A NETFLIX SERIES
[gripping music playing]
They call Dubai the Diamond City.
[upbeat music playing]
Dubai is the city of wealth, it's the city of opportunities.
Dubai is the land of wealth, luxury, prosperity.
Many people have become millionaires in Dubai. And I'm one of them.
Show me the money!
Dubai is a small place. And within that social circle, we're all friends.
[indistinct conversation]
In our circle, there are people from different cultures,
from different countries, who are leading a luxury lifestyle.
I do love the smell of luxury. I like to aim high and then go above that.
[woman 2] People are fooled by appearances.
But I did not achieve this appearance of mine easily.
I worked really hard to get to where I am today.
-[all exclaiming] -[laughter]
[crowd whooping]
[woman 1] There are many who were born millionaires,
while many others were self-made.
-I love Dubai! -Let's party!
[man 1] Happy Valentine's!
[both] We love Dubai!
[whooping]
But beware. Among the rich, some are authentic, and some are fake.
-To anyone who tries to break us. -[plates breaking]
[dramatic music playing]
Mirror, mirror on the wall, who's the fakest one of all?
-I'm not arrogant. -[woman 3] So arrogant.
-You're arrogant. -All right, I'm going.
They say jealousy makes you nasty. So, of course,
if they can't have what you have, they will trash you.
It's sponsored and I get paid for it. It's my work.
-She's nosy! This is stupid! -Okay!
-Apologize? Excuse me? -Ooh!
Just because I look cute and sweet,
doesn't mean I can't be tough and mean.
Farhana, enough! Stop it!
Know your limits, because you can't mess with me.
How dare you, Safa? You are a fake… You're a fake friend!
At least I can tell you you're a fucking idiot.
I don't entertain two-faced people in my life.
[man 2] Hey!
Everyone here is looking for something. Money, power, image, or love.
[Safa] I love you.
[woman 2] No, don't cry. Please, no!
If you think you've seen it all, trust me, you have seen nothing yet.
[neighs]
[screams]
My dear friend… Welcome to Dubai!
I'm Zeina Khoury from Lebanon. I've been living in Dubai for 15 years.
I only had $300 when I came here, but I turned that into millions.
[gripping music playing]
I proved myself in the real estate business.
I was part of the team that founded Palazzo Versace Dubai.
Because my name became tied to this hotel,
they started calling me Queen of Versace.
I am the Queen of Versace.

Fahad!
-Why have you thrown my stuff? -There's hardly any space for my stuff.
-You shove all your stuff on my things! -Where do I to put my stuff?
-There's no space! -You have your own room now.
Look at this dress. Look how crumpled it got.
Fahad and I have been married for three years.
He comes from a very conservative, but influential family in India.
We have a two-year-old baby girl.
We're both like fuel to the fire because I get quite kind of frustrated quickly.
Look at this. I have literally no space anywhere.
Look at this. I am literally shoving my things. Look at this.
We already extended this room!
But we always have guests in the house!
[Fahad] She has enough space. We have a five-bedroom house.
We had to convert one of our bedrooms into her walk-in wardrobe,
just so that she could have a bigger space.
And it's more than enough.
-It's a storage room for your clothes. -It's not storing anything!
It's not storing anything, because you keep hoarding.
I'm not. You're the biggest hoarder.
Let's go down and see what you've hoarded.
There are times when she gets pissed off,
but the love wouldn't change, no matter what.
Let's move. I want a bigger space.
[dramatic music plays]
-I don't want to discuss this anymore. -Fahad. Don't walk away.
Fahad!
[funky music playing]
Safa called me saying, "Come over right now,"
and she sounded angry.
[doorbell rings]
I got really scared.
[kisses]
I'm so worried. Are you okay?
Yeah, yeah.
Shh. [whispers indistinctly]
[whispers] Fahad?
You really scared me. Come on, tell me.
Fahad is just being really… You know how Fahad is.
Every time, just "No, no, no," then "Yes." Okay?
But, like, I'm up to here with the "No's." I want a solution.
-For? -I have no space in the house.
-We've outgrown it. -Okay. You scared me.
-The problem is space? -What?
-Of course. But you know… -Okay.
-…I'm having this ongoing problem. -Buy a house then.
-It's okay. -It's time, we need to do this.
No, it's not okay. It's not. I'm sick of it. Really sick of it.
