BODRUM, Turkey:  Saudi Prince Al-Waleed Bin Talal bin Abdulaziz al-Saud is currently vacationing in Turkey, and attracting media attention for having one of the expensively luxurious holidays.  

Prince Al-Waleed bin Talal bin Abdulaziz Al Saud and several family members, friends and guards were spotted riding bicycles in the Aegean resort of Bodrum last week.

The Prince, 62, who is worth an estimated £17.7bn according to Forbes, wore only bright yellow shorts, matching shoes and a pair of sunglasses as he pedalled through the tourist hot spot.

The yacht, called Kingdom 5KR, is 282ft long, accommodates 22 guests and 31 crew, and has a helicopter, swimming pool and cinema screen.

The Prince bought the yacht in 1991 for $40million, and renamed it Kingdom 5KR after his investment company Kingdom Holdings, his lucky number 5 and the initials of two of his children.
