Michael Jackson sails around the world
DUBAI (AFP) - Michael Jackson has reportedly sailed around The World -- man-made islands in the shape of a world map -- on a trip to the Gulf emirate of Dubai where he is reportedly eyeing property.
The superstar has secretly been in Dubai since August 20, arriving from the small Gulf kingdom of Bahrain where he has been staying since being acquitted of child molestation trial in the United States. Braving the summer heat, Jackson wore his signature black hat and sunglasses as he cruised in the hot waters off the coast of Dubai around The World and other palm tree-shaped islands. The local newspapers published pictures of the self-styled King of Pop touring the city with Sheikh Abdullah bin Hamad Al Khalifa, son of Bahrain's king, and UAE champion rally driver Mohamad bin Sulayem. "Why would one go around these top-of-the-shelf properties unless one had at least a fleeting interest in acquiring some? This is the million dollar question thats doing the rounds of the city," said the Khaleej Times. The New York Post reported earlier this month that Jackson had bought a property near a palace of Sheikh Abdullah in Bahrain where the pop star has been staying since his June acquittal on charges of molesting a 13-year-old boy.