Okay, we'll look for a house.
All those pretty bags and fashion she's spending all that money on,
they need to be placed in a neat and tidy manner,
so that she can see what she wants to wear.
-There's a problem. Very big problem. -Honey, it's not a problem…
This is a first world problem.
Fahad really loves her.
They have a functional relationship.
He's someone who can give her this royal lifestyle.
His mother… Like, she had-- They've shared a lot of memories here.
He doesn't want to sell this house.
If we want to expand the space, we have two options.
He wants either this house, or--
-Or this house. -This house.
[Zeina] Well, that limits our options.
Yes. We would basically add, like, a little tunnel,
and then maybe have it there,
-and maybe like a guest house. -[exhales]
When she told me we had to choose between these two houses,
and those were our only options from a real estate point of view,
it's the most difficult situation you can create for an agent.
First we need to check if they want to sell.
If this guy is asking for 90 million,
are you ready to move forward on 90 million?
-He needs to make it ready. -Show me the money!
-Exactly. Happy wife, happy life. Right? -Okay, I need to talk to Fahad.
Honestly, the budget for the house… It's Fahad's problem.
[percussive music playing]
Make it happen. [chuckles]
[chorus humming deeply]
[Zeina] Kris Fade, my friend, a Lebanese Australian,
who came to Dubai with a sum close to $300,
who was able, in a very short time,
to become the most successful radio host and businessman in Dubai.
[gripping music playing]
Kris is divorced, he has two daughters,
now he's working on a new chapter with Brianna.
My parents left Lebanon, uh, early when I were young.
And I lived my whole life in Australia.
I tried to find myself, made coffees, I was a barista,
I used to wash cars, I cleaned toilets, and then I accidentally fell into radio.
Hello, Mom! Hello, Dad!
It's the Kris Fade Show across the country!
Until an opportunity opened up here in Dubai.
And I was meant to be here for two years… [inhales sharply]
Fourteen years, this year.
And am I a millionaire? Yeah.
♪ We're taking over the streets now ♪
♪ Taking over the streets ♪
After a holiday of five weeks in Australia, I was ready to get back.
BRIANNA RAMIREZ
Girls need to go to school, and we're back in Dubai.
♪ We're taking over the streets now ♪
[Kris] You guys ready for school?
-Yeah… Kind of. -Not that much.
We had five weeks off. How can't you be ready for school yet?
Not many fathers have a closer relationship than I do with my daughters.
It took me a while. I don't think I was ready.
I was 26 years old.
The girls have a mother, so I never wanted Brianna to be that role,
but I wanted her to be like an older sister,
a best friend, like an auntie, even.
[groovy music playing]
I'm throwing an event in a few days. I wanted to make sure everyone was coming.
[line ringing]
-Lojain! How are you? -[Lojain] Kris!
-I'm fine. How are you? -Everyone, say hi!
-Hi! -[Kris] So, listen.
You're going to come to our event? Are you coming?
Well, if I wasn't going away on trip, I would've come.
No? Not coming?
[Kris] No, she's got work in Saudi, she won't be able to make it.
I understand. Take care. I'll talk to you soon.
-[Lojain] Thank you. Bye-bye. See you. -[Kris] Bye.
-Kris! Didn't he invite you? -To the party? He did.
-Yes, I'm going. -You are?
I'm travelling so I had to decline.
-Seriously? -Yeah. Ready?
-[Zeina] I hope so. -[Lojain] Is it painful?
[woman] It is painful.
Standing on nails is a new idea
that aims to teach you how to control your mind,
how to control your pain and guide your mind.
[woman] Before we start, I want you to think why you want to do it.
I'm starting a new chapter in my life, a new career.
Uh, I'm ready and a little bit not ready, so, that's why.
[captivating music playing]
[Zeina] Lojain Omran is a Saudi millionaire.
She's one of the most successful TV hosts in the Arab world.
[crowd cheering]
God bless you.
You're the best audience! God bless you all.
She has a very strong influence over women.
She likes to motivate them to be independent.
We're very close, and I love her very much.
She's a very strong woman. Someone I definitely look up to.
[Lojain] I've been working in the media for 17 years.
I've been able to prove myself and be successful.
But in the Arab world, a female presenter has an expiry date,
in terms of both her looks and her age.
So, right now, besides my work in the media,
I'm going to start a new career, which is acting.
