Sheikh Saqr bin Mohammad Al Qassimi (c. 1918–1920[a] – 27 October 2010) was the Emir of Ras Al Khaimah, one of the United Arab Emirates, from 1948 to 2010.
He became the Ruler of Ras Al Khaimah on 17 July 1948,[1] when he overthrew his uncle and father-in-law Sheikh Sultan bin Salim Al Qassimi in a bloodless coup d'etat. Saqr exiled Sultan to Sharjah. Under his rule, Ras Al Khaimah joined the United Arab Emirates in 1972. At the time of his death in 2010, he was the world's oldest reigning monarch at age ~90.
Sheikh Saqr's ancestral line goes back to Rahma Bin Matar Bin Kayid, founder of the Al Qasimi dynasty, which ruled the northern part of the Greater Oman Region following the fall of the Ya’aribah state.
