Where We Film in Dubai
Filming in Dubai
Our Dubai-based video crew serves the entire emirate, from the financial hubs in DIFC and Business Bay to major exhibitions at the Dubai World Trade Centre. Because our team is local, we handle all Dubai Film and TV Commission (DFTC) permits and logistics for you, saving you the cost of flying in a crew. We also provide seamless coverage for multi-city projects, with teams ready in Abu Dhabi and Qatar.
Venues We Film At in Dubai
We film at Dubai's most prestigious event venues, from the Dubai World Trade Centre to grand luxury resorts like Madinat Jumeirah and the Grand Hyatt. Our Dubai crews specialize in high-profile international conferences, product launches, and luxury corporate events.

Major Dubai events complex whose Exhibition Halls 1-8 offer over 31,000 sq m, alongside the Sheikh Saeed Halls. A larger Dubai Exhibition Centre is being built at Expo City.

Producerโs Note:
Operating in the UAE requires strict adherence to Dubai Film and TV Commission (DFTC) permitting and extreme heat management for sensitive cinema equipment. For massive global summits at the DWTC, our crews deploy localized wireless audio networks to ensure crystal-clear sound amidst thousands of international attendees.
Filming in Dubai
What to know before you shoot in Dubai
Filming permits and public-space rules
Dubai has a single gatekeeper for media filming. Under Executive Council Resolution No. 50 of 2014, the Dubai Film and TV Commission (DFTC) is the sole body that licenses media filming in the emirate, and that includes free zones and special development zones such as DIFC. Before issuing a permit it coordinates with the public and private entities involved, and any entity whose location is used has to approve the application.
Khaleej Times' 2024 explainer of the DFTC process says filming goes through a licensed UAE-based production house, with script approval first, which can take up to 25 business days. It also reports that events are among the activities not needing a filming permit. Do not treat that as a blanket pass for an event film: the venue still controls access, and any street scenes, city footage or brand content filmed around the event may fall outside the exemption. Ask the DFTC about your exact shoot.
The penalties make this worth settling early. The resolution sets fines of AED 25,000 for filming without a permit or for unauthorised purposes, and AED 15,000 for unauthorised locations, days or times. Repeat violations within a year double, up to AED 50,000, and the DFTC can suspend or ban filming.
Content matters as well as location. The same explainer notes that filming must not disrespect UAE culture and values, and that changes after a script is submitted are not allowed. Agree interview topics and locations before the application goes in, not on the day. Rules and fees change, so confirm them with the DFTC before each shoot.
- Dubai airports: commercial shoots need a DFTC location permit through a local production agency, plus written permission from Dubai Airports. Crews may not engage with passengers without written permission.
- Airport airside work: requests are due 15 working days before filming, and each crew member needs a security pass.
- Airport landside work: approved requests with complete documents can be processed within 3 working days, and written permission from Dubai Police is also needed.
Drone rules
Treat aerial footage in Dubai as a project of its own. Law No. 4 of 2020 requires a Dubai Civil Aviation Authority (DCAA) permit before anyone pilots or uses an unmanned aircraft, requires drones to be registered, requires operators to carry third-party liability insurance, and limits operations to approved areas. Filming or photographing facilities, buildings or restricted areas also needs a permit from the relevant entities.
The DCAA's commercial regulation, DCAR-UAS (published February 2025), classes photography as a commercial activity. An operator needs basic category authorisation at minimum for photography and filming, and advanced authorisation for more advanced work. Each mission then needs its own approval, based on location, altitude, date and time, and flying without a valid DCAA no-objection certificate is a violation of the law. The regulation also flags possible extra sign-off from the Ministry of Defence where filming is part of the mission, and from Dubai Air Navigation Services in controlled airspace or above 400ft.
One piece of history is worth knowing. Khaleej Times reported in January 2022 that all drone permits and no-objection certificates in Dubai had been suspended until further notice. The 2025 regulation shows the DCAA has since set out a commercial framework, but approvals may not be granted freely, so check with the DCAA before promising drone shots to anyone.
The business event calendar and districts
Dubai's event map now has two centres. Dubai World Trade Centre (DWTC) sits in the central business district, while Dubai Exhibition Centre (DEC) at Expo City is undergoing a US$2.7bn expansion. GITEX Global, the region's big technology show, moved to DEC for its 2026 edition after its long run at DWTC, and Gulfood now spreads across both sites.
A crew booked for 'GITEX' or 'Gulfood' therefore needs the exact hall and venue, because the two sites are separate. Reports of the late 2026 calendar put these shows on it:
- GITEX Global: 8-11 December 2026 at DEC, with a summit programme alongside it (reports differ on its dates and venue, so check with the organiser).
- Big 5 Global, the construction show: 23-26 November 2026.
- Automechanika Dubai: 10-12 November 2026 at DEC.
- Wetex, on water, energy and technology: 20-22 October 2026 at DWTC.
- Arabian Travel Market: 14-17 September 2026 at DWTC.
- Middle East Energy: 1-3 September 2026 at DWTC.
Practical logistics
The Dubai Metro Red Line runs direct to Expo 2020 station on Route 2020, the obvious link for crew travelling light to DEC. Anyone carrying a full kit should allow extra time between the two event sites, particularly on a day that covers both.
Heat shapes the schedule more than almost anything else. Dubai's government protocol office describes summers of about 35-41C with humidity of 60-100%. Outdoor interviews and exterior shots are far easier in the milder months, and in summer they are best kept short and early or late in the day. Moving cold equipment into humid air can also fog lenses, so allow time for kit to acclimatise before an exterior.
The working week also affects approvals. The protocol office says the federal government sector works four and a half days from Monday, with Friday a half day and the weekend on Saturday and Sunday. A permit query sent on Friday afternoon may well wait until Monday, so build that into a tight timeline.
Keep the permit paperwork on site. DCAA rules require the drone no-objection certificate to be available with the operator during the flight, and it is sensible to do the same with location approvals.
Rules change, so confirm them before you shoot. Sources:
