Dubai has become a global hub for video production, offering world-class facilities, diverse locations, and access to talent from across the region. Whether you're producing corporate films, commercials, or social content, understanding the local landscape is essential.
Why Produce in Dubai?
Diverse Locations: From desert dunes to ultramodern skylines, marina views to historic souks — Dubai offers incredible visual variety within a small geographic area.
Year-Round Production: While summer months require careful scheduling around heat, Dubai offers reliable production conditions most of the year.
Tax Advantages: Dubai's free zones and business-friendly environment make production financially attractive.
Regional Access: Dubai serves as an ideal base for productions spanning the GCC and beyond.
Types of Video Content
Corporate Films
Company profiles, internal communications, investor presentations. These require understanding of business culture and professional production values.
Commercial Advertising
TV spots, digital ads, and social campaigns. Success depends on cultural intelligence — what resonates in Dubai may not work in Riyadh or Mumbai.
Event Coverage
Capturing conferences, award shows, and activations. Our events division and production teams work seamlessly together.
Social Content
Short-form, mobile-first content designed for regional platforms. Speed and cultural relevance matter more than production polish.
Production Considerations
Permits and Approvals
Filming in Dubai requires permits from DTCM or relevant authorities. Experienced local production partners navigate this efficiently.
Cultural Sensitivity
Content must respect local customs and regulations. This includes modest dress standards, appropriate messaging, and awareness of cultural sensitivities.
Multi-Language Production
For campaigns targeting the GCC's diverse populations, consider producing in multiple languages from the start rather than dubbing.
Timeline Expectations
- Pre-production: 2-4 weeks for scripting, casting, and logistics
- Production: 1-5 days depending on scope
- Post-production: 2-4 weeks for editing, color, and delivery
