Celebs in Dubai this week: Rappers, wrestlers and basketballers
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.
(Well, now that summer’s over and people are venturing out again).
This week the city hosted rappers, wrestlers and basketballers with hands of magic…
Lebanese superstar singer Elissa was in the city for a few days, and she was lucky enough to score a private tour of the newly opened Dubai Opera…
Seriously, how plush are the seats? The best-selling recording artist also stayed in a pretty plush pad around the Marina (looks like Grovesnor House to us):
The Harlem Globetrotters gave a little education in anti-bullying at some local schools…
The basketballing troupe also pulled some pretty sick tricks out of the bag while they were in town. (The poster in the background was so impressed it fainted).

This is the only way we’d be able to twirl a bball too:
Even the Burj Khalifa doesn’t look quite as tall next to Harlem Globetrotter Brawley Chisholm.
Socialite, stylist and reality TV star Caroline Stanbury (yes, the one from Ladies of London) moved to Dubai pretty recently, and you can’t accuse her of not making the most of it…
