Introduction

Dubai is the largest and most populated city in the United Arab Emirates. It is located on the southeast coast of the Persian Gulf and is the capital of the Emirate of Dubai, one of the seven emirates.

Dubai is a cityscape photographer’s paradise that rivals New York, Shanghai, Tokyo or Hong Kong with state-of-the-art multi-lane highway grids and breathtaking spaghetti junctions, a futuristic metro system, the world’s largest man-made islands and some of the tallest skyscrapers in the world, including the 828 m Burj Khalifa which dominates the skyline.

There are several great districts of Dubai, which you should definitely visit: Dubai Downtown, Dubai Marina, Deira, Business Bay and Palm Island in particular. Dubai also boasts incredible local cuisine, fantastic shopping, great sandy beaches, water parks and family attractions. For true thrill seekers, Dubai offers a unique skydiving experience from a plane some 3900m above Palm Jumeirah as well as other out-of-city adrenaline-pumping experiences and adventures.

For me most valuable and incredible experience is the visit to the observation deck at Burj Khalifa. This majestic building will literally bring you to the skies with a 360-degree city view when the light is on your side. You can choose from two decks at either 456 m or 555 m. Your journey begins when you step into the At the Top, Burj Khalifa SKY lounge, from where you will be personally escorted to a dedicated elevator. From the deck you’ll see the 7-star hotel Burj Al Arab and the marina panorama. From the other side you have views of Sheik Zayed road and several of the tallest skyscrapers.

Jumeirah Beach Hotel

Visit Dubai at any time of year except summer for an incredible experience. Summer time is very hot there; spring or autumn season are more enjoyable. It’s popular, so expect lots of tourists, but Dubai is a safe city with amazing things to do. Traffic is heavy in Dubai, so your best option is to take a taxi; most companies are government-owned. Otherwise use public the transport system which, in my opinion, is one of the best in the world.

Official government taxi companies are differentiated by their different roof colours:

Arabia Taxi (Green roof)

Cars Taxi (Blue roof)

Dubai Tax (Red roof)

Metro Taxi (Orange roof)

National Taxi (Yellow roof)

If you plan to visit attractions in different parts of Dubai, be rigorous about your time management to cover the distance and allow for traffic and transport.

In shopping centres, it is not unusual to negotiate the advertised price. In many shops it is considered a tradition to haggle and it will give you an opportunity to meet some incredible salesman and people.

Always try to respect cultural customs even though Dubai is one of the more liberal Emirates.

Dubai Photography Guide

Your quick guide to places for photography in dubai.

Dubai with its dominating skyline and desert mysteries is somewhere that’s been on my radar for years.

As a city known for its excessive wealth, glitz and the world’s biggest, greatest and grandest everything, it well and truly lived up to its reputation.

Whether or not that’s a good thing depends on personal preference. For some, myself included, Dubai is a little overwhelmingly flashy. For others that’s what fascinates them, this seemingly perfect world of everything the heart desires all crammed into one mall.

What that means thought is that if you visit and don’t want to spend your time inside a mall, you need to seek alternate activities and…there’s plenty of them to keep you occupied! In fact, I wish I had a LOT more time to get beneath the shimmering surface to see the other side of Dubai a little more. Because I didn’t, below in the guide you’ll find location tips from local photographer David Benson who shares some photogenic spots alongside my tips.

A little tip – if you’re planning on visiting a number of key attractions and experiences in Dubai, purchasing a 2-7 day Go Dubai Pass can help you save money on entry fees and gain access to some amazing activities like a morning desert safari, camel trekking, sunset kayaking, access to ‘At The Top’ – Burj Khalifa, 4×4 Desert Quad adventure, Atlantis the Palm water park access and many, many more exciting entry passes.

From the desert and dunes to the sea and skyscrapers, this is my pick of where to go in Dubai to capture beautiful images.

Dubai Photography Locations - A Guide to the best places to take photos in Dubai

Dubai Photography Locations

#1 dubai desert in a hot air balloon.

“I can show you the world…magic, mystery, wonderssss”, you’ll be humming the Aladdin soundtrack as you float over dunes west of Dubai. If you’re not a Disney geek you’ll still have fun too, I guess.

This experience is really hard to beat in Dubai, it’s simply breathtaking. Despite the early rise, heading out to the desert to float at 4000ft above the sand dunes in a basket is crazy cool. For those who love the patterns and formations of nature, you’ll be photographing non-stop as you peer over the basket to endless landscapes of sandy goodness.

Keep your eyes peeled for camels and gazelle that wander beneath creating photo opportunities that blend landscape photography and wildlife. The patterns of the dunes from so high up really allow you to creatively work with nature to capture a shot that showcases the beauty of this region.

Contact Ballooning.ae for booking details, their sunrise experience also includes breakfast in a luxury desert camp and a vintage jeep dune ride. Keep your eyes peeled for my guide on how to prepare for photographing from a hot air balloon, or take a peek at my article ‘ Aerial Photography: Hot Air Ballooning in Dubai ‘.

