Set to debut in 2022. This should be interesting. For those of us who like to watch rich people be rich, this should top all the other shows. I think you have to have serious cash to live in Dubai. They have a high-end shopping mall with a ski resort in it! I do wonder if they'll touch on the terrible social conditions the working class live under (probably not). I'll be checking it out. https://www.eonline.com/news/1307905/the-real-housewives-of-dubai-is-coming-as-bravo-franchise-sets-its-first-international-series

I've always found Dubai fascinating. The architecture, food, clothing, ect should be interesting.

But there's a dark side to Dubai that they probably won't touch. People come there from other (poorer) countries looking for work and are held in near slavery conditions. Their passports are held by their employers so they can't leave and they sleep in un-air conditioned buildings. There is definitely a dark underbelly to all the wealth.

I'm sure they want nothing to do with showing anything as such Babyjax. They are probably more concearned with laws and rules around alcohol consumption!

I'm sure that's true. Should be interesting to see how they handle that!

I'm not surprised to see Andy and Bravo are getting some pushback about their choice to film a show in Dubai.

Why didn't they speak up before they started filming?

I started watching it, but fell asleep halfway through. I wasn't caring for it.

You can tell the production on this show is way different than any of the American RH franchises. It has a totally different feel to it, but I'm still going to watch.

I was looking forward to getting a glimpse of life in Dubai, but so far I'm confused by all the new women. I need another episode or two to figure them all out. The only one I'm sure of is Chanel Ayan, who is the Dubai version of Erika Jayne: she's very full of herself and nasty to everyone else. Not liking her AT ALL.
The rest of them seem okay (Caroline S. is kind of a snob), but I need to figure them all out first. I just wish they'd put up each woman's name for a while, till I get them all sorted out.

Now you know the RH in the US are hoping they don't have to do the "full body confessionals" since they wear shorts or yoga pants with slippers or tennis shoes. All they have to do here is have glam and put on a nice blouse.

I started to watch this week's episode, where all the women go to this gorgeous resort at Caroline Stansbury's invitation. I had to stop after just a few minutes, cause all they do is scream and fight with each other. This is not a fun show to watch at all. These women have so much, yet so little manners. It's hard to watch.

This show is unwatchable. I tried to watch the second half of the reunion show, and all the women are just screaming at and talking over each other. It's awful. And Andy just sits there with a smug look on his face, bouncing his head back and forth like he's watching a tennis match. I'm done.
