When you think of the UAE, what are the first words that come to your mind?

For us, it’s glamourous, golden, and grandiose. So does Vogue Arabia.

As the golden jubilee is celebrated across UAE, Vogue Arabia kicks things up a notch by commemorating the milestone in typical Vogue fashion: with a glamourous, golden evening inspired by everything that makes UAE unique.

The Ball of Arabia, a grand red carpet charity event like no other, has returned. This time, it will be held in the ballroom of Raffles, The Palm Dubai on December 12, 2021.

The guest list for the ball features the crème de la crème of society, from royalty, notable Emiratis, style icons to VIPs from every corner of the world.

Out of the fairy tales, into Arabia!

In true Vogue Arabia style, the evening is set to be a regal affair.

Starting with an opulent venue lit by thousands of candles to the attendees wearing exclusive creations from Arab designers, everything about the celebrations screams gold.

Co-chairing the ball will be some of the Middle East’s powerhouses like from creative director and top businesswoman Ingie Chalhoub to beauty moguls Huda and Mona Kattan, actress Mona Zaki, and couturier Zuhair Murad.

What’s more? The after-party includes a thrilling performance by the Caesar of Arabic songs, Kadim Al Sahir!

Truly, a golden Arabian night for a golden 50 years!

PS. Unfortunately, my invites got lost in the mail and my pumpkin doesn’t want to transform, so I’ll be binging on the Ball via Instagram and Youtube!
