Why Choose the Middle East for Film Production?

Both Dubai and Abu Dhabi are well known for their culture and decadent qualities. With an assortment of hotels, bars, restaurants and high-end shops, the UAE has become one of the most visited places in the world.

While there are some laws regarding how foreigners should behave, the UAE is more welcoming and laid back than other middle eastern countries.

Our fixers have a lot of experience in working with locals and can help you secure permits to shoot in a city or desert location.

 

Dubai

Dubai is known for its mixture of stunning scenery and lively cities. One of the most famous landmarks is the Burj Khalifa, which is the world’s tallest building. Other popular locations include the sprawling malls with indoor ski slopes and designer stores.

If you want a cosmopolitan backdrop for your production, Dubai is the ideal location.

Filming in Abu Dhabi is popular because of its diverse locations, strong financial incentives like a 35%++ cashback rebate, and a world-class production infrastructure that includes skilled local crews and state-of-the-art facilities. The city offers a variety of backdrops, from deserts and coastlines to modern architecture, and the government provides significant support through assistance with permits and logistics, as well as a film-friendly environment. Abu Dhabi is also one of the safest cities in the region, which provides an added layer of peace of mind for productions.
