Kim Kardashian has a busy few days in the UAE coming up. The reality TV star will soak up the race-day glamour when she stops by the Abu Dhabi Grand Prix this weekend, followed by the launch of her latest perfume and a special dinner event at Toko Restaurant in Dubai.

Her visit to the season-closing Formula 1 race is a mix of work and play for the socialite, who will host a closing-night after-party on November 23.

Her appearance at the VIP Room pop-up bash at the Radisson Blu Yas Island Hotel will round off three days of post-race festivities that are expected to attract a few other famous faces.

Having previously partied at the club’s venues in Paris and Cannes, there are high hopes megastar Pharrell Williams might make an appearance after his du Arena gig on November 22.

The club will also host performances from US rap stars Future and French Montana, who will yake the mic for club sets on November 21 and 22 respectively. Given that Montana’s on-again-off-again relationship with Kim’s sister Khloe seems to be on again, there’s a good chance that she might also be visiting the capital, a month after she was spotted in Dubai partying alongside Paris Hilton at the opening of Clé Dubai. VIP Room founder Jean-Roch will also be in town for the weekend. Claiming to count Rihanna, Paris Hilton and Jay Z as regulars to his clubs in New York, Cannes and Paris, who knows who else he might talk into stopping by.
