Death

He was heir presumptive to Sa'id Pasha. However, in 1858, a special train conveying Ahmad Rifaat Pasha was being carried on a car float across the Nile at Kafr el-Zayyat.[2] The train fell off the car float into the river where the prince drowned.[2]

Sa'id outlived Ahmad Rifaat until 1863, when he was succeeded by Isma'il Pasha.
