About the Show

One Show.
Every Industry. No Filter.

Deal Hunt is a Dubai business show. Each episode takes one industry and breaks it down from the inside — the business model, the real costs, the margins, the risks, and the people running it.

We cover restaurants, car rentals, yacht charters, beauty clinics, real estate development, banking, financial management, hotel operations, logistics, consulting, fashion, manufacturing — and many more. We go on location, talk to the operators actually running the market, and get into the numbers they rarely share publicly.

Whether you are an investor, an entrepreneur, or simply someone who wants to understand how Dubai's economy actually works — this is your seat at the table.

The Format

Three Operators.
One Industry.
One Verdict.

The Emerging Operator
01

The Emerging Operator

We start on the ground. A founder who built from scratch, still fighting to break even. Real setup costs. Real cash burn. The unfiltered reality of year one in Dubai.

The Established Player
02

The Established Player

A business that found its footing and scaled. We examine the operational mechanics, the margin evolution, and what it actually takes to grow in this market.

The Industry Giant
03

The Industry Giant

The apex of the market. We look at portfolio economics, competitive moats, and where the smart money is moving next. The ceiling of what is possible.

The Signature Moment

"At the end of every episode, we ask all three operators the exact same question — and cut their answers together. The contrast is where the truth lives."

03
What We Ask

The Questions
That Matter.

We ask the same core questions to every guest across every episode. Not to be formulaic — but because the contrast between a small operator's answer and an industry giant's answer to the exact same question is where the real intelligence lives.

The questions may vary depending on the industry and the guest, but the core discussion always revolves around numbers, facts, and first-hand experience of setting up and operating in this market.

Setup & Cash Burn
  • Walk me through the math of day one. What was the actual cash required to open the doors?
  • How long did it take to break even, and what was your monthly cash burn before you got there?
  • What is the one hidden cost in Dubai that nobody warned you about?
Revenue Model & Margins
  • Break down a $100 transaction for me. Where does that money actually go?
  • What is the most profitable part of your business — and what is the loss leader?
The Dubai Nuance
  • You've operated in other markets. What makes doing this business in Dubai fundamentally different?
  • What regulatory or licensing hurdle is unique to this city?
Risks & The Future
  • If I gave you $1M today to enter this market as a competitor, what specific niche would you attack?
  • What is the most common reason businesses in your industry fail within the first 24 months?
  • Is this market saturated, or is there still a deal to be found?
