Top 10 Largest Superyachts Owned by Arabs

Owning a superyacht is the dream for many aspiring billionaires, but with eye-watering price tags in the hundreds of millions it is unlikely most of us will even step foot on one, let alone own one!

But for the world’s richest and most powerful Arabs, owning a superyacht is no big deal. In fact, Arab names dominate the list of owners of the world’s largest superyachts.

So get ready for some serious bling - here are the top 10 largest superyachts owned by Arabs in 2018, according to Wikipedia.

10. Katara - Sheikh Hamad bin Khalifa Al Thani

Katara is the $300 million superyacht owned by none other than the former Emir of Qatar, Hamad bin Khalifa Al Thani. Delivered to the incredibly wealthy emir in 2010, this yacht is the pinnacle of luxury. At 124m in length, it comes in at number 10 on our list.

9. Al Mirqab - Hamad bin Jassim bin Jaber Al Thani

This 133m-long superyacht is owned by Qatar’s former Prime Minister, Hamad bin Jassim bin Jaber Al Thani. This monster of the ocean reportedly holds a cinema, an indoor swimming pool and an outdoor jacuzzi.

8. Serene - Mohammed bin Salman

It will come as no surprise that Saudi crown prince Mohammed bin Salman has a yacht on this list. It was not custom built for him, rather it was built for a Russian tycoon and the crown prince couldn’t resist it, reportedly spending over $650million for it.

7. Al Salamah - Prince Sultan bin Abdul Aziz (d. 2011)

It’s not certain who owns the superyacht Al Salamah now, since the death of its owner Prince Sultan bin Abdul Aziz of Saudi Arabia. But the vessel is thought to be equipped with an onboard hospital as well as a library!

6. Yas - Hamdan bin Zayed bin Sultan Al Nahyan

This slightly odd looking superyacht is the property of Hamdan bin Zayed bin Sultan Al Nahyan, an Emirati politician and member of the royal family. It was apparently dolphin inspired, but looks a little bit more like a spaceship in water.

5. Topaz - Mansour bin Zayed Al Nahyan

Topaz is Deputy PM of the UAE Mansour bin Zayed Al Nahyan’s $525 million superyacht. At 147m, it’s one of the largest yachts in the world, and reportedly has two helipads and a swimming pool.

4. Prince Abdulaziz - Saudi King Fahad (d. 2005) / Royal Family

The Prince Abdulaziz was actually the longest motor yacht in the world for a whopping 22 years, until losing that place in 2006. It might not look the fanciest, but it can hold up to 64 guests and requires a crew of up to 65.

3. Al Said - Sultan Qaboos of Oman

At 155m, Sultan Qaboos’ yacht Al Said is currently the fifth largest in the world, and the third largest owned by an Arab. Boasting an enormous helipad, the yacht actually looks more like a cruise ship or passenger ferry than a luxury superyacht.

2. Dubai - Mohammed bin Rashid Al Maktoum

Sheikh Mohammed bin Rashid Al Maktoum’s $400 million, 162m superyacht has a startling seven decks, and a spiral staircase to help you climb up and down them!

1. Azzam - Khalifa bin Zayed Al Nahyan

Well, here we are - the number 1 spot! But not only is the 180m Azzam the largest superyacht owned by an Arab, it is also the largest superyacht in the world overall! This monster is owned by none other than Khalifa bin Zayed Al Nahyan, the President of the UAE. It is thought to have cost $600 million to build.

Well, that concludes our list! Which of these yachts would you say is the most beautiful?

Sheikh Khaled bin Mohamed bin Zayed Al Nahyan has been appointed as the Crown Prince of Abu Dhabi. The UAE President, His Highness Sheikh Mohamed bin Zayed Al Nahyan issued the Emiri decree announcing the appointment with the approval of the UAE Federal Supreme Council, the country’s highest constitutional authority that consists of Rulers of all seven Emirates. Sheikh Khaled is the eldest son of Sheikh Mohammed bin Zayed.

Member of the Abu Dhabi Executive Council and Chairman of the Abu Dhabi Executive Office, Sheikh Khalid was previously appointed as Head of National Security on February 15, 2016.

Here are some of the initiatives he has spearheaded:

Promoting youth

Dedicated to helping the youth of the UAE, he directed the launch of a new government-led career-building programme that enabled school graduates, university graduates and job seekers to gain additional skills and springboard their careers. The new programme expanded on existing upskilling initiatives that helped more than 4,000 Emiratis to get full-time jobs in 2021.

The programme includes upskilling and personalised training in high-demand areas of science, digital technology, and data analytics – as well as career coaching. It will also provide access to apprenticeships, internships, first-step careers and specialist and practical training opportunities through partners.

