Saud bin Abdulaziz was the King of Saudi Arabia from 1953 until 1964. He was the son of Abdulaziz Ibn Saud, the founder of modern Saudi Arabia. During his reign, he focused on modernizing the country and expanding its infrastructure, including education and healthcare systems. However, his rule faced challenges, including economic difficulties and political unrest. In 1964, Saud was deposed by his half-brother, Faisal, due to concerns over his leadership and financial management. After his deposition, Saud lived in exile in Cairo and later in Athens until his death in 1969.