Of course I can feel the pain, my dear. [laughs]
Did you think we were here to hang out? No. This is serious.
Acting is a brand-new experience for me. I need to be very well prepared.
I'm going to film you.
I was very happy that she included me in such an activity.
Just stand on the first, and then on the second.
Oh, oh. No, it's… It's… it's painful, by the way.
The pain that I felt as soon as I placed my right foot was unbearable.
It felt as if the nails went in through my foot,
then the pain went all the way up to my head like a thread.
[solemn music playing]
-[woman] Don't think too much. -[Zeina] Do it quick.
-[woman] Breathe. Just breathe. -[breathing deeply]
Just breathe deeply. Breathe. Breathe, breathe, breathe.
Okay, let's repeat after me, "I love myself."
I love myself.
[woman] "My life is my choice."
[voice shaking] My life is my choice, of course. [shudders]
[woman] There's no pain. It's all in my mind.
I can't lie. There is pain.
It's all in my mind.
-[whimpers] -Look at my eyes.
-Just breathe. -It's painful.
[woman] It's okay. Everybody feels pain. It's okay. It's okay, just cry.
-It's painful! Okay… No, I need… -[woman] It's okay.
The pain shocked me because I wasn't expecting it.
"How painful can it be? The emotional pain you had to endure in your life,
and at an early stage, was much worse."
Sometimes, you have to face it.
It's all about how you face it.
[Lojain groans]
Imagine just standing up for five minutes,
let alone having nails under your feet. No way.
-Oh, my God! -[woman] It's fine.
-It looks like Chanel now. -[all laughing]
It's painful! Why do we torture ourselves?
Usually, I love myself. But today, I hated myself for what I did to myself. Okay.
Those memories didn't help. On the contrary. They made me feel worse,
on top of the pain I was feeling from standing on the board.

♪ Let me tell you all a dirty secret ♪
[Zeina] LJ is a friend.
There's a lot in common between me and her.
She's sociable and lovable.
My name is Loujain Adadah. When I was 21, I married a Saudi businessman.
The wedding was like a fairy tale. I felt like a princess.
[Zeina] LJ was married to a billionaire.
They had a wedding that remained the talk of the town for a long time afterwards.
Her wedding cost more than $10 million.
She wore a necklace worth more than $2 million.
She even wore a Karl Lagerfeld dress that was worth more than $200,000.
Everyone was flown to her wedding in Venice on private jets.
Many people criticized me because the age difference between us
was almost 30 years.
But love knows no age.
♪ Let me tell you all A dirty secret ♪
Sadly, he passed away from cancer.
And it happened just one month after I gave birth to my second daughter.
I've been in Dubai for almost a year now.
And now I feel that I'm ready to be with someone else
and have a fresh start in my life.
A friend convinced me to go on a blind date.
He sent me a helicopter,
and I have no idea what's in store for me. Let's see.
[enchanting music playing]
There I was, wondering how I would react.
EBRAHEEM AL SAMADI
What if she was someone I already knew?
But then I saw how beautiful she was. She looked like a Barbie doll.
-Finally. Hi. Ebraheem. -How are you? Loujain.
-Nice to meet you. -Nice to meet you too.
He had a flower here. I couldn't believe it.
Yeah, it's one of my favorite colors.
-Thanks. -It's peaceful.
The worst thing someone could get me is a red rose.
Big X.
I mean, you could get me a gift, as a nice gesture.
It's really nice. Very thoughtful.
One thing I'd like to say about myself, I'm rich and I like gifts.
[giggles]
It was a very nice idea for you to send me the helicopter.
How was it?
Mmm, I'm used to it.
My husband used to have a helicopter.
So, when we were in Europe, we used to go everywhere.
Have you ever been on a blind date before?
-No, it's my first time actually. -Me too.
[both chuckle]
I've never been on a blind date.
I hope I met your expectations.
-I didn't have expectations. -Okay, good.
[LJ] I kept looking at his lips,
saying to myself, "This can't be my date."
I mean… no way.
[Ebraheem] Thank you.
-What do you do? -[chuckles] Roses, as you can see.
We own the company called Forever Rose, London.
I was born in Kuwait, and my mother is from the States.
I own several companies, and I have 350 employees.
In terms of my net worth, we're talking more than 90 million dollars.
-So, are you famous? -Famous because of my work--
I've never heard of you.
Really? Yeah.
