‘Open Road’ chronicles Arab women bikers

On October 13, a new travel series The Open Road will chronicle two Arab women riders as they embark on an eventful journey.

In season one, the two women — Chantal from the UAE and Pamela from Lebanon — break social and cultural barriers on what the organisers call a life-changing journey as they ride across areas of the UAE, Lebanon and Jordan “It reinforces our vision to bring worldclass entertainment that is not only locally relevant, but locally produced,” said Sanjay Raina, general manager and senior vice-president of Fox Networks Groups. The Open Road will be screened at 8pm on a bouquet of Fox channels and on National Geographic Abu Dhabi, Star Movies and Star World.
