After spending a day enjoying the treats on offer at Atlantis - including a dinner at Nobu - Kim Kardashian is finally making her first public appearance in Dubai.
The reality star was giving a press conference at the Palm hotel on Thursday morning, and said she feels right at home.

"We forgot where we were, we could have been at home," she told a packed crowd, who went wild when the floor was opened up for questions. "There are so many similarities between dubai and the States."
"I asked my sisters if we could start a hotel chain here," she said. "There are so many things we could do. I'd love to build it from the ground and design all the rooms.
I'd love to have my sisters here and film a reality season. We should take Dubai!"
Kim Kardashian talks about obsession with Dubai
"We couldn't be happier to be here in this beautiful city," added her mum, Kris Jenner.
Shake it
Kim also made a milkshake using strawberry, pineapple, banana and her “secret topping”, rainbow sprinkles. "Fruity and healthy," she said.
It is same recipe she will be using when she opens Millions of Milkshakes at Dubai Mall on Friday at 6:30pm – the public’s chance to meet the star. She has not yet named the concoction, however, and contrary to earlier reports, it is not the world’s most expensive milkshake.
When asked what she would be taking back to the US with her from this trip, Kardashian said it’s about building relationships.
“The one thing I'd like to take back with me is new relationships. I promised all my sisters I'd take back something very traditional.
"To me it's disturbing that anyone would have a bad feeling about Middle Eastern people," she added. Kardashian and her mother will be spending Thursday afternoon in “old Dubai”, visiting souks.
Kardashian is reaching even further than the UAE, however - a date has been set for a telephone conversation next week between Kardashian and the Bollywood star Shah Rukh Khan, she revealed. Millions of Milkshakes founder Sheeraz Hassan, who has brought Kardashian and her mother to the UAE, had been sending the starlet Khan’s and has made the arrangements for the chat.
