Premier Ewart Brown was due to meet yesterday with the Crown Prince of Saudi Arabia — owner of Elbow Beach Hotel — in the Middle Eastern country.

A press release issued by the Premier's Office last night said he and wife Wanda would be in Saudi Arabia until today (Friday), when they will leave for the States.

On Tuesday, they were the official honoured guests at the third annual Khalediah horse show hosted by Crown Prince Khaled bin Sultan bin Abdul Aziz Al Saud outside Riyadh.

Dr. Brown said: "Wanda and I were honoured to have been invited by His Royal Highness to this important event. Prince Khaled reminded us of his long association with Bermuda and seemed excited about the future of Elbow Beach."
