Not content with finding a 'best friend forever' in the U.S. and Britain, Paris Hilton is now searching for a companion in Dubai.

The heiress arrived at a press conference there last night to launch My New Best Friend Forever - Dubai, dressed in a lime-green, traditional flowing Arabian gown complete with dazzling jewellery and an ornate headdress.

The series will see her audition for friends in the United Arab Emirates, where she is currently staying to film the show over the next four weeks.

However she will have to tone down some of the racier elements of the show, so not to fall foul of the country's strict morality codes.

The socialite will be filming scenes in Dubai’s waterfront Festival Centre during her stay as wannabe hangers-on are put through a series of challenges to prove their worth.

Currently in development, the centre already boasts around 400 shops and teams of restaurants and cafes.

Paris acknowledged the press last night with the traditional Arabic greeting 'Asalaam Alaikum,' and said she was delighted to be in Dubai for the first time.

'Dubai’s really hot,' she said, using her well-known catchphrase.

'It’s an amazing city and the women are beautiful out here.'

She added: 'A lot of people in Hollywood are fake and I am looking for someone who is very loyal and a real person I can trust.

'And I’m going to come up with a new catchphrase while I’m here - using some Arabic words!'

Her arrival to Dubai made front page news and the 28-year-old star also left gushing posts on her Twitter page.

'I Love Middle Eastern Culture and Fashion, so beautiful!'

And in another Tweet, she wrote: 'Dubai Rocks! :) yay,' in response to an article about her in the local press.

The second season of the American version of the show is currently airing on U.S. television.

Brittany Flickinger was the winner of the show's first season in December of last year however she and Paris are no longer 'best friends' or even friends for that matter.

Paris said: 'I loved her and I trusted her, but sometimes people get too caught up and they change.'
