Said bin Taimur (13 August 1910 – 19 October 1972; Arabic: ???? ?? ??????; Balochi: Saíd bin Temúr) was the 13th Sultan of Muscat and Oman (the country was later renamed Oman) from 10 February 1932 until he was deposed on 23 July 1970 by his son Qaboos bin Said. He was a member of the House of Al Said who in 1932 became the Sultan of Muscat and Oman, succeeding his father Taimur bin Feisal who had abdicated for financial reasons.
The 21 year old Said inherited an administration that was in debt.
He consolidated power, with the help of the British SAS, and regained control of the tribal interior, bringing together Muscat and Oman.
Once the country was united, Said left the capital of Muscat and resided in a coastal town in Dhofar.
Muscat and Oman became fully sovereign and independent states in 1951 with him as ruler.
