Michael Jackson was shown around in the company of rally champion Mohammed Bin Sulayem and Sheik Abdulla bin Hamad Al Khalifa, the son of the king of Bahrain, in the Gulf city of Dubai.
The star, who is said to have traveled from Bahrain to Dubai on 20 August, was pictured touring an unidentified property. The king of pop appeared relaxed and friendly, in his trademark black Fedora and sunglasses and a royal blue shirt, strolling alongside his Arab hosts, men in traditional white dishdasha robes and headdresses.
He also ate Buffalo wings and took a speedboat ride.
Jackson, who celebrated his 47th birthday on Monday, "had a wonderful time and he was surprised and impressed by what he found in Dubai", according to Sulayem
The famous singer, who was found not guilty on 10 charges of plying a teenage boy with alcohol and abusing him, was recently fined $10,000 (£5,520) for failing to appear in court to face a civil legal case in Louisiana concerning separate claims of sexual assault.
