Armenian Ball: Annual gathering attracts VIPs and Socialites
Armenian hospitality and culture were the talk of the evening at the annual Armenian Ball held at the Bustan Rotana Hotel. From elegant gowns to sizzling socialites, the event was a success as 500 people gathered to enjoy the fine company if select VIPs and diplomatic figures, some of whom included the Ambassadors to the UAE from Armenia, France, Syria and other countries. A lavish dinner accompanied by a live performance from singer Hovsep Gomidas and band made the evening memorable, as the pictures here prove so well.
