Latifa is pretty and has an expensive taste and unlike the other influencers she doesn't need to fake a lifestyle because she actually comes from money, but I noticed that even she name drops too.

When Latifa had her blog she would always make sure to talk about her "best friend Meemo" or Maryam (sheikh Mohamed's insanely beautiful daughter with the Lebanese woman), but it seems they had a falling out and are no longer on speaking terms. They don't follow each other on IG and Latifa wasn't even invited to Maryam's wedding.

I wonder what did Latifa do that made Sheikha Maryam cut her off from her inner circle?

I feel that in UAE it doesn't matter how wealthy one is, Emirati or not, if you are not a Sheikh(a) you will constantly be walking on egg shells and kissing the ass of someone higher up.
Well done for Sheikha Maryam cutting her off. As modern some khaleejis can be, they are very very private. I can imagine that she didn't like her name being used /abused for someone else's personal gain. I think she didn't like that some people want to make themselves look better by the association with her. It's very poor taste.

Oh gawwd she just posted this!

Hassan needs to legally change his name to Hassan Kattan because from what I can see Mona has unofficially adopted him.








In another thread a post said that Mona is really mean and cut throat in real life. I have never met her and don't know her personally so I'm not going to make assumptions about her character, but based on her videos she comes off as super fake.

She's also a shameless social climber who threw many people under the bus-- people who were there from the beginning and helped her get to where she is today.

Britney Spears was an artist not an entrepreneur, so the comparison doesn't really hold. I don't think its possible for a capitalist business woman to be a "sweet soul" and a "kind lady" AND "super successful".. that's wishful thinking
I think I must have fell for the voice and the innocent act she has on her stories where she never really shows she’s inteligent but abit silly and obsessed with perfume 😂 like isn’t she supposed to have a background as a banker/finance? You just wouldn’t imagine it.

What do you guys think of the Dubai Porta Potty thing that's spreading around? Is it really that common?

I honestly think people should focusing more on exposing these men more than the escorts. That is disgusting, Muslims around the world are starving and poor but rich gulf Arab men are paying thousands to defecate on IG models. They don't deserve having money. 🤢🤮
The dubai WHAT ? First time hearing of this 😳

To begin with, the above mentioned figures are in Egyptian pound, so if you put them all together, it's not a scary number after all. I didn't say anything about him being generous, in fact I knew about him getting his gifts returned by Haifa, which is why "reasonably" I think that Yasmine was smart, and could've secured herself a contract before she got married. It could not be all of this money, but I don't think she left empty handed. Plus, just like anyone else on this forum, there was a rumor, in which I read and shared. whether it being true or false. You are more than welcome to prove my points wrong by stating the facts like you already did, but a little bit of respect won't harm you. As there's no point in belittling a generation for some rumor that was spread by the most popular pages on social media.
No disrespect intended considering its my generation too. and yes I do think its rather dumb, whether its the people believing these rumors or the pages spreading it. Any opinions/rumors are welcome but please do not insult my intelligence. These figures do not make any sense at all, Egyptian pounds or not. "An apartment in Sheikh Zayed which costs 54 miliion EGP?" ... suuuuure!





@DesertBlossom Sorry, i'm not familiar with the royals so who is Maryam and what does she do?
Sheikh Mohamed - the ruler of Dubai - has at least two daughters named Maryam.

This is the one I'm referring to. She's about the same age as Latifa.

I had the pleasure of meeting Mona and makeup artist Hindash in lpm Dubai, she was really sweet and we had a nice conversation despite her being with her friends. So I don’t understand what’s being said. Is she really going to keep her “fake” happy persona 24/7? Because that would take a lot of patience and commitment.

Any info on Zubaida aka butterhotshoes? It's like she's disappeared off the face of the earth.

She's another Iraqi that was often seen hanging out with Mona, Basma (Mona's now estranged business partner/ ex best friend) , and a bunch of other rich khaleeji girls for clout.

Last I heard she married an Emirati guy for the passport/citizenship.

UAE doesn’t give citizenship to spouses, perhaps if he is a royal. But a citizen 100% no.

Good on UAE for implementing laws that keep the leeches out. She'll at least get a passport so she can travel to nice places - something she couldn't do with her Iraqi passport.

Dima’s getting married in Lebanon today. I’m excited to see her dress, tho I have a feeling it will maybe be a bit underwhelming. I think she’s so beautiful tho and can pull of the most minimal looks.

She’s a really genuine girl. She does endurance horse racing now, pretty sure she never got married. She’s still friends with Mona and the same crew but is very dedicated to the equestrian life. She’s not a clout chaser at all.

Technically it is possible to apply for citizenship as the spouse of a local but there are various strict requirements. The wife of a local has to be listed in the jinsiya (family book) for at least 7 years (if they have kids together) or 10 years (without kids) before being eligible to apply, and then there are lots of interviews and background checks, Islamic and Arabic exams and so on. Some nationalities of spouse will find it easier to be approved than others. Dual citizenship isn’t permitted so anyone applying for the nationality will have to surrender their original citizenship (which ironically the nationalities that would most easily get approved are usually not willing to do). As a result there are not many cases of naturalisation through marriage happening these days. I know many that got the passport 15-20+ years ago as it was much easier back then. But in the past decade I’ve only personally known 3 wives of locals who got approved for it.

Mona is truly so sweet, I get why some people might think it comes across as sickly sweet to the point of being fake, but she really is always like that and always has been. Never witnessed or heard of her persona changing whatsoever. She and her hubs have known each other since high school days and seem really happy together.
