Lebanon's Reality TV: Like The Kardashians, Only Less Serious

posted on: Mar 30, 2015

The Abdelaziz sisters live in a world of pretty artifice. Alice, Nadine and Farah answer the door in a flurry of hellos while their fluffball dog Stella barks and tinkles the bells on her tiny collar.

They usually live in the Lebanese capital, Beirut, in a family home, but for the purposes of their new reality show, The Sisters, they reside in this apartment where green hillsides spill down from picture windows to the Mediterranean below.

“The view is amazing here,” says Nadine, the middle sister. “And you see the weather today is sunny.”

The twentysomethings are all tall and thin with big eyes and dark hair. The furniture is in kids-toy colors, the walls are white. A makeup artist is doing Alice’s face – glosses and sparkles spread across the dining table. Vases of Skittles adorn the coffee table.
