The Order of Al-Said (Wisam Al-Sa'id) is the highest order of Oman.

History

[edit]

The Order of Al-Said (originally Wisam ud-Daula al-Saidi al-Omaniya) was instituted in 1913 by Faisal bin Turki, Sultan of Muscat and Oman. The order had different grades which fell in disuse over the years. Sultan Qaboos reformed the old order of knighthood in 1982 to bring it to a one-grade order. The new name is "Wisam Al-Sa'id".
