American-Dominican singer Prince Royce is in Dubai, and he's been documenting every moment on social media.

The singer is in town with Visit Dubai, the emirate's official tourism board, and the team seems to have been showing him a good time.

After touching down last Monday, he posted his first picture from a relaxed-looking majlis, in what looks like Dubai's Al Seef. The singer captioned the photo in Spanish, saying it was his first time in the city.

Tick the city's attractions off like an Instagram post bucket list, the singer also visited At The Top, Burj Khalifa, where he posed in front of the butterfly window.

Along with a few of his friends, Prince Royce has also been to check out the desert at the Dubai Desert Conservation Reserve.

He shared a number of photos posed pensively on top of a sand dune at sunset wearing a kandura.

Captioning his collection of desert photos in both Spanish and English, he wrote: "The world is so big. There’s always room to learn."

It looks like he also stayed at the Al Maha, a Luxury Collection Desert Resort and Spa, Dubai, posting a photo of himself enjoying breakfast in a private pool with a serene desert backdrop.

He captioned the snaps, "Breakfast with a view".

MOUNTAINHEAD REVIEW

Starring: Ramy Youssef, Steve Carell, Jason Schwartzman

Director: Jesse Armstrong

Rating: 3.5/5

Sun jukebox

Rufus Thomas, Bear Cat (The Answer to Hound Dog) (1953)

This rip-off of Leiber/Stoller’s early rock stomper brought a lawsuit against Phillips and necessitated Presley’s premature sale to RCA.

Elvis Presley, Mystery Train (1955)

The B-side of Presley’s final single for Sun bops with a drummer-less groove.

Johnny Cash and the Tennessee Two, Folsom Prison Blues (1955)

Originally recorded for Sun, Cash’s signature tune was performed for inmates of the titular prison 13 years later.

Carl Perkins, Blue Suede Shoes (1956)

Within a month of Sun’s February release Elvis had his version out on RCA.

Roy Orbison, Ooby Dooby (1956)

An essential piece of irreverent juvenilia from Orbison.

Jerry Lee Lewis, Great Balls of Fire (1957)

Lee’s trademark anthem is one of the era’s best-remembered – and best-selling – songs.
