Saudi Prince El-Velid bin Telal bin Abdülaziz el Suud and his
family have come to Bodrum for a vacation with a 150-person
entourage and 300 suitcases.  The prince arrived on board his
private jumbo-jet and is staying in a 40K euro-per-night villa in
the Türkbükü section of Bodrum.


               He's not one to 'travel light'.

Prince El-Velid stopped by the Palmarina shopping center- yacht
club last night in Yalakavak.  The prince and his family will be
staying in Bodrum for six days.  His 5-story ultra-luxurious yacht,
the Kingdom KR5, is anchored off Türkbükü awaiting his orders.
