The best influencers in Dubai aren’t simply the accounts with the most followers. Instagram, TikTok, and YouTube all show videos to people based on how the video performs individually, not just based on who follows the creator. As a result, a small or midsized account can reach more people than one several times its size.
That’s why we rank Dubai influencers by median views of their videos (the average number of people a typical video reaches). As of November 2026, the five most watched are Sara Alwari, Ghaith Marwan, Aliona, Fawad Ali, and Mila.
Sorted into seven kinds of content, from couple sketches to supercars. The number beside each name is the creator’s overall rank.
Married life and parenting, filmed at home. The top two accounts in the city are one couple.

We analyzed the 577 posts these 33 creators published on Instagram, TikTok, and YouTube in the last 30 days. Of those, 38 beat their creator’s usual views by 3× or more.
Here is how this month’s breakouts open, read from what each video says in its first seconds, or from its caption when nobody speaks.
“Night swim @thelanadubai”
Of the breakouts with a usable transcript, 11 had nobody speaking at all: a night swim at a Dubai hotel set to a song, fast-food orders unwrapped in silence, a dance reunion, a supercar arriving to music. In their everyday posts, these creators speak far more often.
Nael Abu Alteen 3.7M views · 19.1× their usualFor a brand, that means the product has to carry the shot on its own: the pool, the bag of fries, the suite with a view.
“Tomorrow is my first Karwa Chauth and I’m here getting ready for my first ever Huda Beauty Diwali event.”
These open on something that just happened or is about to: a first Karwa Chauth, a launch party, a lip kit made with a brand, a parcel from Huda Beauty. The viewer learns the news in the first sentence and stays to see it.
Nidhi Kumar 1M views · 3.2× their usualAli Majed alone supplies half, from an October spent announcing a lip kit and the products brands sent. Nidhi Kumar’s three are backstory from the first year of a marriage.
“لقيت لكم روج عبارة عن دا بيرفكت”
Ali Majed’s opening line promises the perfect nude-pink lipstick, and the viewer watches to judge it. The only other breakout of this kind is a doctor’s Reel that opens on a verse from the Quran.
Ali Majed 726K views · 7× their usualIt is a small pattern, two posts from two creators, and both come from people speaking on their own trade: a makeup artist and a doctor.
Ayman Al Yaman: “Today I interviewed the guy who interviews billionaires” reached 2.3M views, 8.3× their usual.
Queen of Supercars: “Queen spotted #bts #viralshorts #ferrari #fashion #dubai #fypシ” reached 2M views, 8.2× their usual.
Arezoo Muslemi: “Just a girl trying to enjoy her giant donut without sharing with her husband @sufiyanalman 🍩” reached 2.4M views, 7.2× their usual.
This table shows what the Dubai accounts on this list do at each size on Instagram, TikTok, and YouTube. Use it to judge whether a creator’s numbers are strong for their tier.
| Tier | Followers | Median views | Engagement | Posts a week | Sponsored posts |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Mid | Under 500K | 287K | 2.3% | 4.7 | 35% |
| Macro | 500K to 2M | 290K | 2.2% | 3 | 44% |
| Mega | Over 2M | 879K | 2.9% | 3.5 | 36% |
The figures are medians across these 33 accounts, from each account’s recent videos. “Sponsored posts” is the share of posts in the 90 days to Nov 6, 2026, that carry a paid-partnership or paid-promotion label or a stated sponsor, or are part of a brand campaign.
If you market a brand, a venue, or a launch in Dubai, these are the checks that matter before you send a brief.
Dubai’s audiences split by language more than by app. An Arabic-language beauty creator, a Hindi comedian, and an English food reviewer reach different people in the same mall, so decide who you need to reach first.
In the UAE, a person who publishes advertising on social media, paid or free, needs a permit from the National Media Authority. Few bios show the number, so ask for it with the rate card.
Many of the largest accounts here post with a brand more often than without one. Scroll the last month and compare the views on paid posts with the views on the creator’s own; a feed of back-to-back campaigns can wear out an audience.
A Dubai base does not mean Dubai content. Three of the creators here filmed most of their last 30 posts abroad, so if you need your venue or your city on screen, look at the last 30 locations, not the bio.
We identified and ranked these creators by searching hundreds of thousands of top-performing posts on Instagram, TikTok, and YouTube from Dubai with Klint.
We rank by median views across each creator’s recent videos, so one viral post can’t lift an account up the list. Creators of any nationality qualify if they live in Dubai or a town next to it, such as Sharjah, and this list includes creators who post in English, Arabic, Hindi, Urdu, Malayalam, and Tamil.
To get this list or a similar one for yourself, describe the creators you’re looking for in the Klint web app, or paste this prompt into any AI agent connected to Klint:
Find the top 33 influencers living in Dubai on Instagram, TikTok, and YouTube, in any language, ranked by median views across their last 30 videos or their last 90 days, whichever is lower.
Klint is trusted by 1,000+ marketers for AI-native influencer marketing.
As of November 2026 the top five Dubai influencers by median views are Sara Alwari, Ghaith Marwan, Aliona, Fawad Ali, and Mila.
Sara Alwari’s typical Reel reaches 13M people, the most in the city. The biggest following belongs to Supercar Blondie, with 17M followers on Instagram.
Mostly Instagram Reels. Of the 33, 26 get their biggest audience on Instagram, while TikTok leads for 4 and YouTube for 3. A creator with accounts on several apps appears under the one where a typical video gets the most views.
The list counts only creators who live in Dubai now, judged from their own posts. Huda Kattan’s posts from the last 90 days are tagged in Paris, London, and Monaco, and Khalid Al Ameri’s do not show whether the base is Dubai or Abu Dhabi. Azza Zarour, Joelle Mardinian, and Lojain Omran are off for another reason: each is known first as a singer, an actress, or a TV presenter.
Start with the creators who already post from places like yours: search the location tags of nearby malls, restaurants, or events and note who keeps appearing. To do it faster, ask Klint for Dubai creators by language, platform, and topic, for example Arabic-speaking beauty creators with more than 100,000 typical views.
Rates depend on the platform, the creator’s typical views, the language, and whether you want a Reel, a launch-event appearance, or a series. Many Dubai deals are hosted visits or event invitations rather than straight fees, and the creator needs a valid advertising permit either way.
Yes. Any creator can ask to be taken off Klint’s lists, and the request applies to every page they would otherwise appear on.
Are you on this list and would you rather not be? Write to privacy@tryklint.ai and Klint will take you off.
