New Tourism Campaign For Dubai Features Gwyneth Paltrow, Kate Hudson And Zoe Saldana
Gwyneth Paltrow, Kate Hudson and Zoe Saldana, all of these Hollywood giants have been featured in the latest campaign video of Dubai Corporation for Tourism and Commerce Marketing (DCTCM) and the teasing videos look epic!
Three teasers have launched with the title A Story Takes Flight on Youtube, showing the leading ladies Gwyneth, Kate and Zoe exploring the Old Town of Dubai all the way to its desert.
“One of my favorite parts of traveling is to truly connect with a city, its people and the local culture,” says Gwyneth Paltrow, “Dubai is special because it’s a melting pot. Both the ones born here, who are so proud of their heritage, and those who are recent transplants, bringing with them their own values and traditions, contribute to writing the future story of the city. My time in Dubai was beyond anything I expected and there’s still so much more to see.”
“The variety Dubai gave me was perfect. I went from riding horses at sunrise to watching the sunset from 150 meters in the sky. I can’t wait to bring my boys here to continue the adventure.” Zoe Saldana says in her video.
While Kate Hudson said in a statement, “honestly, I was so grateful for the hospitality I received. I spent a lot of time exploring the winding streets of Old Dubai.”
“It’s incredible to find such a vibrant art and music community in the heart of such a modern, futuristic city – which is what most people think Dubai is. But really, the friendliness of the people is what made my visit amazing, and it’s why I’ll come back.” She added.
We can’t wait to see the rest of the campaign, especially with those teasers showing potential and looking promising.
The UAE has been ranked as the world’s best travel destination according to a new research conducted by the online travel agency, Love Holidays.
The agency did it research and looked into more than 3,000 destination awards that countries from across the world have won in the last five years, then divided the countries to six categories, travel, hospitality, destination, business, entertainment and conservation as to decide on the most award-winning city.
After which, the UAE has made it to the top of the list!
The agency also discovered that Burj Al Arab had won he World Travel Awards’ Middle East’s Leading All Suite Hotel award every year from 2015 and up until 2019! I mean talk about the most luxurious stay, it only makes sense to have the hotel at the top of every list.

This year has proved the true power of Arab women on the race track and now two female Emirati race drivers are getting ready for the F4UAE Trophy Round happening this weekend at the Yas Marina Circuit.
Meet Amna and Hamda Al Qubaisi, children of the UAE’s very first motorsport star, Khaled Al Qubaisi, who are proudly taking in the footsteps of their father and leaving a mark of their own on the race track.
Amna was the first female Emirati race driver to break out into the single-seaters ranking in 2018, she also competed in the Italian F4 championship, and was one of nine females to take part in the testing of a Formula E car for Envision Virgin Racing, soon after Saudi women were allowed to drive.
Her sister is quickly following in her footsteps and at the age of 17! She appeared twice alongside her sister during the Italian rally that happened this year.
Watch and support the thriving sisters race as teammates in the F4UAE series, proudly representing their homeland.
