Qaboos bin Said al Said is the Sultan of Oman. He came to power in 1970 - some say he overthrew his father, others that his father abdicated. He went to school in England. When he came to power the country changed its name from Muscat and Oman to the Sultanate of Oman. The political system he established is one of absolute monarchy. He has no children so someone else from the royal family will take over when he dies.
