Chasing the sun

The continued influx of celebrities to Dubai has inspired more winter holiday bookings to the emirate, according to British Airways (BA).

Among the famous folks spotted recently enjoying the sun here have been singer Rita Ora (pictured), TV presenter Denise Van Outen and model Nell McAndrew.

“With temperatures in Europe near freezing, it’s no surprise that we’ve seen a rise in bookings for warmer destinations,” said Paolo de Renzis from BA. “With celebrities posting enticing pictures on holiday in the warmer climes of Dubai, it seems this is all the incentive needed for people to book themselves a warm getaway.”
