Royal consorts of Oman are women that have been married to the Sultan of Oman. Sultan Qaboos bin Said was unmarried for most of his reign so Oman was without a first lady for over 50 years until the accession of Sultan Haitham bin Tariq in 2020. His wife, Sayyida Ahad bint Abdullah, is the first royal consort to have an official public role.[1]
Sayyida Ahad bint Abdullah has been given the title Arabic: السيّدة الجليلة Al Sayyida Al Jalila which can be translated as The Honourable Lady, The Venerable Lady, or The Great Lady. The title was sometimes applied to Sultan Qaboos' mother, Sayyida Mazoon bint Ahmad, though she had no official role.[2] English language publications often refer to her as the First Lady of Oman while Oman's government entities use The Honourable Lady when communicating in English.[3][4]
