If you love watching real people stumble and elate on their journey of finding love, Netflix’s latest announcement will be a welcomed one. Coming soon to the favoured streaming platform is Love Is Blind UAE, the hit social experiment reality show.
The originally American show, that has since expanded to Brazil, Japan and Sweden, is now getting an Arab edition. The reality series entails putting a group of single men and women in rooms with walls separating them. We watch as they meet different people get to know each others values and desires, before laying eyes on one another. It is only when a marriage proposal is bestowed that they physically see each other.
And that’s when the fun starts.
From the stresses of family, wedding planning, and making room for the sudden fiancé(e) in their life, the drama of who makes it to the altar is juicy. With some delightful moments of love, and unbeatable scenes of betrayal, Love Is Blind UAE promises to pull at the heartstrings, while boggling some minds.
With all the insider details, GRAZIA brings you a sneak peek of what’s to come as the hit Netflix reality show makes its way to the GCC.

Captioned “Is love really blind?”, the Netflix MENA account just posted a quick teaser of the new series to their millions of followers. Featuring hosts Elham Ali and Khaled Saqer, a series of singles flash through, with their identity and faces kept hidden. A glistening shot of an engagement ring lingers on the screen as the familiar Dubai cityscape offers a gleaming backdrop.
Initially, the participants are put in separate rooms with only a speaker to hear the voice of their potential partner. After a series of conversations over a few weeks, some decide they have aligned on enough values and goals to build a future with someone. After an intense face-to-face proposal, the newly engaged couple enjoys a romantic getaway before returning home to an apartment together.
While the nay-sayers doubt some of the connections this reality show breeds, some couples have withstood the test of time. Notable fan favourites Lauren Speed and Cameron Hamilton, who met and got married in season one of Love Is Blind, have remained steadfast in their commitment to one another. With millions of followers since wrapping their on-screen love story, fans of the couple continued following their journey on socials.
With two beloved Saudi actors as hosts, Love Is Blind UAE is set to rock the nation in many ways. From all-consuming intensity to swooning emotions, this reality show will certainly make waves.
