Marbella Remember[s] King Fahd.

Fahd bin Abdul Aziz al-Saud. 1923 – August 1, 2005. He was the king and prime minister of Saudi Arabia and leader of the House of Saud.

Everyone has a favourite Fahd story. Mine was that day he cast a glance eye over Marbella’s Hotel Don Pepe. He sent a secretary to enquire how much would the owners want for the hotel.

The answerable was politely told the hotel was not for sale. The secretary replied: “Everyone has a price when in comes to the king”. But not that time.

It was one of the very few occasions that Fahd was rejected. But his love affair with Marbella was not dimmed. He told a local journalist that he liked the town “because it is part of a land blessed by Allah”, referring to the time when the area had been occupied by the Arabs from the 8th to the 13th century.

King Fahd’s Palace.

From the hotel Incosol just outside Marbella, Fahd directed the construction of his Marbella property, Mar Mar Palace, modelled on the White House…

What significance do you think Muslims see in the Obama’s visit to Marbella?
