His private jet, an Airbus 340, was seen parked at the Port Elizabeth airport yesterday.

The heavily guarded king, who was apparently only spending one night in Port Elizabeth, spent the day riding around enjoying all that the Bay had to offer.

He was spotted riding his Harley-Davidson in the Cape Recife and Willows area.

He also dropped in at the popular Sacramento restaurant at Schoenmakerskop for a cup of rooibos tea.

Then it was off for lunch at beachfront restaurant Ginger.

Manager Jacques Lombard said: “He was very pleasant person.

“All he wanted was a hamburger and his partner had a steak.

“They were nice, but their security guards were a bit over the top.

“At least they tipped well.”

While attempting to get a picture of King Abdullah as he entered the Protea Marine Hotel, a photographer from The Herald was assaulted by the bodyguards.

The guards, members of the SAPS VIP protection unit, drew handguns as they ran across the hotel‘s parking lot towards the photographer. They forced his hands behind his back, ripped the camera from his neck and pinned him against a wall.

The king plans to leave at about lunchtime today on his Garden Route adventure.

Born in 1962, Abdullah completed his education at Sandhurst Military College in the United Kingdom.

He is married to Queen Rania and the couple have two sons.

Abdullah is a keen motorcyclist and used to commute by bike when he lived in England.

He is also a helicopter pilot.

Alterations and architecture have been in the professional and sensitive hands of Tony Rumesy. Well known interior designer Alison Van Zijl who has worked on many prestigious projects in the Eastern Cape is the mastermind in design and décor of Ginger.

The kitchen design is state of the art open plan which facilitates interaction between chef and diners.  The menu design and development has been in the very capable hands of Janet Tellian, nationally acclaimed cook and restauranteur, renowned for Savoy Cabbage in Ct and Pomegranate in JHB.  Janet’s own distinctive style demands that the finest ingredients, producing the best flavours, creates great food.

It’s a fresh take on traditional dining with wider appeal taking Port Elizabeth’s expectations of restaurant experience to new heights. It’s a fusion of elegance and contemporary fine dining.

Jacques Lombard, who will be managing the restaurant, is part of the upcoming third generation of the renowned Port Elizabeth family of Lombard hoteliers.

Jacques take on the new restaurant is to ultimately combine cocktails on the deck with a superb range of vintage wines for you to select to compliment and enhance the fine dining experience. He has a passion to bridge the generation gap by creating synergy between cocktailing and fine dining and Ginger is set to fulfil this perfectly.