So, what did you study? What do you work? What do you like to do?
So, uh, I… I was living in Lebanon before, and I was…
I mean, I was… I moved to Dubai a year ago.
And I have two daughters.
Wow. And their father, is he in Dubai or abroad?
-Their father passed away. -Oh.
-Sorry, didn't know. -Their father passed away.
-May he rest in peace. -It's been five years now.
Will you have one bite? [chuckles]
[whimsical music playing]
[giggles]
It's okay.
[chuckles]
[imitates crunching]
What's this?
You don't feel the need of someone that will be with you?
Mmm, no.
Maybe I have no feelings.
I don't know.
[giggles] I'm kidding.
As soon as I wake up, I, uh…
do cardio exercises right away,
without eating anything.
I do a fasting cardio exercise for 45 minutes…
[LJ] I was bored.
He was talking, but I wasn't listening. I wasn't even listening to him.
So, I think my ride for the helicopter is any time soon.
-I hope to see you some time soon. -Thank you.
I'm not going to see him again on a date.
That's for sure.
[upbeat song playing]
[gripping music playing]
I was attending an event at Versace.
And as I'm passing through the lobby, I see Farhana.
She was having a photo shoot.
[photographer] Aydin, come on.
[Zeina] Farhana is an influencer on social media.
[photographer] Oh, nice.
I met Farhana for the first time when we were at a private dinner,
and she was sitting next to me.
I felt that this is someone that I can relate to.
[photographer] That's a really nice one.
I've lived in Dubai since, uh, 2008.
FARHANA BODI
I would call myself a social media personality,
where I promote luxury brands, lifestyle…
I'm a young single mom. I recently got separated.
[photographer] Oh, nice! Nice!
I feel that I'm hardworking, I'm reaching my goals, and I'm providing the lifestyle,
that I want to provide for myself and my son. I'm living the dream life.
[photographer] Come on, buddy, over here.
I saw her again several times after she became Farhana
"the Instagram sensation".
Aydin, come on, over here. Look at me, buddy.
I didn't really expect to see Zeina. We just kind of lost touch.
-[Zeina] Amazing! -[photographer] Got some nice shots.
[Farhana] I thought of doing his hair a little--
-[Zeina] How have you been? -[Farhana] Good. You?
-I thought it's a photo shoot for you. -[Farhana laughs] Funny boy…
More for him, I guess.
I was just passing by, and I saw you guys doing your thing,
-and I was like, "I should say hi." -Yeah!
I need to break the ice.
-Last time I saw you was in the event… -Yes.
-In the Palazzo Versace event. -Yes.
And you walked in, you said hi to someone just sitting in front of me.
I think you were busy, you didn't see me.
Oh, my God! How could I miss you?
Because I said hi to everyone on the table.
That's why I was thinking…
How come you greeted someone sitting in front of me, but not me?
I'm 1.8 meters tall and wide and you didn't see me?
-Please understand-- -You were busy…
-I was busy. [laughs] -"Hi!"
It has been all about her business… She's getting sponsorships and collaborations.
That's when I started drifting apart from Farhana,
and gradually, I couldn't relate to her anymore.
She becomes like a walking, uh, marketing machine.
-Don't do it again, huh? -Oh, my God!
-Next time, I'll be like, "Where's Zeina?" -Exactly.
She's a fake person.
[laughing]
That's who Farhana is.
Next time I'm in any Versace event, it'll be in the back of my mind,
"Zeina's going to be here. She's a Versace girl like me."
-Very nice to see you. Enjoy. -You too. Take care.
They say jealousy makes you nasty.
So if they cannot have what you have, they're gonna be jealous,
they're gonna talk bad about you, trash you, they're gonna…
That's why they talk shit.
[groovy music playing]
We are four boys and three girls in the family. I'm the second child.
The closest one to me is my brother Basel.
He's in charge of everything related to my work.
-Double, or-- -By the way, did you book… What is it,
-my executive class ticket to Riyadh? -[Basel] Yes.
[Lojain] Mazen, the youngest among the boys, lives with me here in Dubai.
He finished his studies, but couldn't find a job.
The clock's ticking, and he's not a child anymore.
MAZEN OMRAN
I'm both a mother and a father to Mazen,
since he's living with me and I'm responsible for him.
So, after all these years you've worked in the media,
now you want to start a new career in acting…
To be honest, when you first told me, I felt a bit concerned.
