From drama to romance to unbelievable sass, the Dubai Bling one liners are like nothing else. Sometimes short phrases and other times a mouthful of cheek, it had us gasping all season long.
From conversation enders, to new lingo to add to your 2024 vocab list, the Arab stars overdeliver in this department.
GRAZIA rounds up all the viral an ever loved comebacks that have arose from this season.
“Jealous? You’re like an Alibaba version of me. Relax!”
Telling someone to calm down in the midst of a heated argument never goes well. But it especially doesn’t bode nicely if it’s after calling them a “dupe.” In the middle of a back and forth between the Emirati café owner Danya and the ever-so-feisty Safa, an iconic line was said.
“I’m not playing hard to get, I am hard to get.”
The epitome of knowing your worth, the sweet and beautiful Loujain Adada came through with an undeniably hard-hitting line this season. While some people act unavailable to come off as uninterested and exclusive, LJ sees no need in that. Not only because she believes in being real in everything she does, but also because she doesn’t need to act like she’s untouchable, she simply is untouchable.
“Google me”
Simple, yet effective. As the Dubai Bling stars continue to amass success and fame, the online chatter that follows them grows as well. But Farhana wants to use that to her advantage. While on a date, the professional boxer she is sitting across from asks for her name. And instead of responding to the simple question the way most would, she hits him two words, “Google me.”
“The son of a king, and the son of a queen”
The love and respect you have for your parents should always be number one, and that is certainly the case for Ebraheem Al Samadi. In season two he declared he is “the son of a king and the son of a king”. And what does that make him?
“Therefore, that makes me a prince,” the reality star affirmed. The newly married entrepreneur has a knack for Dubai Bling one liners, as he had some iconic one from last season as well. This one is different though. It’s not fiery or mean spirited, its simple and uncomplicated.
Push Present
While hair accessories don’t technically count as a line, the Birkin-obsessed fashionista finds a way to say something even when she’s not speaking. As a little nudge to her husband, Safa wears a series of hair clips adorned with bedazzled requests. From “Push Present” to “Buy Me a Birkin”, her demands aren’t small, but her beloved Fahad never under-delivers.
“Coffee Boy”
While it doesn’t seem like a biting comment by itself, in the intense scene it was said at, it most definitely was. In an attempt to reconcile the longstanding feud between Ebraheem and Zeina, DJ Bliss takes the two aside amidst a Kayali event by new cast member Mona Kattan. One thing led to another, and suddenly Zeina’s husband pops out to shoot an insult at the serial café owner Ebraheem labelling him “coffee boy”.
Farha and Marha
Again, not necessarily a Dubai Bling one liner, but the punchy duo Zeina and Safa have other names for themselves. “The Farha to my Marha,” the lovingly joke to one another. In main Arab cultures, their terms are used to describe an inseparable pair, based on an old TV show about two best friends. While it’s been a rocky time for their friendship this season, the two have managed to overcome their riff and continue their friendly love affair.
