We have lost count of the amount of times Hollywood megastar Will Smith has touched down in Dubai for a quick holiday. Luckily, there is no such thing as Will Smith fatigue, so we are delighted to see that he and wife, Jada Pinkett Smith, have been spotted out and about in the emirate this week.
The couple made time for their favourite sport – golf – and enjoyed a night-time round at Address Montgomerie in Dubai, which Pinkett Smith documented on her Instagram story:
A fan and her budding-golfer son spotted the couple at the golf club during the day, which means they were out on the greens for a good few hours:
The fan had nothing but nice things to say about the A-list golfers, writing: "When you randomly bump into two people you respect and admire so much and are too star stuck to do anything other than wave, babble at them and ask for a photo!
"Thank you Will Smith and Jada Pinkett Smith for being so kind and gracious in humouring me and letting me interrupt your golf lesson to say hi and have a photo," she said. "These two are true couple goals, love that they share this hobby."
The Smiths are regular golfers, sharing frequent pictures of themselves out and about at clubs around the world.
"I play golf every day. It's the first time in my life I make time to do something fun every day. Golf is not only fun but there are so many spiritual practices for me on the course," Pinkett Smith said of the sport on her Instagram page. "[Will] and I love playing golf together. It's fun bonding time."
The couple is now in Tanzania, so it looks like their visit to the UAE may have been a quick stop off en route to another getaway.

HIV on the rise in the region
A 2019 United Nations special analysis on Aids reveals 37 per cent of new HIV infections in the Mena region are from people injecting drugs.
New HIV infections have also risen by 29 per cent in western Europe and Asia, and by 7 per cent in Latin America, but declined elsewhere.
Egypt has shown the highest increase in recorded cases of HIV since 2010, up by 196 per cent.
Access to HIV testing, treatment and care in the region is well below the global average.
Few statistics have been published on the number of cases in the UAE, although a UNAIDS report said 1.5 per cent of the prison population has the virus.
