The Oscar winner was snapped on a tour of Sustainable City over the weekend before dining at a new Sheikh Zayed Road hotspot.
Legendary actor Leonardo DiCaprio enjoyed a whistle-stop visit to Dubai this weekend, according to social media images.
The Revenant star was pictured enjoying a private tour of the emirate’s Sustainable City, in a photo shared by a fan site and a garden supplier.
The A-lister, who’s a vocal advocate for environmentalism and green living, joined project founders on the low-key, buggy-driven adventure.
He later dined at Dubai newcomer La Môme, found on the 49th floor of the Nassima Royal Hotel on Sheikh Zayed Road.
The French eatery shared an image of DiCaprio’s message in their guestbook, with the actor scrawling: “Thank you for a spectacular experience! Felt like Paris!”
The restaurant revealed that the star, who reportedly stayed at The One & Only hotel while in Dubai, tucked into the bottomless Toblerone chocolate mousse, according to onlookers.

“It is the most urgent threat facing our entire species, and we need to work collectively together and stop procrastinating,” he told the Academy Awards audience.
“We need to support leaders around the world who do not speak for the big polluters, but who speak for all of humanity, for the indigenous people of the world, for the billions and billions of underprivileged people out there who would be most affected by this.”
