One of the most famous superyachts around the fabulous Kingdom 5KR. I think almost everyone knows her under her first name Nabila when she was owned by Adnan Kashoggi. When Kashoggi's al his money invested on the wrong side of the casino she came in hands of the Sultan of Brunei. He sold her for about $ 29mil. (a bargain) to Donald Trump. Donald Trump called her the Trump Princess. He made a deal with Amels for her refit and after the refit she went to New York. After that she went to Atlantis City were she used as a 'casino'. The big gamblers were invited to gamble on board.Prince Alwaleed, who holds dual citizenship in Saudi Arabia and Lebanon, had his yacht painted a shade of beige reportedly to mimic the color of sand. While he’s famous for taking his yacht to Cannes every summer, he’s also famous for being one of the world’s most aggressive investors in the stock market; in fact, Time magazine dubbed him the “Arabian Warren Buffett” in the 1990’s. Even though he can still afford to give away millions each year to various causes and afford a lavish lifestyle, traveling aboard his own Boeing 767 and splitting time between his yacht and a huge palace in Riyadh, Prince Alwaleed has seen his portfolio suffer huge losses in recent years, with some estimates having him down $10 billion on paper. The American-educated prince has also taken a beating in the court of public opinion; when he offered then-New York Mayor Rudy Giuliani a $10-million check in 2001 after the September 11 attacks, he suggested that America revise its stand in the Middle East. (Giuliani, you may recall, eventually declined the check.)






This is the white rose of Drachs. She was built by Kusch Yachtbau and launched around the beginnig of June. Her length is 65.00 m (213.35 ft.), her beam is 12.00 m (39.35 ft.) and her draught is 4.05 m (13.30 ft.).
























This is Tueq. Tueq has a length of 71.80m (235.60 ft.) and a beam of 13.50m (44.30 ft.). She is powered by twin Wartsila 3600hp engines which give her a maximum speed of 19 knots. The brother of King Fahd, Prince Salman is believed to be her owner. He also owns the Shaf. An 52.80m (173.2 ft) CRN yacht built in 1981. Shaf is most of her time moored in Puerto Banus, Marbella, and Tueq is also seen there a couple of times. Tueq's exterior was done by De Voogt and Mike Leach and Mike Leach was alone responsible for her beautiful interior.
