As DJ Khaled finds himself receiving a haircut in the middle of the desert, his strange journey in Dubai takes on the setting of a dreamlike situation, allowing him to fully immerse himself in the lively culture and warm hospitality of the area.
With the help of a local friend who is excited to show Khaled about their country’s riches and beauty, Khaled sets out on a journey unlike any other as the h…o.t sun beats down on the beautiful dunes of the Arabian desert. Away from the beauty and flash of the city’s towers, Khaled finds a different Dubai—a side rich in warmth, culture, and history.

Khaled finds a makeshift barbershop tucked away among the dunes, and the master barber there, whose abilities have been refined over generations, welcomes him with open arms. Khaled gets comfortable in the barber’s chair, ready to enjoy the extraordinary experience that lies ahead of him, while the wind from the desert whispers tales of ancient knowledge.
Khaled is taken to a peaceful state as the barber’s deft hands perform their magic, the soft rustle of palm fronds overhead blending with the steady snip of scissors. Encircled by the vastness of the desert, Khaled experiences a sense of calm and peace that surpasses language and cultural barriers, creating a bond that knows no bounds.
Khaled is left with a lasting imprint by the villagers’ friendship and generosity, as they embrace him as one of their own and share stories, laughs, and the joy of small pleasures among the breathtaking grandeur of the desert. It’s not just the haircut itself, though.
Together with Mike Tyson, DJ Khaled concludes his spiritual journey in Makkah, Saudi Arabia.
With his newly cut hair shining in the sun, Khaled leaves the desert oasis with a renewed respect for the kindness and generosity of the people of Dubai in addition to the recollection of a singular and unforgettable experience. Khaled’s journey serves as a potent reminder of the transforming power of connection and the universal language of kindness in a world too often defined by separation and hostility.
