Inside Dubai: Playground of the Rich

[purpleme12]

I love that they've channel and Hermes life buoys if they need them 🤣

Two kitchen!!
One not for smelly food!!

They've got a lift in their house! Love watching these programmes!

I watched it. It was certainly eye opening

It was interesting. I can't believe the car salesman for the same coloured car wrap as the rich teenager.

I can't watch shows like this now without thinking of all the insta "influencers" and "models" going out there to be shit on by rich men for a ton of cash! Don't believe me, google Dubai porta potty and you will not believe what these middle Eastern rich men are getting these young women to do. It's sickening.

It was fascinating to watch how the other half lived. Glad I'm not that half though.

I can’t watch shows like this either. A work colleague once told me about his female friend who regularly travelled to Dubai for sex. The girl received lots of money but her health deteriorated rapidly because of the sexual abuse she was put through.

Celebrities paid up to a million pounds to attend the hotel launch!!

I'm on catch up but 'the Mugabes throw amazing new years eve parties?'

I had to turn it off after a few minutes. I usually love a glossy reality doc but those people were awful.

We had a fantastic life in Dubai but from the sounds of it this programme would be out of touch with our reality too ........

The lad did not look at all impressed

Why would you even go to the Mugabe's NYe party let alone say how great it was etc

A hotel didn't let him in because he didn't have a special numberplate?! Really?!!

How did they do the picture of her on the coffee?!

She's only seen her son once a year the whole of his life
How sad ☹️

It's eye opening isn't it?

It also shows that money absolutely does not buy class. Or taste.

Just Can't get my head around the extravagance of that family in the limousines

It seems obscene in the great scheme of things

It does seem obscene but out of all the luxuries the one thing I would really love is to travel like that. Private planes, private area in airport, limousines. That’s the way to do it!!

The most obscene element of it all is the hidden slave labour used to build those skyscrapers and the countless marine habitats destroyed in the sand dredging that took place to create artificial beaches. The fact that whole communities are gated away from the real world. I thought it was incredibly weird how woman with that annoyingly behaved girl kept referring the the leader's books.... like, what is she trying to prove?

Hideously naff individuals, especially the women who needs to have lifebuoys printed with Chanel! What is the point of that?!! Also don’t get me started on her hideously brattish and spoilt child.

Just watching now and it's actually really upset me. I know it's shock tv for ratings but having lived in Dubai for most of my life, I don't recognise it at all. Yes, there obviously are people who live and act like this just like there are in London, New York or Shanghai but 95% of the population are just living a normal life; work/school, groceries, dinner, sleep, do it all again. Just like Made in Chelsea or Real Housewives aren't reflective of everyone's life in the UK, not is this. To be taken with a shovel full of salt!

"Can people go on the pull here?"
Man silently shakes head and says "We can't talk about that."

Is that not weird?? I get the cultural element but it is unsettling to see people consciously censure themselves.

I want to watch this! What channel was it on please?
