Muhammad Ali, Prince of the Sa'id (Arabic: الأمير محمد على، أمير الصعيد [mæˈħæm.mæd ˈʕæli]; 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.

[2][1] He is the elder son of Fuad II, who was deposed while he was still a baby and was raised in exile,[1] and his former wife, Fadila (née Dominique-France Loeb-Picard).

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.
