Watch: Dubai’s viral robot Bu Sunaidah ‘marries’ fellow robot Moza — the robot announces wedding to fellow robot Moza

Dubai's Bu Sunaidah, a humanoid robot, has gained fame for its unique wedding-themed celebration with fellow robot Moza. The event, which featured traditional Emirati customs, was shared on social media, amassing over 41,000 likes and 109,000 shares in just three days.¹⁵

The post included a digital invitation adorned with a Quranic verse, inviting followers to the celebration on August 1. The ceremony showcased Bu Sunaidah dressed in traditional attire, participating in wedding customs such as stick dancing and a fireworks display.

Despite the festive atmosphere, the event is not a legal marriage but rather a creative production aimed at engaging online audiences. The robot's creators, the SS Lootah Group, have not addressed the implications of staging such a ceremony, which raises questions similar to those sparked by Bu Sunaidah's previous appearances at religious events.

The wedding-themed posts have ignited discussions about the role of technology in cultural settings, with many users congratulating the robotic couple while others critique the blending of tradition and modernity. Bu Sunaidah has become a fixture at UAE public events, previously gaining attention for its participation in Eid celebrations and other cultural activities.

As the conversation continues, the event highlights the intersection of technology and Emirati culture, showcasing how robots can engage with and reflect local traditions.⁶
