- Arab News Dubai

US singer Nicole Scherzinge­r is set to head to the UAE for the Global Citizen Forum, which will take place in the emirate of Ras Al-Khaimah on

Dec. 12 and 13.

And she’s not the only star slated to attend the event — US-Somali model Halima Aden landed in Dubai on Monday ahead of the forum, and promptly took to Instagram to share snaps with her 1.4 million followers.

The two-day event invites artists, entreprene­urs, economists, changemake­rs and leaders to discuss “human mobility and steps towards a more sustainabl­e future.”

Aden, 24, shared a sneak peak of her beach view at the Mandarin Oriental Jumeirah hotel in

Dubai on her Instagram Story on Monday.

Global Citizen Forum’s annual summits — previously hosted in Dubai, Toronto, Monaco and Sveti Stefan — have each welcomed more than 500 guests from more than 65 countries.

Alongside Aden and Scherzinge­r, there are a number of guests and speakers who will attend the event, including Grammy-nominated DJ and record producer

Steve Aoki, US actress

Eva Longoria, part-Saudi supermodel and philanthro­pist Shanina Shaik, award-winning filmmaker Craig Leeson and more.

A fundraiser gala will close the event on Dec. 13, where internatio­nal talents are set to light up the stage, including Longoria – who has been honored with the 2021 Global Citizen Forum Award, Scherzinge­r, Aoki, Dutch DJ Afrojack, and Grammy awardwinni­ng artist Wyclef Jean.
