Salim bin Thuwaini, Sultan of Muscat and Oman
- Salim bin Thuwaini, Sultan of Muscat and Oman
Sayyid Salim bin Thuwaini Al-Said (Arabic: سيّد سالم بن ثويني آل-سعيد ) was Sultan of Muscat and Oman (February 11, 1866 - October 1868). He was the son of Sultan Thuwaini bin Said. His rule was short-lived due to the manner of his accession which was then widely believed to be by killing his father at the Sohar fort with a double-barrel pistol. Opposition grew rapidly and the instability of the situation brought a further weakening of Oman's position which was already suffering due to the Zanzibar Sultanate refusing to pay their annual fee and the Persians terminating the Omani lease of Bandar Abbas before renewing it at a greatly increased rent. After less than two years, Sultan Salim was forced to leave Oman when Azzan bin Qais led his followers in a rapid series of attacks on the Barkaa, Muttrah and Muscat forts. In 1873, during the reign of his uncle Sultan Turki bin Said, Salim tried to stage a come-back in Oman. However by that point, the British had formally recognized Turki as the Sultan of Oman and "HMS Daphne" arrested Salim sending him into exile in Hyderabad where he died on December 7, 1876.