#2 Dubai Main Beach

This is the place to be to capture the impressive Burj al Arab as the sea and sun meet on the horizon. One of the most beautiful places for photography in Dubai in my opinion!

It’s the image a lot of people come to Dubai to capture, an iconic scene worth putting your own twist on.

With the waves of the Persian Gulf gently lapping the shoreline it’s a great opportunity to capture slow shutter shots of moving water as it washes on and off the sand.

You’ll find a wonderful mix of tourists and locals on the beach cooling down at the end of a hot day but when it comes to photography, legally it’s best to focus on the Burj and sea. It’s against local law to photograph someone who is unaware they’re being photographed so to keep out of any unwanted trouble, stick to beach shots.

#3 Jumeriah Palm – Fairmont Beach

If you’re looking to photograph the Dubai skyline from the water, this spot is perhaps the best of them all.

While you don’t have the Burj Khalifa, you do have the impressive skyscrapers of Dubai Marina looking a little like a Star Wars scene in the distance.

For most of the hotels on The Palm you will need to be either staying there or request a day pass to access the beaches. It’s totally worth it though for views like this! Especially if your a water photo addict like me.

At the Fairmont there’s also a series of outdoor cabanas with beautiful views and palms to frame the skyscrapers…works wonders for composition!

#4 Burj Khalifa

Dubai photography locations don’t get any more wow factor that the Burj Khalifa. Perhaps the most popular and impressive place to take photos in Dubai! Standing at almost one kilometer high, the Burj Khalifa is the world’s highest building.

Stepping out from within the Dubai Mall, tilt your head back and be amazed by the seemingly endless rise of this pin like structure. I thought it would be tall but with struggling long distance vision, the top was nearly completely out of sight for me!

It’s actually hard to grasp a measurement as to just how high it is while standing beneath because it’s hard to count windows and width when they are nearly 500m away!

Each night the fountains dance beneath for up to 5minutes from 6pm then every half hour until 11pm. There’s also two shows at 1pm and 1:30pm during the day (1:30pm and 2pm on Friday).

To watch the fountain show be sure to venture out to Souk Al Bahar Bridge for uninterrupted views of the Burj Khalifa and the mesmerizing fountain display. Just arrive a little earlier so you get a good spot!

The best way to measure the size!? Get up on it!

You can catch a lift to the very top of the Burj Khalifa and experience Dubai from above, all of it. From the top the city appears like a toy village, where roads and skyscrapers become like miniature pieces of a puzzle.

#6 Madinat Jumeriah

For an alternate view of the Burj al Arab, head for the Madinat Jumeriah. Known as one of the most beautiful hotels in Dubai, you’ll find canals lined with Arabian styled buildings, palms and of course the magnificent Burj al Arab as the backdrop. While you can only meander so far if you’re not staying at the hotel, personally I feel that’s enough to capture some great shots then move alone.

There’s a great photo opportunity at the entrance of the Madinat Jumeriah Souk, otherwise, wander thorough the souk until you find the waterside restaurants then weave your way around.

Dubai Local Insider’s Location Tips:

Professional photographer David Benson is the man behind @goexplore.ae and a resident of Dubai. With his extensive knowledge of photography locations around the UAE, David operates photo tours and customised itineraries for travellers. Having lived in Dubai for almost 6 years, David is passionate about sharing where people can see the other side of the city, the side where dunes blend with the sky, far away from the glitz and glam of Sheikh Zayed Road.

Below you’ll find David’s tips for photography locations that will enable you to capture the heritage and natural beauty in and around Dubai –

Dubai Photography Locations: A Local Guide

This neighbourhood in Bur Dubai is not to be missed. It lies on Dubai Creek and is one of the oldest neighbourhoods in Dubai, harking back to the old pearl diving and trading days. It’s now home to Dubai’s growing arts scene, coffee museum and must-stay XVA Hotel. Traditional architecture, narrow side streets and mosques provide numerous photo opportunities. Accessible on the hop-on-hop-off bus tours the circle the city, near Dubai Museum and Fahidi Fort, otherwise I strongly recommend jumping on a 1 AED ($0.37 US) Abra from the Spice Souk in Deira, across the Dubai Creek.

Dubai Creek

Like Bastakiya, the Dubai Creek provides a small insight in to the life of ‘real Dubai’. For many, the small Abra’s that sail up and down the creek, are their means of transport to and from work each day. If you want one for yourself, it’s easy to barter a good deal (expect to pay no more than 50 AED) for a tour up and down the creek. Head down before sunset to explore the Spice Souk on the Deira side of the Creek, and Textile Souk on the Bur Dubai side. Photo highlights include the colourful spices and characters in the Spice Souk (always ask permission before photographing anyone, and avoid photographing ladies), the Abra’s, plus the large Dhows lining the Deira creekside being loaded up with everything from tyres, refrigerators and cars, before setting sail to Africa, India and Pakistan.

