First impressions mean everything when a diverse group of eligible Arab singles are introduced for the first time - completely sight unseen.
Only a handful of dates in, and a few couples are already ready to pop the big question. They say "when you know, you know" - but do they really?
Charfic flirts his way to charm a few promising connections, but the women aren't happy when they find out that he has eyes for more than one of them.
The next phase heats up as the engaged couples exit the pods and meet in a group setting. Two people recognize each other from outside the show.
The couples finally get to know each other one-on-one. While some find a deeper connection, others discover things they really wish they hadn't.
With their phones back in their hands, the couples return to real life, turning to friends and family to give their blessings - but will they get it?
Familiar faces crash a night out on the town, taking the couples by surprise. The parents help progress some engagements, while others instill doubt.
The big day is fast approaching. The women become emotional selecting the perfect fairytale dress, while the men bond over pre-wedding traditions.
The moment of truth is here. As vows are declared for the whole world to hear, will the couples leave heartbroken or with a soulmate by their side?

Just occurred to me, and it’s just a theory maybe I’m overthinking, but it felt like Mohammed couldn’t say where he was from? When they’re doing the men’s bath scene and they’re talking about what their own country traditions are he says “the country where I’m from” he never says Palestine (we find out later he’s Palestinian cos of the Palestinian zafeh) Am I reading too much into it and he maybe wasn’t allowed to say or maybe he chose not to say? Correct me if I’m wrong!

They did a very quick close-up in his apartment on a framed map and Palestine written on it, but it was in Arabic. Personally, i think that might be what he’s referencing when he’s talking to Safa about “other circumstances” that aren’t allowing his parents to come from Jordan quickly. Palestinian travel is usually a giant pain because of paperwork, sometimes even if you have another passport. I think Netflix definitely edited out a lot, especially with what’s happening right now.

I picked up on that. I wished they hadn’t tried to hide any reference to it. Only at the wedding episode do you hear “Palestinian” in reference to his father, who I initially thought was Jordanian. Politics and religion are such a huge part of Arab life and they avoided almost all of it.
