From Arrakis to Abu Dhabi: Tracking the Dune cast in the UAE

In this episode of Culture Bites, Enas Refaei and Farah Andrews give the scoop on the production of Dune: Part Three in Abu Dhabi. Filming for the third instalment of the sci-fi blockbuster is expected to start this month in the emirate’s Liwa desert. Leading cast members, including Timothee Chalamet and Zendaya, are expected to be arriving in the UAE soon. Jason Momoa was already spotted in Dubai last weekend. Farah reveals some behind the scenes details of the shoot in Abu Dhabi, including the hotel that the actors may be staying at. In the Arabic music scene, a bizarre saga may finally be coming to an end. Iconic music artist and composer Fadel Chaker has just surrendered himself to authorities after being on the run for a decade. The pop star was convicted for taking part in the 2013 clashes in Sidon that killed 18 Lebanese soldiers. Enas shares the artist’s story, his life in hiding and how he still made massively popular music despite being a fugitive.
