The Kardashians loves to be on the receiving end of controversies - here's another proof.

Reality star Khloe Kardashian landed in Dubai, and got straight into trouble - thanks to her niqab selfie.

A number of followers took offence on Twitter and criticised her for making a fashion accessory out of the religious garb, but just as many insisted she was not being disrespectful.

However, the 30-year-old had more controversy coming her way.

Her most recent Instagram post is the one that got the most attention and slammed by animal rights campaigners after she poses with tiger cub.

Many followers objected that Khloe posed with animals that should be free in the wild and not tamed or caged.

On Wednesday the 30-year-old posted a number of pictures in a farm to her Instagram account including one of her feeding a giraffe, cuddling an orangutan, and 'kissing' a stingray she appears to have become very close with.

While Orangutans are also an endangered species, it was Khloe's shot of the feline that had activists most upset.

One follower wrote: "Tigers should be in the wild not near your made up face."

Another comment says, "Cub petting is one of the most abusive forms of "entertainment" out there."

A follower pointed out, "This is a terrible thing to do this tiger should be in the wild not separated from his mom a birth."

"Not cool Khloe!!!!!", an offended follower wrote on Instagram.

Although she got a sweet lick from the tiger, it looks like a baby monkey named Dior truly won over her heart. She uploaded a photo of herself holding Dior and captioned the pic, "My new best friend, Dior!!! I had the most incredible day!! Thank you @SarahRashid13 for such a blessed experience! #MyDubai."

The Keeping Up With The Kardashians star is in the United Arab Emirates to appear at a hair event inside the Dubai World Trade Center.

Khloe is staying in one of the most unique suites in the world 'the underwater suite' at the Atlantis The Palm.

The room looks out onto one of the biggest aquariums in the world and costs roughly Dhs30,000 per night.

She is constantly instagramming her experience and keeping her 23 million followers updated.
