NABILA, A LEGENDARY YACHT
Built in 1980 by the Italian shipyard Benetti, the Nabila, a sumptuous 86-meter yacht, was designed for Saudi billionaire Adnan Khashoggi and ranked among the most luxurious in the world.
A veritable floating palace, it appeared in the 1983 James Bond film *Never Say Never Again*, alongside Sean Connery. Later acquired by Donald Trump, who renamed it the Trump Princess, it has belonged to Saudi Prince Al-Walid bin Talal since 1991, under the name Kingdom 5KR.
