The King Fahd Palace in Marbella
The entourage is over 100 people and many locals have gained temporary employment

The Saudi Prince, Salman Bin Abdulaziz Al-Saud, who is brother to the late King Fahd, has arrived in Marbella for a summer break.
His entourage is of more than 100 people, and dozens of locals have also been contracted into service.

Municipal sources have confirmed the prince arrived on Monday, and note that they have also taken rooms in several hotels including the Marbella Club, Puente Romano and Don Pepe.

The Saudi Royal Family has been spending its holidays in Marbella for the past 30 years, and their yacht, ‘Shaf’ can be seen in Puerto Banús.

By Diane M. Byrne

#3: PRINCE ABDULAZIZ—482’3”

King Abdullah of Saudi Arabia conducts official business aboard but also uses the yacht for relaxation, notably when Prince Abdulaziz is anchored at the royal compound in Marbella, Spain. It took 15 months just to complete the interior of this massive vessel, which reigns as the largest yacht built in the 20th century.

Should you be visiting the World famous port Puerto Banus and walk past the port office´s watch tower, you will no doubt ask who own the 2 largest yachts in the port.

Lady Haya is 65 meters,designed by super star designer Terence Disdale and althought the super yacht is from 1981, it looks like a brand new yacht.The yacht is often refitted and the ship looks absolutely faboulus.At the moment you can see the royals and their friends sitting on the top deck almost every evening.The police are everywhere in and around the port.The enormous amount off wealth on display amounts to approximately €40-45million for Lady Haya And approximately 10 million for the smaller and older Shaf, both are owned by HRH Abdullah bin Abdul Aziz al-Saud and his brothers.
They also own Prince Abul Aziz, which at 147 meters values at appoximately €50million and is to long to enter the port in Puerto Banus.But have been seen on several times in the Bay of Marbella.

Other Saudi owned super yachts include Al Salamah
