Snapped: Celebrities spotted in the UAE this week

Roger Federer celebrates his 100th title win, Lost Frequencies spins at Penthouse and Pierce Brosnan drinks his own face…

With so many A-listers (and B, C and D-listers) visiting the glittering emirate every day, it can be hard to keep track of who was spotted where.

So in case you were wondering who to keep an eye out for at The Dubai Mall, we’ve put together a list of some of the famous faces spotted in Dubai and the UAE this week…

Roger Federer

Tennis legend Roger Federer celebrated his 100th ATP tour title win in Dubai over the weekend, as he won the Dubai Duty Free Tennis Championship for the 8th time in 69-minutes. In the process, he collected prize money of around Dhs1.92 million beating finalist Stefanos Tsitsipas 6-4, 6-4.

Pierce Brosnan

Former James Bond Pierce Brosnan has made no secret of the fact that he’s in the UAE. In fact, the actor has been sure to keep us updated every step of the way as filming for his new movie ‘The Misfits’ continues – and we’ve been loving it. From trips to the Louvre Abu Dhabi to camel trekking in the desert, swimming with rays at Atlantis The Palm and even drinking coffee with his own face on, we can’t wait to see these scenes play out when the film is released.

Lost Frequencies

It was a short but sweet trip for Felix De Laet, aka Lost Frequencies. The Belgian DJ flew in to play a set at the colourful Thursday night party at FIVE Palm Jumeirah, before jetting out the very next day. He did make time to post this snap, simply captioned ‘Dubai rooftop parties’, before he left.

Jane Hawking

Author Jane Hawking is part of an impressive line-up of more than 140 authors in town for the Emirates Literature Festival taking place over the next few days. The second day of the festival concluded with a screening of the 2014 biographical romantic drama ‘The Theory of Everything’, accompanied by a Q&A from Dr. Jane Hawking, wife of the late Stephen Hawking, answering everyone’s burning questions.
