In the unscripted series, Anil Kapoor and Maniesh Paul will be seen engaging in various activities, from the thrilling Edge Walk in Dubai to a leisurely stroll in Al Fahidi. The itinerary also includes a game of Padel and indulging in the delights of Atlantis The Royal. The show concludes with a finale featuring a guest appearance from Emirati singer Arqam Al Abri.
Reflecting on the experience, Anil Kapoor shared, "Working on 'Once Upon A Trip! To Dubai' has been a journey of rediscovery, both of the incredible city of Dubai and within myself. More than a project, it was a journey of the heart. Whenever I have explored Dubai, I have not only just encountered stories; I discovered pieces of myself in every corner."
He continued, "There's a raw and real quality to this experience, so different from the scripted roles I’m used to. It's about forming genuine connections, embracing laughter, and the unexpected surprises along the way. This show particularly has allowed me to see Dubai with a sense of wonder and authenticity."
Directed by Satyajit Kadam, the show promises to offer a novel narrative that goes beyond the conventional travel show format, with the picturesque landscapes of Dubai serving as the perfect backdrop for their spontaneous road trip.
Maniesh Paul expressed his enthusiasm for the show, stating, "‘Once Upon A Trip! To Dubai’ was an adventure like no other, blending my love for traveling with the uncharted wonders of Dubai.

He added, "The streets of Dubai aren’t just backdrops; they’re alive with stories and unexpected turns, much like my own journey that I shared with AK. This show has been a revelation, showing me the power of impromptu moments and the genuine connections that come from shared laughter and experiences."
