Pop diva Beyoncé Knowles looks likely to be performing in Dubai next year as part of her massive world tour.
The former Destiny's Child singer is set to come to the UAE midway through 2007, according to the Dubai-based firm that represents her in this region.
The 25-year-old is now riding high in the charts with her second solo album, B'Day.
Thomas Ovesen, general manager of Mirage Promotions, said no official announcement was possible yet, but added: "It's very likely she will be in Dubai now that she's announced she will be doing a world tour.
"She will be coming through the Middle East as part of her world tour and it would be unusual if she didn't perform in Dubai.
"I think the fans in Dubai would want to see her. There are only one or two other female artistes on a par with her in the world right now."
Beyoncé, who released her debut solo album Dangerously In Love in 2003, has scored hits with songs Crazy In Love, Baby Boy and Déjà Vu.
She has been to Dubai before, having performed at Dubai Media City in May 2005 with Destiny's Child as part of the girl band's Destiny Fulfilled … and Lovin' It tour.
The likely Dubai solo gig for Beyoncé next year comes in the wake of a deal announced yesterday for Mirage to distribute the singer's music in Africa and the Middle East.
This comes on top of a previous agreement to handle her bookings in the region and other "secondary markets".
Other artistes covered by the deal with Beyoncé's management firm, Music World Entertainment, include her Destiny's Child bandmates Kelly Rowland and Michelle Williams.
