Al Raya (originally Dilbar, then Ona), is a motor yacht built in 2008 by Lürssen. She was originally built for Russian oligarch Alisher Usmanov and named Dilbar, after Usmanov's mother.[1] The ship has an overall length of 110.0 m (360.9 ft) and a beam of 16.3 m (53 ft).

After another, larger yacht also named Dilbar had been built for Usmanov in 2016, the original Dilbar was renamed to Ona and put up for sale.[2] In 2018, the yacht had reportedly been sold to a Middle Eastern buyer and has been renamed Al Raya.[3] The new owners are the Royal Family of Bahrain.[4]

Al Raya's exterior was designed by Tim Heywood and her interior by Alberto Pinto.[5]
