Very old pictures taken in Muscat.

On searching, it looks like Hylocereus costaricensis.
Flowers blooming in the evening.
I have seen this plant in MNP, Mumbai too.
Experts kindly validate.

I was suggesting the id from the link https://davesgarden.com/guides/pf/showimage/199405/


Your plant looks like one of the Cereus. Do a Google for Cereus. 


Thanks … for the suggested id.
I believe it’s the same one in FOI as per the link…..

Just a guess
