MENAFN- Khaleej Times) With its luxury quotient, the tag of a fashion hub and the attractions it offers, Dubai is unsurprisingly a preferred destination among international celebrities to take a mini-break.
While many just sneak into the city for a stop-over without sharing their adventures, there are few who splash their social media pages with pictures in Dubai. If you keep an eyeout at the buzzing night hotspots, cafes, luxury brand outlets, you can catch a glimpse of your favourite celebrity.
