Nina Ali Says She Will Not Return to The Real Housewives of Dubai

Nina Ali says she will not be returning to The Real Housewives of Dubai. Nina was among the group of ladies featured in the cast for the debut season of RHODubai, which premiered on Bravo in 2022. She confirmed her exit in a statement on Instagram on Monday, January 30.

“It was an honor to be a part of the debut season of The Real Housewives of Dubai, and to help [Bravo] bring this beloved franchise to the city I call home. I’m grateful to the network, Andy Cohen, and the team at Truly Original for welcoming me into this extended family and for embracing the diversity of riches Dubai has to offer,” she wrote on Instagram. “2023 has already brought many exciting opportunities my way, including an emerging new business, new home and new adventures, so for now I’ll be moving my attention away from the show to allow myself the space to focus on new challenges… I wish my fellow Housewives all the best moving forward. I’ll be cheering you on!”

During her time on RHODubai, fans got to know Nina and follow her journey as a mom (clip above), wife, and entrepreneur as a co-founder of her premium fruitcake business. 

They also watched as she found herself in some drama with her equally fashionable pals, naturally. “If you think money can’t buy you happiness, you clearly haven’t been to Dubai,” Nina noted about her life in the famous city in her RHODubai Season 1 tagline. For a woman who was willing to pay anything for a license plate, we believe her.
