Sayyid Tariq bin Taimur Al Said (Arabic: طارق بن تيمور آل بو سعيد; 30 June 1921 – 28 December 1980) was a member of the Omani royal family and the first prime minister of the Cabinet of Oman. Tariq was the son of Sultan Taimur bin Feisal (r. 1913–1932), brother of Sultan Said bin Taimur (r. 1932–1970), and father of Sultan Haitham bin Tariq (r. since 2020).
Early life[edit]
Tariq was the son of Sultan Taimur bin Feisal and his third wife, Kamile İlgiray, a Circassian woman.[1] Tariq had four brothers, Said, Majid, Fahr and Shabib, and one sister, Buthaina.
Marriages and children[edit]
Tariq married three times and had a total of nine children.
He married firstly to Sayyida Shawana bint Hamud bin Ahmad Al Busaidiyah and had six children.[1]

His third wife, Helen, was a German national, and the couple had no children together.[1]
Three of Tariq's sons were likely candidates to succeed Sultan Qaboos.[4] Asa'ad bin Tariq became Deputy Prime Minister for Relations and International Cooperation Affairs[5] as well as representative to the Sultan. Shihab was a commander in the Royal Navy of Oman. Haitham served as Minister of Heritage and Culture.[6] After Sultan Qaboos died on 11 January 2020, Haitham was named as his successor.[7]
Career[edit]
Tariq was critical of the rule of his brother, Sultan Said bin Taimur, and in 1958 he was forced into exile. He settled in West Germany and worked as the representative of a construction firm in the Middle East.[8]
In 1970, Tariq's brother was overthrown by his son, Sultan Qaboos bin Said. Tariq's nephew Qaboos brought him back from exile and appointed him as the first prime minister of the Cabinet of Oman. Tariq held the position for two years until 1972. He was also the chairman of Central Bank of Oman from 1975 to 1976.[4]
