‘The Real Housewives of Dubai’ Is Coming to Bravo and This Is What Fans Are Saying
Bravo is best known to be the home of The Real Housewives. The franchise started in 2006 with The Real Housewives of Orange County where icons like Vicki Gunvalson and Tamra Judge were made. Cities that followed included New York City, Atlanta, New Jersey, D.C., Beverly Hills, Miami, Potomac, and Dallas. The Real Housewives of Salt Lake City was the latest U.S. city to get a franchise last year and the format is now going international. The Real Housewives of Dubai was confirmed this week and fans have a lot to say.

The press release also said that the series will highlight “a group of women navigating their relationships, careers, and supremely lavish and ultra-wealthy lifestyles in the United Arab Emirates.”
“Whether they’re coasting on a private plane, running their own empires, or hosting on a private island, these glamourous, successful women are ready to serve up scorching hot drama and unexpected twists,” the official press release read.
