Aerial Filming Dubai | Drone Operator in Dubai, Abu Dhabi & the UAE
“Creativity is just intelligence having fun.”
Albert Einstein
What We Do
We are a UAE-mainland licensed drone company providing aerial filming and drone operator services across Dubai, Abu Dhabi and the wider Emirates. Aerial filming in Dubai has become one of the fastest ways to capture the scale of the city — the geometry of the Burj Khalifa against the skyline, the palm-shaped coastline of Palm Jumeirah, the towers along Dubai Marina, or the fountains and boulevards of Downtown Dubai. We handle GCAA permits and coordinate directly with Dubai authorities, so production teams can focus on the shot instead of the paperwork.
Our aerial cinematography Dubai clients range from international commercial productions and TV broadcasters to local event organizers and hospitality brands. We use single-pilot drones to keep things simple, fast, and affordable without sacrificing quality — from feature films and TV shows to live sports coverage and corporate events.
Typical drone filming services Dubai productions request from us include:
– Cinematic aerial shots over Dubai landmarks — Burj Khalifa, Palm Jumeirah, Downtown Dubai, Dubai Marina, Dubai Creek Harbour
– Live event drone coverage for concerts, sports and brand activations
– Aerial photography and video for real estate, hospitality and tourism campaigns
– FPV drone filming for high-energy, immersive sequences
– Drone inspection for construction and infrastructure projects
Whether you need a drone operator in Dubai for a same-day commercial shoot, aerial cinematography over Palm Jumeirah for a hospitality campaign, or live event coverage along the Dubai Marina waterfront, we are fully permitted, insured and ready to fly across the emirate — as well as in Abu Dhabi and the rest of the UAE.

Frequently Asked Questions
Do I need a permit to fly a drone in Abu Dhabi or Dubai?
Yes. All commercial aerial filming in the UAE requires clearance from the GCAA, plus local approvals from authorities such as Abu Dhabi Police, the Ministry of Defence and the relevant media council. As a UAE-mainland licensed drone company, we manage the entire permit process for you — from the initial application to final approval — so you can focus on the shoot instead of the paperwork.
How long does it take to get an aerial filming permit in Abu Dhabi?
Filming permits in Abu Dhabi usually take between 5 and 15 working days to process, depending on the location and the type of shoot. We recommend starting the permit request as early as possible so approvals are ready before your shooting dates and nothing delays production. We handle the full application on your behalf and keep you updated throughout.
Are you licensed and insured to fly commercially in the UAE?
Yes. We operate as a fully licensed UAE-mainland drone company under GCAA authorisation, and we carry the third-party liability insurance required for commercial aerial operations across the Emirates. Every flight is planned to meet GCAA safety standards, so your production stays covered and compliant from take-off to landing, whether you are filming in Abu Dhabi, Dubai or elsewhere in the UAE.
Can you film on Yas Island, Saadiyat or the Corniche?
Yes. We regularly shoot aerial footage across Abu Dhabi, including Yas Island, Saadiyat and the Corniche, as well as Dubai and the wider Emirates. Each of these locations has its own permit requirements, and we arrange the specific approvals every site needs. Tell us where you want to film and we will confirm feasibility and handle the clearances.
What kind of drone work do you cover?
We cover a wide range of aerial work: commercials and TV shows, corporate videos, live event coverage and live broadcast, sports, and FPV. We use single-pilot drones to keep every shoot fast, simple and cost-effective without sacrificing image quality. From a single establishing shot to full multi-day productions, we adapt the setup to what your project needs.
Do you offer live broadcast from the drone?
Yes. We provide live aerial broadcast feeds for concerts, sports and large-scale events, delivering a real-time signal to your production. We have experience flying over packed stadiums, moving vehicles and fast-paced action while keeping the shot stable and safe. If your event needs live drone coverage, we can plan the setup and secure the permits it requires.
Can you fly across the wider UAE, not just Abu Dhabi and Dubai?
Yes. We are permitted to operate across all seven Emirates, not just Abu Dhabi and Dubai. Wherever your shoot takes place, we arrange the GCAA clearance and any local approvals that specific location requires. This means you can plan multi-location productions across the UAE with a single licensed drone team handling both the flying and the permits.