That's normal. It's a bit of a risk for me, like an adventure.
Well, to be honest, Lojain sets an example.
She worked hard on herself, invested energy in all the right places,
and she has the kindest heart. She's very affectionate.
She treats me like a son, not just a brother.
But, Lo, after all these years you've spent working so hard,
don't you ever think, "It's time I took a break"?
That's too soon. Too soon, my dear.
Why would I retire at this age?
Even if I did make myself a little fortune,
at the end of the day, I still have responsibilities and obligations.
If I retired, I would have to stop providing for my family.
When you find a job, it would be a weight lifted off my shoulders.
I don't know when he'll find a job. Soon, hopefully.
-Hopefully. -I want him to wake up each morning,
-to an office, a job, an obligation. -[both laughing]
These "going-out" shenanigans of yours,
where I'm sleeping while you're out partying, needs to stop.
[Basel and Mazen laughing]
[groovy music playing]
[Brianna] Tonight, I'm meeting Zeina.
Zeina's good friends with Kris
and I've wanted to meet her for a long time.
Kris wants to meet Hanna, and I would like to meet B.
-[Kris] Hi! -[Zeina] Hello!
-[Kris] How are you? -Finally!
-Bree, how are you? -Nice to meet you.
Kris, nice to finally meet you!
-Hi, how are you? -How have you been?
[Hanna] I heard a lot about you.
So, how have you guys been?
We've been very busy. But when you called, I was like,
-"No, I need to meet her!" -Now, you have to.
-I know! -Also, Hanna. You have to meet.
HANNA AZZI
[Kris] He's like, undercover.
I wasn't sure if you were real at one stage.
[Zeina] He doesn't let me post anything on Instagram.
-Why? Why no Instagram? This-- -I'm just a private person.
But we have to thank social media. That's how I met this guy.
True.
We met because she bought some of our snacks.
We have healthy snacks for adults, for kids, we have protein snacks.
And then, she sent me a message on Instagram going,
"I love your snacks, they're amazing."
And then we just started corresponding on Instagram,
that's how that relationship kicked off.
-You met on social media as well? -Yeah.
-[Hanna] Did you? Wow! -He slid in the DMs.
That's how we met.
I'm Mexican-American. I came eight years ago to Dubai,
and that's when I met Kris Fade, my fiancé.
Did you, like, think twice? That, "Okay, he's divorced, he has two kids."
-Of course. -"Am I going to be a good stepmom?"
"How is it going to be?"
It's never easy, but, you know, I fell in love with him.
Well, at first, I was Auntie Brianna, because they were a little young,
-and now, I'm just, you know… "B." -"B".
[laughter]
But in your ten years, did you ever get close? Did you…
-Or has it always been really tight? -Honestly, we don't fight much.
Yeah, yeah, please.
I think we should fight a bit more.
Fighting is healthy sometimes.
-Yeah. -Yeah.
But it's because we don't see each other much.
We started seeing someone, got some therapy,
which I think was a good decision.
-So, like, couple therapy? -[Kris] Couple therapy, yeah.
Someone who's divorced, with two kids,
a woman joining, that you've just met, is now part of your family somewhat.
We were just fighting about certain things,
and I was just like, "Let's go see someone."
People get ashamed about it,
like, they think you shouldn't talk about it.
But I'm very traditional in that sense.
You kind of grow up and you always think that, "No, doing that is bad,"
worst-case scenario, but it's not.
-True. -It's not at all.
"You're telling someone else about problems in your relationship!"
-That's the Arab way. -Exactly.
"What do you mean?" Especially as a man.
I don't understand why it's a taboo in the Arab world.
The fact that they're getting therapy and they're actually talking about it,
to me, is the utmost level of maturity.
I can't wait for our event. Can't wait to have you guys there.
I've got a little surprise installed,
and I'm excited to see how it's going to come on.
[upbeat song playing]
-You want some lunch? -Yeah.
[mumbles]
Hi, baby. You want biryani?
-Yeah. -[chef] Okay.
Hi, Lulu. What are you eating?
Biryani.
-Biryani. -You're an authentic Indian!
Alina has Fahad's traits. She likes Indian food.
I thought you were off carbs.
It's fine.
Fahad.
Hareesh, I thought we said no rice for Fahad.
[whimsical music playing]
[mumbles]
What is he doing?
