Paris Hilton‘s search for a new best friend has taken the heiress Stateside in the MTV reality series Paris Hilton’s My New BFF and even to Europe, as part of My British BFF. Now the hard-partying heiress is headed to the Middle East to find herself a new bud.

According to Variety, Hilton has inked a deal with Ish Entertainment to produce a Middle Eastern version of her popular MTV series, Paris Hilton’s My New BFF, set in Dubai.

In the new series, Paris will pit a group of woman – half originally from the Middle East and the other half made up of citizens from around the world currently living in Dubai – against one another to compete for the chance to be her new accessory.

While the Middle Eastern edition of BFF will function largely like it’s British and American counterparts, the socialite was expected to adhere to the strict behavioral guidelines enforced in the United Arab Emirates.
