Said Bin Taimur of Muscat - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia |
 | | Said Bin Taimur (August 13, 1910—October 19, 1972) (Arabic: سعيد بن تيمور) was the sultan of Muscat and Oman (the country later renamed to Oman) from February 10, 1932 to July 23, 1970. |
 | | The son of Taimur Bin Feisal, he inherited the remains of an Omani Empire, which included the neighboring provinces of Oman and Dhofar, as well as the last remnants of an overseas empire, including Gwadar on the Pakistani coast--the latter was ceded to Pakistan in 1958. |
 | | The imam's revolt was suppressed in 1955 with the help of Great Britain, but this, in turn, earned Taimur the animosity of Saudi Arabia, which supported the imam, and of Egypt, which regarded British involvement in suppressing the revolt as inconducive to the cause of Arab nationalism. |