This is like when he puts sugar in your tea
-and we tell him not to. -It's okay.
That chef embarrassed me.
He follows him around like a wife.
Even I don't do that.
So, I invited Zeina.
FAHAD SIDDIQUI
I had a chat with her regarding the house.
[Fahad] Hmm.
[Safa] So, I've basically said to her
that we can look at some options, um, to expand the house.
You're in a rush.
There's no space for my things, because you moved your office inside here,
and we always have family and people coming over.
So…
Is she done food?
I'm done!
You're done! Well done!
What about…
So, we'll have a bigger space, you'll get what you want,
but what about Alina, having…
We need to expand the family as well.
Oh, my God. Are you serious about this again?
Fahad, I told you, like, right now, my body can't take it.
Would it be fair for her not to have a sibling?
I understand, and I agree. I want to give her a sibling,
-but not right now. -If you're going to procrastinate…
And I want to look at other options.
I really struggled during my pregnancy,
and the baby, the delivery, the depression.
I gained 25 kilos.
You had a comfortable pregnancy from what I saw.
Fahad, you were not pregnant.
Please don't speak for me. I hate when you say this.
[Fahad] For her, it's all for herself. Like, she wants to lose weight
and fit into her clothes that she has. She can be a brat.
If we are expanding our family, and having… You know?
Then, we plan things like getting a bigger house,
-getting more space… -So, you're bribing me.
"Produce a child, and then I'll give you a house."
-You want to put labels? -That's how it sounds.
You're putting labels to it.
I was annoyed, because he made a link between buying a house,
"You have to give me a second child."
You should make sure I'm comfortable and then we can think about it.
[groovy music playing]
Come on, Mommy.
My mother is the most important person in my life.
My mother is from America, and I'm working hard to provide the best life for her.
My friend did something. He set me up for my first ever blind date.
-[mom] Oh, really? -[both chuckle]
I'm currently the only one who's still not married
among my brothers and sisters.
My mother is set to find me a girl to marry.
That's why I always consult her.
-Hello, Sayyed. How are you? -Welcome.
Ebraheem and I, we've always been close as mother and son.
But hopefully, Ebraheem will find the right match for him.
So, uh, tell me how it went.
Well, to be honest, it was a bit of a disaster.
I bring her to Atlantis and we had a nice dinner.
She's really beautiful, that's for sure.
But you know, when you see beauty without any brains? [chuckles]
Oh.
Acting like a typical blondie, you know?
Not your type at all, right?
-[both chuckle] -I didn't know that.
So afterwards I wanted to see what her husband was like.
She didn't say nothing, just, "My husband is dead."
I saw a picture of him. Mom, he's like 35 years older than her.
-Yeah. -What do you think about my reputation?
She's all over the Internet, she's all over everywhere.
People will come and say, "Look who he's married to!"
Because she's known to marry this old guy…
-You mean gold-digger type? [laughs] -You said it. I didn't say it.
It was in my head and it just had to come out.
[both laughing]

[LJ] I went with Safa and Zeina to Bulgari.
To find a necklace for Safa for Kris and Brianna's event.

[Safa] After the argument with Fahad, I was pissed off.
So I kinda need to give him a bit of a burn.
[woman] Beautiful Serpenti necklace for you in white gold.
I really love Serpenti.
[whimsical music playing]
I think this color suits you.
I like Serpenti. My favorite.
-Protect us from the snakes of the world. -Yeah. [hisses]
I want diamond version snakes. Not human versions.
It's beautiful.
I went on a blind date two days ago.
My first blind date ever.
Our friend in common, he hooked us up.
We went to Atlantis. But I was thinking to myself…
"I just want to leave."
But why?
Um…
We didn't click.
What's his name? Do we know him?
-His name is Ebraheem. -Ebraheem?
Mmm. Ebraheem Al Samadi.
Oh, darling! Eebo!
-[Safa] Our friend?! -Eebo? How handsome is he?
"He's very cute, he's very sweet, and you seem to match."
I know they are joking.
Do you know him?
For sure. How cute?
He's just not my style.
Ebraheem is very fun and sweet.
He's very well-travelled. Educated.
Comes from a good family and has a great work.
No, of course.
So you all know him.
-[Safa] Dubai is small. -I know.
-Everyone knows-- -Everybody knows everybody.
-What do you girls think? -[Zeina] It's definitely not for everyday.
