A lavish superyacht that goes by the name 'Yalla', worth 73 million dollars and linked to Egyptian billionaire and Aston Villa FC owner Naguib Sawiris has been spotted just off the coast of St Julian’s, turning heads as it cruised through Maltese waters.

Naguib Sawiris, known for his vast business empire spanning telecommunications, media, and tourism, is one of Egypt’s wealthiest individuals, with a net worth estimated at over $3 billion. While it’s unclear if the billionaire himself is on board, his yacht’s presence has certainly sparked curiosity among locals and yacht enthusiasts alike.

Sawiris isn’t just a business mogul – he’s also well-known in the sports world as the owner of Aston Villa Football Club, making the sighting that little bit more exciting!

Did you see the yacht?
