UAE Film Permit Positions the Emirates as a Premier Global Filming Destination
Dubai, United Arab Emirates — From desert dunes and mountain ranges to futuristic skylines and pristine beaches, the United Arab Emirates offers filmmakers one of the most diverse ranges of backdrops in the world, all within a short drive of one another. UAE Film Permit, operator of UAEFilmPermit.com, is helping productions of every size turn that opportunity into reality by managing the permits required to film legally across the country.
The UAE’s appeal to international productions goes beyond scenery. The country offers year-round sunshine, cash rebate incentives of up to 30% for productions filming in Abu Dhabi, modern studio infrastructure, and strong global air connectivity through its major airlines. Locations that might otherwise require travel to multiple countries — heritage sites, urban skylines, coastline, and desert- sit within roughly 45 minutes of one another across the seven emirates.
Turning that potential into a finished shoot, however, depends on securing the right permits from the right authorities, a process that varies by emirate and by location type. UAE Film Permit manages this process on behalf of productions, coordinating with bodies such as the Dubai Film & TV Commission and Abu Dhabi Film Commission, as well as private landowners, to secure approvals typically within two to three working days.
Beyond permitting, the company supports productions with:
Location scouting matched to a project’s storyboard
Local crew and talent hire, from production staff to models and musicians
Filming equipment rental and on-site technical support
Customs clearance for incoming filming equipment
Airport and on-site transport
On-location catering
“The UAE has everything a production could want in terms of locations and incentives,” the company says. “Our job is to make sure the permitting process isn’t what stands between a production and the shot they came here for.”
UAE Film Permit works with independent photographers and content creators, as well as international film, television, and commercial production companies, and has offices in Dubai’s Business Bay.
