He is the eldest son of the sitting sultan of Oman

Crown Prince Sayyid is the eldest son of Sultan Haitham bin Tariq – a cousin of the late Sultan Qaboos bin Said, who ruled the Arabian country for almost 50 years. Celebrity Net Worth once estimated the late sultan’s net worth at a whopping US$900 million.

Unlike his predecessor, who didn’t have children, the current Sultan of Oman has four: Sayyid has one brother and two sisters. Their mother is Ahad bint Abdullah, who holds the royal title of consort of the sultan of Oman.

He is Oman’s first-ever crown prince

According to The Washington Post, Crown Prince Sayyid’s dad was appointed sultan based upon a letter left by the late Sultan Qaboos. The Omani line of succession had no direct heir to the throne after one of the longest-tenured world leaders passed away in 2020.

He has first-hand experience working for a government office

Crown Prince Sayyid, like his father, also studied abroad. He went to Oxford University and earned a bachelor’s degree in political science. According to Gulf News, the heir to the Omani throne also worked as a second secretary at the Omani embassy in Britain.

The good-looking prince recently made headlines when he graduated from the Royal Military Academy Sandhurst in the UK in July. Emirates Woman reported that the Sultan of Oman and his consort were in attendance during the ceremony.

He serves as the country’s minister of culture, youth and sports

With the sultan holding multiple government positions during his formative years, the crown prince is no stranger to public administration. He has been keeping busy as the country’s current minister of culture, youth and sports.

He got married in 2021 and received a message from a fellow crown prince

Unfortunately for some royalty onlookers, the dashing crown prince is off the market. In 2021, he tied the knot with Sayyida Meyyan, the daughter of Oman’s deputy prime minister for defence affairs.
