The Sudanese, Dubai-based model Nour (Nwara) Yahya is joining the pods on the international Emmy-nominated Love Is Blind Habibi Season 2 on Netflix, launching globally on 12 November.
She is the first and only Sudanese to ever be casted in Love Is Blind Habibi, and the second Sudanese to ever to join a TV dating show.
Nour’s casting comes shortly after the debut of first-ever Sudanese contestant on a dating show. Rim is a 21-year-old Sudanese on the ongoing Quwet El Hob show (The Power of Love), a new Arabic reality dating series on Amazon Prime Video, where she has already met a match, Khalid from Lebanon.
The pods are reopening, bringing together a fresh group of singles from across the Arab world, hailing from countries including Algeria, Bahrain, Egypt, Iraq, Jordan, Kuwait, Lebanon, Morocco, Saudi Arabia, Sudan, Syria, and Tunisia. Each brings their own unique stories, personalities and background with the hope of finding their forever person. Ready to take the leap of faith, these hopeful romantics are embarking on an unforgettable journey to find genuine connections that go beyond physical appearances. New faces, new love stories and a whole new rollercoaster of emotion, Season 2 promises to turn up the romance, raise the stakes and put love to the ultimate test.
Hosted by Arab celebrity couple Rym Saidi and Wissam Braidy, the 10-episode series blends the magic of romance with the region’s cultural landscape and a fresh batch of singles ready to take the ultimate leap of faith in the name of love: saying “I do”.
Yahya, 30, is UAE-based model and internet personality. In March 2026, she made headlines for her debut on the international fashion stage, walking for Chanel on 9 March 2026, as part of Paris Fashion Week. The show, held at the Grand Palais, saw Yahya walk the runway wearing pearlescent knits and paint-like tweeds paired with red Chanel heels.
While she is well-known for her work with various fashion and beauty brands in the region, she has recently added acting to her resume. She was recently cast as a lead in the Saudi Arabian film Scholarship.
