Mariah Carey wow-ed thousands of fans after showing up at the Burj Park Downtown Dubai- the singer had announced her grand return to the Emirate a week ago and showed up glam as ever in a golden shimmery gown.

Carey performed alongside one of the Middle-East’s favourite vocalists, Hussain Al Jasmi for the 1 Year to Expo countdown concerts, where more and more celebrities are scheduled to take part in the year leading up to the grand opening of the EXPO.

Exciting times ahead!

Mariah told the crowd she was excited to be in the Emirate, “at an event being celebrated across the country. It’s so festive here in Dubai”

Burj Khalifa and Downtown Dubai glistened along with the songstress’ performance

Ahhh, such a sight to see.

Mariah Carey kickstarted the year-long countdown to Expo 2020 on Sunday and even told the crowd she’d be there for its opening next year. The free concert that took place at the Burj Park in Dubai was attended by lots of eager Dubai fans, with some who even drove from Abu Dhabi for the concert.

Mariah Carey and Hussain Al Jasmi are just two of seven performers in total scheduled until the opening of Expo 2020 next year.
