Sayyid Thuwaini bin Shihab Al Said was an Omani senior member of the royal family and one of the Deputy Prime Ministers.
Thuwaini was born in 1924.[1] He was educated in Baghdad and in Bahrain. He worked in the office of Sultan Said bin Taimur from 1948 to 1955. He worked in the office of his father Sayyid Shihab bin Faisal, Governor of Muscat, from 1956 to 1970. He succeeded him as the Governor of Muscat in 1970.[1] He held the position of the governor until 1984.[2]
In October 1970 Thuwaini was appointed as a personal advisor to the Sultan Qaboos.[1] He was one of the Deputy Prime Ministers at least since 1984.[3] Since 1985 he was the personal representative of the Sultan.[1]
Thuwaini was a son of Shihab bin Faisal Al Said, who was a son of Sultan Faisal bin Turki. He was Sultan Qaboos' cousin, and was one of the most likely candidate to succeed him as Sultan.[4] However, he died in 26 June 2010.[5][6]
