There’s always a famous face or two in the UAE, with Dubai in particular being a stopover favourite amongst the world’s rich and famous.

With so many A-listers (and, let’s be honest B-, C- and D-listers) visiting the glittering emirate every day, we bring you a weekly round up of who was spotted where.

This week, we’ve had YouTubers, musicians and TV stars.
