Sultan Qaboos Bin Said




Qaboos Bin Said, the person who leads our country, is the Sultanate of Oman. His family ruled Oman more than two hundred and fifty years and he is the 8th ruler from his family who rules Oman. He began to rule Oman in 1970 when he was thirty years old. In two weeks, on November 18th, he will be seventy years old. He was born on November 18th, 1940. He completed his elementary and high school in Salalah, a city in the south of Oman and where he was born. After that, his father sent him to England to study in the Royal Military Academy at Sandhurst. After his graduation from the university, he went to Germany to study how to rule the country. Then he returned to Oman. When he returned to Oman, his father decided to take him on a journey around the world in three months because he wanted from him to see and learn how the leaders rule their country and to have some experiences. After three months, he returned to Oman and he started to read about his country’s history. Nowadays, riding horses is one of his hobbies because when he was four years old, his father put him on a horse. Also, he likes to read and takes photos. In conclusion, in my opinion, people should read about Sultan Qaboos because he is one of ten famous leaders in the world.
