Arabian Friends (صديقات عربيات) is a line of dolls (دمى) released around 2007. The dolls were created by the United Arab Emirates-based company NEWBOY (نيوبوي) and appear very similar to the Winx Club Giochi Preziosi dolls from Italy- reusing sculpts for body, shoes and heads.
The dolls appear to have had some kind of show but the only traces known at this time are found in advertisements for licensed product. It is unknown if the licensed products officially released.
