Sultan of Zanzibar

Sayyid Sir Abdullah bin Khalifa Al-Said, KBE, CMG (12 February 1910 – 1 July 1963) (Arabic: عبد الله بن خليفة), was the 10th Sultan of Zanzibar after the death of his father, Sir Khalifa bin Harub, who died on 9 October 1960 at age eighty-one. He was less popular than his father and had a rough reign as Sultan, as at the time of his death both his legs had been amputated.

U.S. President John F. Kennedy had Galt & Bro, a Washington D.C. based jeweler, make a gold plaque as a gift for the Sultan; however, it was never picked up from the jeweler following the **ination of the President in 1963.

He ruled Zanzibar from 9 October 1960 to 1 July 1963. On his death, he was succeeded as Sultan by his son Jamshid.