-Don't want it every day. -I wanna say something.
Something about rubies I don't like, it makes you look older.
[Zeina] Try something else.
-[LJ] Try something else. -Yeah.
[LJ] Safa, when you met your husband, did you feel attraction?
Did you feel like you want--
[Zeina] She felt the money.
[laughter]
I didn't really care 'cause it wasn't interesting for me and him.
-Oh, wow. -[Zeina] Mmm.
-[Safa] He wasn't-- -[Zeina] Did it show that he had money?
[LJ] I want to ask you,
you working in the real estate, is it because you meet rich people?
Like… I mean…
Like, is it a way of meeting, like, rich people, getting to know them?
No way. Working in real estate requires a lot of effort, time.
[LJ] Yeah, but her story is really nice.
She had a client who wanted to buy and ended up marrying her.
Like…
Because she's never worked,
maybe she doesn't know you need a career to have money.
This was your lifestyle before you got married?
-Of course. What about you? -I come from a very simple family.
-[Safa] Lifestyle changed after marriage? -Yes.
-Is that why you married your husband? -[LJ] No.
It happened that he was wealthy, but that's not the main reason.
What do you like in a man?
Not to be a bartender of course, but…
Something that is…
He has to be well-off. Not a millionaire, billionaire,
he has to be able to take me to Chanel.
-Is there a bathroom? -Uh, it's outside the store.
[whimsical music playing]
Did you find it?
[LJ] Gonna to take my bag.
Can we get coffee?
"I told him this, he told me that…"
[chuckles]
I wanna just laugh. Oh, my God.
It's really rude. What's wrong with a bartender?
I'm sorry. That's really rude.
She thinks she's a Barbie.
[LJ] I'm back.
-What did you choose? -This one. I think this is the one. Yeah.
Excuse me, how much is this one?
[woman] Ten million, three hundred dirhams.
It will look really beautiful for tomorrow.
It looks stunning.
I'm really excited to go to Kris and Brianna's event.
[captivating music playing]
-[Kris] Oh, wow. -[Brianna] Wow.
-Oh, my gosh. -Oh, my goodness!
-That's beautiful. -That is gorgeous.
-Are you happy? -Yes! "Kris and Brianna!"
-[Kris] Is that what you wanted? -[Brianna] It's beautiful!
A girl from LA…
[laughs]
…a guy from Sydney, doing this in Dubai.
-In Dubai, I know. -Isn't it remarkable?
Let's take some pictures.
[captivating music continues]
-Thank you for coming. You look gorgeous. -[Safa] You look amazing.
-Good to see you. -Hi, brother.
[Fahad] Love this.
[exclaims]
[Zeina] The set up was so beautiful. In front of the Burj Khalifa.
There were roses everywhere,
and all the people who love Kris and Brianna were there.
It was very nice.
[indistinct chatter]
[upbeat music playing]
Did you see who's at the table?
I think that Farhana is sitting here.
You see Farhana at every big event in Dubai.
It's so strange.
I ran into her at Versace,
she was having a photo shoot with her son.
I don't want to… I wanted to break the ice.
So she knows that I noticed that she didn't say hi to me.
She's here.
Let's check her out--
-She doesn't speak Arabic right? -[Zeina] What? She doesn't.
So, say what you want. [laughs]
-[Kris] How are you? -[Farhana] Good.
-[Brianna] You look so beautiful! -Thank you for having me.
-It's so beautiful. -I don't want to look.
-Hi! -Hi! [laughs]
Oh, my God. You guys look stunning.
-How are you? -Good.
-Look at the jewelry! -Look at you.
-I love your makeup. -You look gorgeous. How are you?
-On point, I love it. -This is nice.
This is nice. I love it.
Oh, wow, this is stunning.
Zeina was extremely nice to me.
She was being very nice.
I don't know if she was being fake or she was genuinely being nice.
On the other hand, I was genuinely being nice to her.
Hey, guys.
So, I'm at Kris and Brianna's party event And we have this beautiful view
and beautiful girls around us.
Say hi!
-[Zeina] Farhana is here. -[Brianna] Hi!
Hey, come on, we're out here, like, let's talk to you.
[Safa] Farhana's job is social media influencer.
And I guess she has to make content from somewhere, so…
I don't know, nothing to say.
Who's next to you?
-It says, "LJ" -LJ.
