Dubai is quickly becoming the mini-break and stopover favourite for 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 a bunch of fashion icons, a famous musician or two and of course – the Comic Con celebs…

Tommy Hilfiger

The man behind the brand himself stopped by Dubai for a retail meeting, and he clearly loves this city. He captioned this snap: “Such a remarkable place. Every time I come I’m in awe.”

Tinie Tempah

Dapper rapper Tinie Tempah was in the city to play a concert at White Dubai on April 7. And of course, like every other rapper who visits, he had to stop by this private zoo.

And she reached out to Dubai philanthropists while she was here…

We are SO excited to announce that thanks to the success of our event yesterday and the generosity of @Burberry, for anyone shopping this WEEK at their store at the #MallOfEmirates who mentions to the sales person #ESF (this is important) a percentage will go to @ElisasednaouiFoundation. Please friends and supporters living in #Dubai this is an occasion for you to help, and be a living part our action. With 150$ we can fund one student through a whole year of our programs in #Egypt and with 260$ we can train an adult who can train hundreds of other adults in Arabic in the whole MENA region. Please take pictures of yourselves wearing your new purchases and use hashtag #BurberryME. I would love to see what you got and I will be reposting on social media!!! There are so many items, women, man, kids, accessories. #MyDubai

Nick Frost

One of Britain’s best loved actors and comedians, Nick Frost is best known for his ‘Cornetto trilogy’ of films – including Shaun of the Dead, Hot Fuzz and At World’s End. The man himself was spotted down at Comic Can (sans Simon Pegg, unfortunately) doing meet and greets and signings. He was as friendly and funny as you’d hope he’d be.
