King Khan and his close friends including Karan Johar and Kaajal Anand will also be in the desert emirate

Shah Rukh Khan and his friends will not bring in 2011 in Goa, but along with his family and friends in Dubai. The entourage includes Karan Johar, Hrithik-Sussanne, and several other friends of the couple.

Happy New Year!

Says a source, "The Khans and their friends will ring in the new year at the couple's palatial home on The Palm in Jumeirah."

The B-Town brigade leaves on December 30.

Gauri's close friend Kaajal Anand (Putlu) is also part of the group. Arjun Rampal is not going but Chunky Panday with his family might join the gang later.

Some people are waiting their visas to get cleared today and will finalise their plans accordingly. Last year SRK had brought in New Year at his Mumbai home, Mannat.

Ghar ki kahani

The Palm forms part of The Palm Islands, along with Jebel Ali and The Palm, Deira, the world's three largest manmade islands by Nakheel, a company owned by the Dubai government.

They are located off the coast of The United Arab Emirates in the Persian Gulf and each is created in the shape of a palm tree, topped with a crescent.

The residents of the island are rumoured to include Hollywood actor Brad Pitt England footballers David Beckham and Michael Owen.

Shah Rukh, who was handed over the keys to his house on the The Palm Islands in 2007 became a resident of Dubai on November 1, 2008.
