[edit] History
The Lower Aulaqi sultans separated from the Upper Aulaqi in the 18th century. In the late 19th century, the area came under British influence and eventually became a constituent of the Aden Protectorate. The Upper Aulaqi Sultanate joined the Federation of South Arabia in June 1964. The last sultan was Sultan Awad ibn Salih Al Awlaqi.
