We can help you find the perfect filming location in Dubai, whether you’re producing a commercial, TV series, documentary, or online content. Dubai offers a wide range of scenic and diverse settings that can match almost any creative vision. With its mix of modern architecture, natural beauty, and cultural landmarks, the city has become a popular destination for international film and media productions.
Filming on private property in Dubai requires written approval (NOC) from the location owner. Our team will assist with all aspects of location scouting—from initial research and recommendations to negotiating access, arranging recce visits, and handling the paperwork required for permits. We ensure that every location is fully approved and ready before your shoot, helping you avoid delays and stay focused on production. Whether you need a high-rise rooftop, a quiet alleyway, or a luxury villa, we’ll help you find it and get the green light to film.
Contact UsOur Location & Fixer service covers everything from scouting ideal shooting sites in Dubai (beaches, hotels, heritage buildings, deserts, etc.), arranging recce visits, securing access permissions (NOCs) from private property owners, negotiating fees, handling location-paperwork and all required approvals, to ensuring the site is ready on shoot day.
We manage the full permissions process: obtaining written NOCs (No Objection Certificates), ensuring compliance with municipal and property owner rules, coordinating with local authorities where required, and securing any necessary government or regulatory permits. This helps avoid legal delays or shoot cancellations.
It depends on the type of location, its ownership status (public vs private), complexity, and how busy the approvals agencies are. Usually, a simple location can be scouted and approved in a few days, but for heritage sites, high traffic areas, or private luxury properties, it might take one to two weeks (or more). We assist you throughout to plan realistically.
We work with a wide variety of location types, including but not limited to beaches, parks, bridges, malls, commercial areas, historic / heritage buildings, landmarks (like Burj Khalifa, Dubai Frame), hotels & resorts, private villas, skyline views, deserts, waterfronts, and residential neighborhoods.
Costs vary based on factors such as location access fees, property owner charges, permit fees, complexity of negotiation, number of recce visits needed, and any special logistic requirements. We provide tailored quotes after understanding your script / shoot requirements and preferred locations.
