"Once Upon a Time in Dubai" whisks viewers away to the dazzling heights and shadowy depths of Dubai’s real estate empire. This riveting workplace drama unfolds within the glistening towers and sprawling developments that define one of the world's most ambitious cities. Here, Nido, a sharply intelligent but naïve newcomer, seeks his fortune, only to find himself in the cutthroat arena of property tycoons and architectural dreams. As Nido navigates betrayals and boardroom battles, he learns that in Dubai's high-stakes real estate game, every glittering skyscraper has its price and every dream its deadline. Mixing the sharp-suited intensity of "Suits" with the vibrant pulse of Dubai, this series maps the transformation of a young man and a city, both striving to make a mark on the world.
