Zawawi Trading Company, the authorized general distributor of Mercedes-Benz in the Sultanate of Oman, launched a new season for the iconic Mercedes-Benz CLS in suitably spectacular fashion recently, hosting a stunning event aboard a luxury mega yacht in the Gulf of Oman.
The CLS four door coupé made fashionable jaws drop when it first debuted in 2003, and quickly established itself as the ultimate must-have style statement for drivers across Oman and the Middle East. The glittering new CLS launch event, which also celebrated the 125 years of innovation for Mercedes-Benz, was attended by upto 150 VIP guests - including senior Zawawi and Mercedes-Benz representatives, government officials, customers, and local business leaders.
Guests were welcomed by regally clad Arabian horses and riders as they boarded the MV Loaloat Al Behar – or ‘Pearl of the Seas’ – luxury mega yacht moored in Port Sultan Qaboos, before enjoying sumptuous drinks, canapés and a sunset cruise of Muscat’s majestic coastline in the Gulf of Oman. The new CLS was dramatically unveiled by the event host Waleed Bin Omar Zawawi.
Guests were then treated to a luxurious slice of ceremonial cake to celebrate the new CLS, and the one and a quarter century birthday of the German luxury automotive manufacturer.
