Kim Kardashian set to visit UAE next week

As any fan of her show Keeping Up With The Kardashians will know, Kim Kardashian lives a non-stop life. Things will be no different during her visit to the UAE next week, the man responsible for bringing the reality star here has revealed, as Kardashian already has a packed schedule of events and visits in Dubai and Abu Dhabi during her five-day visit here.

Sheeraz Hassan, who is opening the first non-US outpost of his Millions of Milkshakes chain with Kardashian, said she and her mother, Kris Jenner, who is travelling with the star, want to go to Burj Khalifa, see the Dubai Fountain and ride camels while they are in the country.

"We've told Kim about the spectacular view from At The Top, and Kim is also looking forward to seeing the Dubai Fountain at The Dubai Mall. With a week to go, both Kim and Kris have been Googling the Emirates to find out more - they are genuinely excited," said Hassan. "Over the last two years Kim's had around 30 to 40 requests to come to Dubai and Abu Dhabi but she's turned them down. So I sat down with Kim and her mum and I gave them an explanation about the people and the culture. Kim and Kris are both so excited to visit the UAE and have given me a long list of sights they would like to see."

Like her reality star rival Paris Hilton, Kardashian be followed by a camera crew during her time in the UAE. "My E! show will be following us to Dubai and the whole experience of coming [to] this country and seeing Dubai for the first time," said Kardashian in an earlier interview.

"It's important to us at Millions of Milkshakes and Emirates Hospitality that we show her the very best that Dubai has to offer. Her E! crew will be following her every move, so we feel a responsibility to make sure that her trip reflects the UAE as it really is, a multi-cultural, thriving, tolerant and cosmopolitan country," adds Hassan.

After opening Millions of Milkshakes at Dubai Mall on October 14 with her own original concoction, Kardashian will be feted with a celebratory dinner at At.Mosphere, a restaurant on the 122 floor of the Burj Khalifa, which was confirmed as the world's tallest building by the Guinness Book of Records earlier this week.

But it's not all work, as Kardashian has tweeted that she'll be staying at the Atlantis hotel on the Palm while here. "Kim and Kris arrive on the morning of Wednesday 12th October, and I want them to feel rested after such a long flight from the States, so we are giving them a day to enjoy the Atlantis resort and the beautiful weather. Kim has been asking if she can ride a camel when she's here, so I've arranged a trip to the desert for them both to experience traditional Dubai later in her stay."On October 15, her last day in the country, Kardashian will move to the capital where she'll have dinner at an Arabic restaurant, Al Han.

Meanwhile, Kardashian's twitter request for a "local Emirati" to teach her some Arabic seems to have paid off: on Thursday she tweeted her first words in the language. "Salaam ya Abu Dhabi wa Dubai Inshallah see you at http://millionsofmilkshakes.ae @TheDubaiMall on October 14 Kuno Maana Wa Anaa Beintidarkom," or "[Hello Abu Dhabi and Dubai, God willing] see you at http://millionsofmilkshakes.ae @TheDubaiMall on October 14 [Be with us I am one of you]".

Sadly she'll be leaving before her new favourite movie star hits town: apparently she's been watching Shah Rukh Khan movies sent to her by Hassan. "Sheeraz.com just sent me some Bollywood Movies starring Shahrukh Khan. Can't wait to watch them!!!," she tweeted last Saturday. Khan hits Dubai for the world premiere of his film RA.One on October 24.
