Muhammad Ali, Prince of the Sa'id

Muhammad Ali, Prince of the Sa'id (الأمير محمد على، أمير الصعيد ; born 5 February 1979) is the heir apparent to the defunct thrones of Egypt and the Sudan, as the elder son of the former monarch, King Fuad II.

Life and family
Muhammad Ali was born on 5 February 1979 in Cairo, Egypt. He is the elder son of Fuad II, who was deposed while he was still a baby and was raised in exile, and his former wife, (née Dominique-France Loeb-Picard). Muhammad Ali is also the grandson of King Farouk and Queen Narriman.

At the request of his father, Fuad II, President Anwar Sadat gave permission for his mother, Fadila, to give birth in Egypt. As a result, Muhammad Ali became the first member of the direct branch of the Royal Family of Egypt to return to the country after the coup of 1953.

Prince Muhammad Ali was raised and educated between Europe and Morocco, attending Institut Le Rosey in Switzerland. He works in real estate in Paris.

He is also spending time in Egypt, particularly since the Egyptian state recognizes the historical heritage of the Muhammad Ali dynasty.

Mohamed Ali has a sister, Fawzia Latifa, born in Monaco on February 12, 1982, and a brother, Fakhr-Eddin, born in Rabat, Morocco on August 25, 1987.
