Shakira has arrived in Dubai ahead of her first ever concert in the Middle East.
The concert is part of Shakira's global 'Oral Fixation' tour.
"This is my first time in Dubai, I'm very excited. We're all very excited, me and the band" - Shakira
Shakira, who is Colombian but also has Lebanese roots, greeted members of the press with a mixture of English, Spanish and even some Arabic.
"This is my first time in Dubai, I'm very excited. We're all very excited, me and the band," she said.
She was then presented with a welcome gift by officials, and escorted out of the arrival lounge.
Shakira's concert in Dubai is one of three concerts she is going to hold in the Arab world, with two more scheduled for Tunisia and Lebanon.
