An image grab taken from Oman TV on January 11, 2020, shows Oman's newly sworn-in Sultan Haitham bin Tariq arriving to the Grand Mosque in the capital Muscat to take part in the funeral of Sultan Qaboos, the longest-reigning leader of the modern Arab world, who died the previous night at the age of 79. Haitham bin Tarik, a sports enthusiast, was the first head of Oman's football federation in the early 80s, and held the position of undersecretary of the ministry of foreign affairs for political affairs before becoming the minister of heritage and culture in the mid-1990s.
