"The show will further emphasize Hydra's association with innovation and leadership in the UAE and the International real estate development arena. The show will aim to educate and entertain, while simultaneously tapping international Entrepreneurial talent to start their Real Estate venture in the richest and fastest growing development market in the world, Abu Dhabi.
Upon their selection, contestants will fly to the capital city of Abu Dhabi where they will spend their first 2 weeks in boot camp to learn the art of the real estate deal and how to identify various playing fields. Following this they will be split into 2 mixed teams to compete in real estate business assignments for a three month period.

It's not a job that we give them it's a career in the U.A.E. The competition will be fierce because it's 2 countries Britain and the United States in 2 separate teams battling it out in an Arab country. During this time the 16 contestants will also be introduced to the crème du la crème of the UAE's business society enabling them to establish the needed networks. These Entrepreneurs selected by Dr. Sulaiman will help guide the contestants giving them tips and advice as they go through their various business dealing.
"This all English reality show will be amongst the first of its kind for the Middle East audience and also the first involving the real estate sector in the region" said Mr. Marc- Antoine d'Halluin CEO of Showtime Arabia "We are delighted to be part of this great endeavor that Hydra has chosen and feel that this is one of the most creative shows that we've seen
Hydra Executives is more than just a Reality Show. The show is a creative project, not confined to the traditional but rather looks at the diversity of doing business in interconnected societies.
"No longer are business themes topics of conversation limited to boardrooms but are also mentioned in many social settings," Al Fahim points out. The show's unfolding program saga pits an American team against the British team in countless twists, challenges, the elimination process, and the real time creation of an international business venture will create fierce competition..
