Background:
Hydra Properties LLC
plan to announced the Launch and casting for the first International reality TV
series “The Hydra
Executives”. Casting begins on December 15 in Hollywood and will
feature a cast of budding American and British entrepreneurs to be filmed in
Abu Dhabi, but broadcast entirely in English. The reality TV series is the
brainchild of CEO Sulaiman Al-Fahim, Hydra Properties LLC, a leading Abu
Dhabi-based international real estate company and the key backer of the
show. Abu Dhabi Tourism Authority and
Chamber of Commerce and Industry are also sponsoring the show. According to
Fahim around $5 million would be spent on the first season. The executive
boardroom-style program is currently being shopped for global distribution in
March 2008. It is being produced in association with Showtime Arabia, which is
partly owned by Viacom, and Dubai’s Infinity TV.
“We are inviting 16 entrepreneurs, eight Americans and eight Brits, to Abu
Dhabi in the United Arab Emirates to compete against each other for 15 weeks,”
said Al-Fahim. “Contestants will fly to
the capital city of Abu Dhabi where they will spend their first 2 weeks in boot
camp to learn the art of the real estate deal and how to identify various
playing fields. Following this they will be split into two mixed teams to
compete in real estate business assignments for a three month period.” At the
end of the competition one winner will walk away with the grand prize worth $1
million to set up his or her own style real estate venture.
