s development, successfully combining Oman’s great history and heritage with modern methods, tools and technology.

Thanks to this great man’s selfless, tireless efforts, Oman now stands proudly with other nations on the world stage, and has become a well-respected member of the global community.

His Majesty is the 8th Sultan of Oman in the direct sequence of the Al Bou Saids, a family that was founded by Imam Ahmad bin Said in 1744 AD.

Sultan Qaboos Global Vision

''Our foreign policy is based on certain fundamental principles which we have not deviated from since the dawn of the Blessed Renaissance. These principles spring from our conviction that one should strive towards the goals which bring benefits and peace for all, that one should support just causes at international gatherings, and that one

should strengthen the ties of co-operation with our brothers in the Arab and Islamic states and our friends throughout the world. Here we should like to refer to the special nature of our relations with the Gulf Co-operation Council states.''

The International Peace Award

Peace has been essence of the Omani policy in terms of strategy and approach since His Majesty Sultan Qaboos bin Said came to throne at the start of the modern Omani Renaissance.Adoption of such a peaceful approach is based on the fact that the construction and national development and establishment of a modern state requires the provision of essential requirements which are topped by a locally, regionally and internationally suitable climate.  Bearing in mind peace is indivisible, it is highly esteemed by His Majesty Sultan Qaboos bin Said of Oman. Therefore, peace is the center of moderate Omani policies at Gulf, regional and international levels.Thanks to the instructions of His Majesty and his deep belief in peace, the Sultanate of Oman enjoys the ability and courage not only to express with utmost clarity and openness its attitudes and point of view regarding different situations and developments on the Gulf, Arab and international levels, but Oman also worked hard to put this into practice in its relations with other countries.
