Sultan Ghalib II bin Awadh al-Qu'aiti (born 7 January 1948)[1] was sultan of Qu'aiti, in modern Yemen, and the current head of the al-Qu'aiti household. He reigned from 11 October 1966 until the monarchy was ousted by communists on 17 September 1967.[1]

Ghalib was born in London, United Kingdom,[2] and is the eldest son of his predecessor, Sultan Awadh bin Saleh.[3][1] His coronation took place 10 June 1967.[4] After his forced abdication, Ghalib married Sultana Rashid Ahmed on 7 June 1975, with whom he has fathered one son, Saleh (born 1977) and two daughters, Fatima and Muzna (born 1979 and 1980 respectively).[1]

During his later years, he has authored a number of papers and books on Islam and Arab history,[5] including The Holy Cities, the Pilgrimage and the World of Islam (2008).[6]
