The debutante ball in the desert: Dubai launches its own society event where young girls mix with eligible men on private island

Tt is a tradition perceived by many to be outdated and elitist - with Prince Philip once deeming it 'bloody daft'. But now the presentation of young debutantes to the aristocracy has been resurrected in Dubai. Upper-class girls of 'marrying age' showed off their poise and elegance at The London Season Ball on the exclusive and privately-owned World Islands. They also took part in a range of social, business and etiquette classes at The Emirates Towers.                                                                                                                                                                                                                                         Arabo wonders...lol                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                      posted by Emanto Ngaloru  Nov 17, 2013.
