In pics: The celebrities spotted in the UAE this week
With the Dubai Duty Free Tennis Championships going on at the moment, we felt it’d be cheating to throw in too many tennis players into this week’s round-up (so we just popped in the most famous of them all). But actually there’s been a real mix of people passing through the city this week, from DJs to royalty, to athletes and Bollywood stars.