[Brianna] LJ.
["Hex On Me" playing]
-[woman] Cheers. -[Hanna] Hi. Good to see you.
-How are you? -[Farhana] Good.
-Where's LJ anyways? -[Safa] Always late.
-Really? -Always.

[Kris exclaims] Hi!
Oh, my God. This is, like, the last person I want to see right now at this dinner.
-Hi, everyone. -[Kris] How are you?
Thanks for joining us.
-[LJ] So nice to be here. -Lovely to see you again.
-Finally. So nice to meet you. -[Brianna] Good to see you.
You look awkward.
-I know. I didn't expect her to be here. -[Brianna] You're gorgeous.
-You too. -I don't know. Anyway.
-[Kris] You look amazing by the way. -You should be in the middle.
She has some issue with her. They have some issue together.
[Zeina] Yes…
-She didn't know she was coming. -They didn't know about them.
She doesn't like her, but I don't know why.
-Are you okay? -I don't know why I'm sitting next to her.
She's not somebody I want to say hi to. So I just ignored her.
[imperceptible]
I went to sit down, and I saw a mean face.
-Hi. -[Zeina] Hi!
[Kris] So, how is life?
-Very good. -[Kris] Yeah?
Next to me there was someone who I don't get along with.
I won't say who, and I don't like to talk about it.
She's not on my level.
-Who's mad with whom? -She's mad with her.
-She is. -Yeah.
[Kris] Well, uh…
-Ladies and gentlemen. -[Zeina] Yes?
[Safa] Yay!
Thank you for joining us here tonight.
Brianna, if I can, uh, take your hand?
As many of you know, Brianna and I have been together
for around… about seven and half years now.
And tonight we're here because we want to announce
that we're getting married very, very soon.
And we would love you all to be there.
[all cheering]
I want to get an answer…
With my friends and family here.
-So, baby, will you marry me? -Of course.
[all cheering]
Yes!
[LJ] Aw, it's so sweet.
[laughs]
On your knee.
[Kris] The date is coming. We will send you the official invites.
And get ready to come to our wedding!
[all cheering]
The circle's really small. The most perfect people.
Brianna and I are so happy.
Everybody come on. Hands in the air, let's go!
We're gonna get married!
Now I'm gonna lift Brianna…
-No, I'm joking. -[all laughing]
That's for the wedding.
-[instrumental music playing] -[indistinct chatter]
-Cheers, congratulations. -Thank you so much.
Thank you.
-[Kris] Thank you. -[Brianna] Thank you.
I could already feel the negative vibes between us.
All right. So, you guys are very quiet.
I put you together, you know each other.
We used to be friends before. But we don't talk anymore.
[Kris] At all?
Yeah, something's happened between us.
Because she did something really bad to me recently
and I was like, there's no way I can--
Okay. They're telling this story.
-Listen. I think you should stop this. -My God.
No. But I'm sorry, they're asking me. I just want to honest why…
He asked me a question.
You wanna be honest? I can be honest as well at the same time.
She wants drama just to show off.
Is there any chance, and I mean this much of a chance, that…
Never.
Cheers.
[Kris] You won't even look at LJ.
Yeah, because she did something really trashy to me on social media.
And it was unacceptable, I'm sorry.
Sorry?
I would never want to be in LJ's shoes.
Unless it's Christian Louboutin size 41.
Then… Okay, fine.
If she apologizes to me on the platform what she did to me--
Excuse me? Sorry, apologize?
[dramatic music playing]
Over my dead body.
Ooh!
You have to apologize to me.
I don't have to because you did something really evil.
-[LJ] You did even worse. -Yeah, whatever.
-Before and after… -[Farhana] I won't spoil the dinner.
Apologize? [scoffs]
As if my life wasn't bad enough already, yeah.
Kris, I'm gonna leave.
-Congratulations. -[Kris] Okay.
-Thank you so much. -Welcome.
-Thank you for coming, I appreciate it. -Thank you.
-Thank you so much. Bye, everyone. -Bye.
Exactly! Cheers!
To good times.
-Why are you doing this? -I can't be around her.
One for the Gram!
To be honest, I'm a winner. And watch out of this space.
She put a photoshopped conversation
about something which I never even said in my life.
It was like, "I used this person for this."
"I did this for this to this person."
And she tagged me.
She can say whatever. Her time will come.
Just not right now.
