Travel & Logistics Services
Complete travel coordination and logistics for productions across United Arab Emirates.
Here is how this works in practice. Travel logistics for film production in the UAE cover the planning and planning of global flights into Dubai International (DXB) and Abu Dhabi International, ground transport, lodging, visa processing, gear shipping, and customs clearance. The UAE's top-tier airport infrastructure and United Arab Emirates/Etihad connectivity make it easily easy to reach from anywhere in the world, though desert climate needs careful crew welfare planning.
Here is the short of it. We manage production travel logistics across the UAE from first planning through daily operations on location. Our team sets up global flights, hotel arrangements in Dubai and Abu Dhabi, ground transport including desert-capable cars, visa applications for global crews, and gear clearance through UAE customs, leveraging local contacts to handle emirate-specific needs efficiently.

On Location
Travel and logistics for UAE shoots route crews through Dubai and Abu Dhabi international hubs, coordinating accommodation, desert-capable transport, visas and ATA Carnet customs clearance.
Here is how this works in practice. We manage production travel and logistics for shoots across the UAE, from the first global booking through daily movement on location. The country's top-tier airports, Dubai Global and Abu Dhabi Global, served by United Arab Emirates and Etihad, make the UAE highly easy to reach from anywhere in the world, and our team sets up group flights, gear freight and crew schedules to match.
Here is the short of it. We source lodging close to unit bases in Dubai, Abu Dhabi and beyond, arrange ground transport including desert-capable cars for shoots in the Liwa Desert and the Empty Quarter, and handle visa applications for global crews. For incoming gear we set up ATA Carnet clearance through UAE customs, keeping kit transit predictable.
Crew welfare drives each plan: during the extreme summer months we factor heat into transport timing and lodging. We lean on the prime October-to-April window where the schedule allows.
Here is the breakdown. The UAE has supported the travel logistics of some of the largest shoots in the industry. 'Mission: Impossible Ghost Protocol' and 'Furious 7' moved big global units through Dubai and Abu Dhabi. While '6 Underground', 'Star Wars: The Force Awakens' and both 'Dune' films transported crews, cast and gear deep into remote desert terrain far from any infrastructure.
Here is the breakdown. We bring that operational experience to each project, building multi-site movement plans that synchronise with the shooting schedule, arranging fuel, water and resupply runs for desert units, and keeping round-the-clock support for the inevitable last-minute changes. Whether the production is a contained commercial in Dubai Marina or a feature spanning Yas Island.
Plus the Hajar Mountains, we keep cast, crew and gear moving smoothly and on time.
