SultanTurki bin Said bin Sultan Al Busaidi (Arabic: تركي بن سعيد بن سلطان البوسعيدي; 1832 – 4 June 1888), was Sultan of Muscat and Oman from 30 January 1871 to 4 June 1888. He acceded following his victory over his cousin, Iman Azzan bin Qais at the Battle of Dhank.[1] On Turki's death, he was succeeded by his second son, Faisal bin Turki.
In 1861, he revolted against his brother, Thuwaini bin Said, who had succeeded his father as Sultan of Oman. The division of Muscat and Zanzibar meant that Sohar would be under the authority of Thuwaini which Turki refused to accept. He was imprisoned and Salim bin Thuwaini was appointed as the new Wali of Sohar. The British authorities intervened and Thuwaini was released from prison in 1862.[3] After Salim killed his father and took the throne in 1866, Turki was again imprisoned and subsequently released due to British intervention. He was given an annuity of 7,200 thalers and moved to BombayinBritish India.[4]
