She’s back. Hotel heiress Paris Hilton is returning to the UAE. No, not to find another BFF — that’s so yesterday — but for the opening of a new restaurant called Cle Dubai.

“So excited about coming to Dubai for Cle Dubai on October 10th & 11th! I love Dubai,” she tweeted on Wednesday morning.

Hilton will be joined by Victoria’s Secret model Alesaandra Ambrosio, one of the top-earning models in the world, and supermodel Irina Shayk, who is also the girlfriend of footballer Christiano Ronaldo.

Cle Dubai, located at Al Fattan Currency House in DIFC, is the brainchild of Michelin-starred Australian-Lebanese chef Greg Malouf, his first out post in the city. The Melbourne-born chef is famous for his take on Lebanese food, especially through his many cookbooks.

Hilton is no stranger to the UAE. Her store and watch line are hugely successful here. She was in Dubai in December last year to launch a new range of hand bags.

“I have 17 product lines now, I’m about to launch my 16th fragrance. I have over 50 Paris Hilton stores around the world; we’re opening more and more every month. I’m following in my family’s footsteps, getting into real estate and opening my own properties, and the first one is in Manila, Philippines,” she told tabloid! then.

Hilton also stayed for the long haul in 2009 to film her reality show Paris Hilton’s BFF.

tabloid! recently had a sneak peek of Cle Dubai, which features stunning views of the Burj Khalifa and a terrace for alfresco dining. “This is my home, my new destination and my dream to finally cook in the Middle East. This is a place where I can put Middle Eastern cuisine on a pedestal. Cle’s food is truly an expression of an ancient culture done graciously and generously. My life’s work has arrived,” Malouf said in a statement.
