Dubai travel: Virat Kohli, Anushka Sharma star in first joint campaign for city

Indian cricket star Virat Kohli and his wife and Bollywood actress Anushka Sharma, are showing the world a new side of Dubai in their first-ever travel campaign together — and it’s nothing like the typical tourist video.
Launched by Dubai’s Department of Economy and Tourism, the campaign titled “Dubai: Ready for a Surprise” features the celebrity couple exploring the city through unforgettable moments, thoughtful surprises, and hidden gems that even longtime UAE residents might not know about.
The beautifully filmed video, now live on YouTube and social media, follows the couple as they take time away from their busy lives to enjoy Dubai’s unique mix of luxury, adventure, and culture. From peaceful mornings at AURA Skypool, the world’s highest 360° infinity pool, to heart-racing parasailing over the coastline, the campaign captures the emotional side of travel and connection.
In the video, Virat and Anushka plan little surprises for each other, making the experience more meaningful and personal. Along the way, they also explore culinary hotspots, cultural hideaways, and musical moments that bring the city to life beyond its glittering skyline.
The campaign isn’t just about famous landmarks — it’s about discovering the soul of Dubai through love, laughter, and the little things that make a journey special. Whether you’re visiting for the first time or have lived here for years, it’s a reminder that there’s always more to see in this ever-evolving city.
With its warm storytelling and emotional appeal, “Dubai: Ready for a Surprise” is now reaching global audiences online, offering a fresh perspective through the eyes of two global icons who’ve made it personal.
