Ali Sabri (Arabic:علي صبري,IPA:[ˈʕæliˈsˤɑbɾi]; 30 August 1920[1] – 3 August 1991)[2] was an Egyptian politician ofTurkish origin.[3]
His parents, Dewlet Shamsi (mother) and Abbas-Baligh Sabri (father) were ofTurkish-Circassian descent and belonged to the privileged class.
Ali Sabri was a grandson of nationalist Amin Shamsi Pasha, a member of the General Assembly and Provincial Council who in 1881-82 was a principal financial backer ofAhmed Urabi Pasha. Following the failure of what historian term the "Urabi Rebellion" of 1882,Khedive Tewfik imprisoned Shamsi Pasha later releasing him on a hefty bail. He resumed his seat at the General Assembly until his death.
Sabri was also a nephew ofAli Shamsi Pasha, co-founder of theWafd Party and a several-time minister during the reign ofFuad I of Egypt later to become the first Egyptian to head of theNational Bank of Egypt which acted as the country's Central Bank.[4]
One of Ali Sabri's paternal grand-uncles was Mohammed Faizi Pasha, a director-general of the Awqaf Department during the reign ofKhediveAbbas Hilmi II.
The trilingual Ali Sabri, along with his three brothers and one sister, was raised in the then-predominantly aristocratic and European Cairo suburb ofMaadi and was an active member of its Sporting Club's tennis and swimming teams.[5]

WhenGamal Abdel Nasser died in 1970,Anwar Sadat was regarded asGamal Abdel Nasser's most likely successor, but Sabri was regarded as the next most likely. BothAnwar Sadat and Sabri hadheart attacks which they survived atGamal Abdel Nasser'sfuneral.[disputed –discuss]
Sabri was the vice-president and regarded as the no. 2 figure inAnwar Sadat's government. However shortly afterAnwar Sadat came to power he was the most notable casualty ofAnwar Sadat's "Corrective Revolution", and was imprisoned.[citation needed]
Regarded as a diehard socialist, he was often criticized for his upper-class background.[citation needed] Ali Sabri died inCairo on 3 August 1991, aged 70.