He is also a patron of the Frontiers in Finance, a prestigious programme designed by Yale University, which was launched in Abu Dhabi in 2021, as part of efforts to continuously expand the emirate’s knowledge economy.

The programme aims to further build the skills of Emirati talent in the financial sector and build capacity in navigating the complexities of the financial and investment sectors.

During Expo 2020, Sheikh Khaled had also toured the Youth Pavilion and praised the young Emirati team behind the design and implementation of the pavilion, which aims to connect youth from around the world.

In March this year, he visited the Emirates Skills National Competition, met with gifted young Emirati students who are receiving technical and vocational training and praised their achievements in advanced technology projects that will help shape the UAE's economic future.

Clean energy

As the Chairman of the Executive Committee of the Board of Directors of Abu Dhabi National Oil Company (Adnoc), Sheikh Khaled bin Mohamed launched a new global renewable energy and green hydrogen venture between Adnoc and Abu Dhabi National Energy Company PJSC (TAQA) in 2021.

The two energy giants will create a clean energy powerhouse, with a total generating capacity of at least 30 Gigawatts (GW) of renewable energy by 2030, that will position Abu Dhabi and the United Arab Emirates (UAE) at the forefront of the energy transition and further advance its global leadership role in green hydrogen.

Earlier, Sheikh Khaled had also launched a new clean energy partnership between Adnoc and Emirates Water and Electricity Company (EWEC), which will see up to 100% of the Adnoc’s grid power supplied by EWEC’s nuclear and solar clean energy sources.

The Dh50 billion three-year accelerator programme was launched in 2019 to focus on economy, knowledge and community. Led by its chairman Sheikh Khaled, the program has launched more than 50 initiatives in its first year with a raft of new plans to be rolled out in 2020 and 2021.

The aim of the Ghadan 21 program is to enhance Abu Dhabi’s competitiveness by investing in business, innovation and people. In 2019, a new platform called Hub71 to support high tech startups. A new Dh535 million fund, to invest in technology businesses established in Hub71 was also announced by Sheikh Khaled.

A climate lab was set up in Hub 71 during the launch of Abu Dhabi Climate Initiative, a coalition of Abu Dhabi government and government-backed partners to fast-track research and development in water and climate technology.

In response to global economic challenges in 2020 after the Covid-19 pandemic, the Abu Dhabi Executive Council launched an economic stimulus package, fast-tracking the implementation of key Ghadan 21 initiatives. Under the package, 16 initiatives have been announced to improve the ease of doing business and reduce the cost of living in the Emirate.

Promoter of sports

A keen follower of martial arts and practitioner of Jiu-Jitsu, Sheikh Khaled has been instrumental in turning Abu Dhabi into the global capital of of the sport.

In November 2022, Sheikh Khaled attended the opening ceremony of the Abu Dhabi World Professional Jiu-Jitsu Championship. He also also awarded medals to the winners of the top three spots of the Youth category during the event. Last year, he also received the athletes and members of the Jiu-Jitsu World Championship organising committee after the national team performed spectacularly at the 6th Jiu-Jitsu Asian Championships in Bahrain, finishing with 16 medals and becoming the first country in the championship’s history to take home more than 50 per cent of gold medals.

In addition to Jiu-Jitsu, Sheikh Khalid has promoted several other sports in Abu Dhabi. In 2021, he oversaw the signing of a ground-breaking multi-year partnership agreement between the Department of Culture and Tourism, Abu Dhabi and the National Basketball Association that will see Abu Dhabi host the first NBA games in the Gulf

He also personally greeted cyclists participating in the UAE Tour as they passed the historic Qasr Al Hosn in Abu Dhabi last year. The UAE Tour, organised by Abu Dhabi Sports Council, is the only World Tour race in the Middle East. In March this year, he met with members of the Abu Dhabi Youth Council’s 5th cycle (2021-2023) and welcomed the members of the 6th cycle (2023-2025), wishing them success in advancing youth empowerment and community engagement across a variety of fields.

In December 2021, he witnessed the signing of an extended 10-year agreement between Abu Dhabi Motorsports Management (ADMM) and the Formula One Group to host the Formula 1 Etihad Airways Abu Dhabi Grand Prix until 2030.

In February this year, Sheikh Khaled visited the National Identity Program for Visual Arts exhibition, a culmination of Adek’s first-ever National Identity in Visual Arts programme and features a unique and diverse collection of more than 500 artworks created by Emirati students.

The programme aims to equip UAE national students in the emirate’s private and charter schools with creative learning environments and the artistic skills to explore and express their reflections on the country’s national identity, heritage, culture, and values.

