Snapped: Celebrities spotted in the UAE this week

Who’s hopped over to the city for some winter sun?

Dubai is the mini-break and stopover favourite for the world’s rich and famous.

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…

Sunny Leone

Actress Sunny Leone has been in the UAE for a few days to launch her new make-up line. She’s been sure to keep her 17.2 million Instagram followers up to date with her travels, including sharing pics from her launch events in both Dubai and Abu Dhabi.

Ruby Rose

Although not immediately clear where she was headed, Australian actress and model Ruby Rose boarded a first-class flight from Hungary early this morning.
