"The Salute of the Sultan" (Arabic: السلام السلطاني) is the national anthem of the Sultanate of Oman. It is an ode originally dedicated to Qaboos bin Said, the former Sultan of Oman.

History

The anthem's lyrics were written by poet Rashid bin Uzayyiz al-Khusaidi. The music for it was composed at the request of Muscat's government by James Frederick Mills, a Briton, in December 1932.

In 1970, a modified version was written by the poet Hafiz bin-Salim as-Sayl al-Gasani, the adviser of the former Sultan of Oman, Qaboos bin Said. The melody was composed by Egyptian musician Mohammed Abdel Wahab.