Last year, Sheikh Khaled bin Mohamed opened the House of Artisans at Al Hosn, featuring a new permanent exhibition to pay tribute to and celebrate UAE artisans.

The launch of the House of Artisans and its initiatives aims to encourage and support UAE artisans, promote their crafts, safeguard Abu Dhabi’s intangible heritage and preserve traditional crafts and practices as an intrinsic part of the UAE’s cultural identity.

He is also the patron of the Abu Dhabi art event which he inaugurated in November 2021. The event saw the participation of 49 galleries from 19 countries, representing 190 artists from around the world.

Abu Dhabi's Crown Prince Net Worth: From Opulent Palace To Luxury Yachts - Sheikh Khaled's Billion-Dollar Lifestyle

New Delhi: Abu Dhabi Crown Prince Sheikh Khaled bin Mohamed bin Zayed Al Nahyan is in India for a bilateral meeting with Prime Minister Narendra Modi. The crown prince, who landed in India on Sunday, met with PM Modi at the Hyderabad House, where the duo covered various aspects of bilateral relations and explored future areas of cooperation. The visit comes in the wake of the elevation of bilateral ties to a Comprehensive Strategic Partnership, following Prime Minister Modi’s landmark trip to the UAE in August 2015.

Who Is Abu Dhabi Crown Prince Sheikh Khaled bin Mohamed bin Zayed Al Nahyan?

Sheikh Khaled bin Mohamed is the son of Sheikh Mohamed bin Zayed bin Sultan Al Nahyan, the current president of the UAE and ruler of Abu Dhabi. He is also the grandson of Sheikh Zayed bin Sultan Al Nahyan, the founder and first president of the UAE.

Born on January 8, 1982, Sheikh Khaled bin Mohamed pursued his education at the prestigious Royal Military Academy Sandhurst in the United Kingdom, where he received training in military and strategic skills.

Sheikh Khaled has been prepared for leadership from a young age. In 2016, he was appointed head of national security and became deputy national security adviser in 2017. In March 2023, he was named Crown Prince of Abu Dhabi and Chairman of the Abu Dhabi Executive Council. Shortly thereafter, he endorsed a substantial AED 85.4 billion initiative to construct 76,000 homes for citizens over five years.

Sheikh Khaled and the Al Nahyan family are among the wealthiest in the world, with assets in sectors such as oil, real estate, and investments. The family's combined net worth is reported to be at $305 billion, largely due to their control of 97.8 billion barrels of oil reserves, as per a Bloomberg report. Additionally, the crown prince oversees one of the world's largest sovereign wealth funds, managing assets worth billions.

Major Investments

The family owns prestigious properties in Paris and London and holds a significant stake in Manchester City FC, acquired in 2008 for ₹2,122 crore. This investment also includes the City Football Group, which manages football operations for clubs like Mumbai City FC and Melbourne City FC.

In aviation, the Al Nahyan family's private jet fleet, overseen by Sheikh Mohammed bin Zayed, includes eight aircraft, such as an Airbus A320-200 and three Boeing 787-9s. Notably, Sheikh Mohammed's personal jets include a Boeing 747 valued at $478 million and a Boeing 787 worth $176 million, both featuring luxurious amenities like multiple cabins, meeting rooms, and a spa.

In maritime luxury, the Al Nahyan family owns three of the world’s ten largest yachts. The Azzam, the largest yacht globally at 180 meters, includes a golf practice room and pearl inlays. The Blue, the fourth-largest yacht, features a dance floor, beach club, and beauty salon.

Their commitment to culture is further demonstrated by the Louvre Museum in Abu Dhabi, the largest museum in the Arabian Peninsula.

Three generations of leaders from UAE leave their mark in Rajghat by planting trees

NEW DELHI: When foreign leaders visit India, they often pay homage to Mahatma Gandhi by visiting Rajghat and placing a wreath. Interestingly, the UAE has gone a step further with three generations of its leaders planting trees at Rajghat. 

On Monday, the third-generation leader planted a tree in keeping with the tradition set by his father and grandfather.

The Crown Prince of UAE Sheikh Khalid bin Mohammed bin Zayed Al Nahyan planted an Amaltas tree in Rajghat on Monday.

It may be recalled that in 1992 Sheikh Zayed Bin Sultan Al Nahyan, the founding father of UAE also planted an Amaltas tree during his visit, while in 2016 his son Sheikh Mohamed Bin Zayed Al Nahyan planted a Molshri sapling.

This marks the first time in the history of Rajghat that three generations of leaders from a single nation have planted trees honouring the legacy of Mahatma Gandhi, signifying the deep-rooted and growing relationship between India and the UAE.

