Singing sensation Justin Bieber turned up the heat in Dubai on Saturday at his much-waited concert.
It was his second performance in the emirate since 2013 and thousands of fans went to see The Canadian star perform at the Autism Rocks Arena.
The concert, organised by 117 Live, was part of the 23-year-old's Purpose World Tour, for which he's been on the road for almost an year, promoting his new album 'Purpose'.
He came on stage at 8.05pm - very time-efficient as compared to 2013, when he showed up two hours late - and kicked off the concert with his song 'Mark My Words'.
Beliebers - what Bieber fans are lovingly known as - went into a frenzy when their musical idol appeared on stage. He was sporting a casual look, with a white tank top and shorts on.
"How you guys doing?" He had asked the screaming audience.
He performed the hit "Where Are You Now" next followed by an acoustic version of "Love Yourself". Bieber wooed his fans when he started playing his guitar.
"People always thought I couldn't do it. They told me 'You wouldn't be able to it, Justin, and I told them 'I'll Show You'," Bieber said to his fans before performing the song 'I'll Show You'.
He also sang the other hit songs from his new album 'Company' and 'What Do You Mean'.
He didn't say much to his fans except an occasional "how are you doing?" and "You guys doing alright?".
However, he did interact with a few kids on stage and made them introduce themselves, letting them have their two-minutes in the spotlight.
The stage was nicely set up for Bieber, with a long catwalk where he could get closer to his fans. There were also fireworks on display during some of his songs.
The concert attracted a diverse crowd, from little girls, teens and to adults.
In fact, many Beliebers turned up to the event almost 10 hours before Bieber was meant to be on stage.
They brought along tents and waited outside of the venue, where gates opened at 4pm.
Temperatures were at a high of 43 degrees Celsius, though, that didn't deter loyal Bieber fans. They stayed under the scorching sun for hours, waiting for him to arrive.
During the wait, there were loads of food and beverages options and a few food trucks were parked at the venue. There was also a fun option of zip lining right outside of the arena.
Ticket prices started at Dh335 for regular tickets and went up all the way to Dhs4,000 for the Ultimate Purpose Backstage Tour pass and a whopping 14,500 for a VIP table.
Bieber was spotted in Dubai a day before his performance, spending time at the beach, near a pool and playing football.
