Frequently Asked Questions — Dubai Crew
Do I need a filming permit in Dubai?
Yes — filming in Dubai requires a permit from the Dubai Film and TV Commission (DFTC). Assignment Desk handles the permit application process, which typically takes 5-7 business days for standard productions.
Are there restrictions on what can be filmed in Dubai?
Dubai has specific content guidelines. Productions must respect local customs and laws. Assignment Desk advises on content requirements during the planning phase to ensure smooth permit approval.
What is the best time of year to shoot in Dubai?
October through April offers the most comfortable weather (20-30°C). Summer months (June-September) can exceed 45°C, making outdoor shoots extremely challenging. Indoor and evening shoots are possible year-round.
Can Assignment Desk provide Arabic-speaking crew?
Yes — we source bilingual Arabic/English crews in Dubai. Many local crew members are multilingual, speaking English, Arabic, and often Hindi or Urdu as well.
How does Dubai compare to other Middle East locations?
Dubai offers the most developed production infrastructure in the region, with Abu Dhabi, Doha, and Riyadh as growing alternatives. Assignment Desk can coordinate multi-city Gulf region productions.