"For a sustainable future, Sheikh Khaled bin Mohamed bin Zayed Al Nahyan planted a sapling in keeping with the tradition of his family. India-UAE partnership has been nurtured by generations of UAE leadership, rooted in friendship and branching into a multifaceted partnership,’’ said the Indian Embassy in the UAE.

His Highness Sheikh Khaled bin Mohamed bin Zayed Al Nahyan , Crown Prince of Abu Dhabi and Chairman of the Abu Dhabi Executive Council, today received His Highness Sheikh Tahnoon bin Mohammed Al Nahyan , the Ruler’s Representative in Al Ain , during a visit to ADNOC ’s Headquarters to review the company’s efforts in advancing the growth of the national economy.

His Highness was accompanied by Sheikh Theyab bin Tahnoon bin Mohammed Al Nahyan, and Sheikh Zayed bin Tahnoon bin Mohammed Al Nahyan. Also attending were His Excellency Dr. Sultan Ahmed Al Jaber, Minister of Industry and Advanced Technology and ADNOC Managing Director and Group CEO, and members of the company's executive management.

During his visit, His Highness Sheikh Tahnoon bin Mohammed Al Nahyan toured the ADNOC Visitor Center, which provides an immersive insight into ADNOC’s legacy and achievements, its transformation journey to a lower-carbon future and the role the company plays in enabling the UAE’s economic growth. The centre also details how ADNOC’s strategic partnerships are enabling the company to unlock and maximise value and responsibly meet global energy demand.

His Highness praised ADNOC’s transformation journey as a responsible global energy pioneer, its contribution as an engine of economic growth and diversification in the UAE and its pivotal role in strengthening the country's leadership in the global energy sector, under the directives of the UAE President His Highness Sheikh Mohamed bin Zayed Al Nahyan.

His Highness Sheikh Tahnoon bin Mohammed also commended ADNOC's employees for their role in delivering on its decarbonisation plan, responsibly contributing to meeting growing global energy demand, and establishing its leading global position as a responsible supplier of low-emission energy.

His Highness appreciated the company's focus on the use and application of advanced technologies such as carbon capture and storage in order to reduce emissions, connecting its offshore operations to clean grid power through a project which will reduce its offshore carbon footprint by up to 50%, and delivering on its plan to plant 10 million mangroves by 2030. In 2022, ADNOC planted 200,000 mangrove seeds using drone technology as part of its plan to plant 2.5 million mangrove seeds over a period of three years.

The visit to ADNOC reflects His Highness's continued interest in the success of the company he played a key role in shaping. His Highness was appointed Chairman of the ADNOC Board of Directors in 1973 and was instrumental in setting the strategic direction of the company and laying the foundations for its growth. Under the chairmanship of His Highness, ADNOC set up its operating companies and rolled out industry best practices and guidelines across the oil and gas sector to ensure safe and sustainable operations across. His stewardship of ADNOC, under the guidance of the UAE leadership, set the company on the path to its current position in the top tier of lowest carbon intensity oil and gas producers in the world.

His Highness also served as the Chairman of the Board of Directors of ADNOC Distribution in 1987 and was appointed as a member of Abu Dhabi’s Supreme Petroleum Council in 1988. He played an important role in formulating the UAE’s oil policy in the 1980s.

His Highness Sheikh Khaled bin Mohamed bin Zayed Al Nahyan praised the work of His Highness Sheikh Tahnoon bin Mohammed Al Nahyan for his role in the founding of ADNOC and in setting the company’s vision and strategic goals, which enabled the company’s significant contributions to the UAE’s economic growth and development.

H.E. Dr. Sultan Ahmed Al Jaber said: “We were honored to welcome His Highness Sheikh Tahnoon bin Mohammed Al Nahyan to ADNOC. The visit highlights the UAE leadership’s unwavering support for and wise guidance to ADNOC and its employees, which continues to be instrumental to our progress and transformation journey over the past few years. In line with the leadership's vision and directives, we continue to future-proof ADNOC, reinforce sustainability in all aspects of our business and bolster our position as a reliable and responsible global provider of lower-carbon energy as well as a key contributor to the UAE’s economic and social development.”

ADNOC has placed sustainability at the heart of its long-term strategy. The company recently accelerated its decarbonisation plan to bring forward its net zero ambition to 2045, from its previous target of 2050 as it continues on its transformational journey to a lower carbon future. The company has made an initial allocation of $15 billion (AED55 billion) towards low carbon solutions to expedite the implementation of its key decarbonisation initiatives, including carbon capture and storage, electrification, energy efficiency and nature-based solutions. Furthermore, the company has been playing a pivotal role in catalysing economic and social development in the UAE for more than 50 years.
