The <a href=\"https:\/\/realitytvshrine.com\/tag\/reality-tv\">reality TV<\/a> star is an Emirati local and a hard-working businesswoman. She started her first company at the age of 15 and raised her son alone. Season 2 sees Sara embarking on a new journey in her love life.<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-meet-sara-s-date-akin-fontana\">Meet Sara&#8217;s date Akin Fontana<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>During RHODubai season 2, Sara is set up on a double date with Taleen Marie <a href=\"https:\/\/realitytvshrine.com\/shows\/rhodubai-taleens-husband-builds-some-of-worlds-most-iconic-buildings-and-stacks-millions-doing-it\">and her husband Raffi<\/a>, as well as their friend, Daniel.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Talk turns to aliens, and Daniel doesn&#8217;t seem put off.