Ras Al Khor

I bet you didn’t realise Dubai had Flamingo’s! You’re probably thinking they’re imported, and not native birds. Well, these Flamingo’s call Dubai, and a few other spots throughout the UAE, home during the winter months (October – April). You can see thousands of these migratory birds in the wetland nature reserve of Ras Al Khor. What makes this spot so special is the proximity to Downtown Dubai, the numerous skyscrapers and main road networks. You can visit a few hides around the reserve between Saturday and Thursday (closed on Friday’s ) between 09:00-16:00 . The view across the reserve from Ras Al Khor road, especially around sunrise and sunset offer spectacular skyline views with the wetland reserve in the foreground. Expect to photograph through the fence.

Al Qudra Lakes

Full disclosure – these lakes are manmade. Unlike Ras Al Khor, Al Qudra Lakes were built back in 2010-2012 as a habitat for both migratory and introduced birds. A shimmering oasis, in the heart of the desert, just 40 minutes drive from Downtown Dubai, these lakes offer a wonderful spot for walking, bird watching, and a spot of camping during the winter. They do get busy during the weekends, however they cover 10 hectares, so you should be able to find some peace and quiet. A fantastic spot for sunrise or sunset. Also a stones throw away from some of the darkest skies in Dubai (Note: Never head in to the desert alone and without food, water and experience of driving on sand).

Have you been to Dubai and have somewhere to include in this list? Feel free to comment below telling everyone where you think is photogenic or a great experience in Dubai!

Of course this isn’t a definitive guide to the best locations in Dubai, it’s simply a collection of places I personally loved during my trip and that are recommended by locals. Feel free to explore on your own to see what special spots you can find.

The map below pin points each Dubai photography location mentioned in the guide above. You’re welcome to open the map in Google Maps and it’ll allow you to follow along during your travels and hopefully help you minimise time working out where everything is so you can head straight there and take photos!

Hi Ronald, that’s so exciting, congratulations! It depends on what you both like the most…I would think the desert could be very romantic! Perhaps your photographer might know you both better and can recommend based on your personalities for this special moment 🙂

Hello. I am photographer from the US and will be visiting Dubai September 16-20, 2019. I am trying to find someone (preferably a photographer) who can help me with getting to the locations I would like to take pictures from. I am putting together a photo guide of the places I would like to shoot from and am wondering if you or if you know of someone who can put together a private tour of sorts to help me. Thanks for your assistance.

March 29, 2019 at 9:38 pm

Exciting to hear you’ll be visiting Dubai this year Floyd. It’s probably best to contact your hotel as they may be able to recommend a driver or local photographer that can travel around with you to any places you have on your list.

May 12, 2019 at 7:35 am

Hello, I am visiting Dubai this month and would like a place where I can park a car and also have great views of the skyline (Burj Khalifa etc) in the background or a car park very close to the Burj Khalifa where you can see it in all its glory! Any recommendations? With Thanks Callum

July 23, 2019 at 2:04 pm

Hi, thank you for the notes on your post. I will be travelling to Dubai next year and I am concerned about the photography laws they have. Taking photos and (inadvertently ) capturing people is punishable by a fine and 6 months jail. Can you please offer some advise on this issue? Thank you, Rosa

July 25, 2019 at 8:36 am

Hi Rosa, I would strongly advise not to photograph people under any circumstance anyway while in Dubai. I can’t advise on the current laws and rulings but it’s better to be safe and simply avoid taking photos with people in them in the first place. I saw lots of people in shopping malls and at the beach with their cameras but I’m not sure how strict or tolerant the laws are in each instance. Have a great trip!

July 25, 2020 at 2:43 am

Wow! These are great places and ideas. But the list can go on and on and on though as Dubai literally has so many attractions. And it’d also depend on whether the tourist love natural or architectural wonders. There’s Dubai Miracle Garden, Hatta Dam… And taking a photo skydiving over Palm Jumeirah which you mentioned would be a very good thing to do.

A city made for Instagram

The perfect formula for incredible content.

Did you know that Dubai is ranked in the top 10 most Instagrammable places in the world? Then again, how could it not when it’s home to world-breaking skyscrapers, architecture that pushes the limits, insanely beautiful cityscapes, dazzling art installations scattered around, out-of-this-world landmarks and all this of course with sweeping desert plains just minutes away. And when you consider that the city is a global hub for all things travel and leisure, a perfect formula is created that makes everything truly be all for the gram.

To help with your planning, we’ve put together a list of the most common questions we’ve received and their respective answers. In case you have further queries you want to discuss, we are of course only a call, email or Instagram message away.

Would I be able to create my own itinerary?

Absolutely. Beyond the standardized itineraries that we offer at various locations around Dubai, we can be flexible, working completely around your needs to provide you with customized itineraries.

How many photos and videos will I get from a shoot?

Depending on the experience you go for, whether its a half-day or full-day shoot, the number of photos and videos we take of you will vary. Our intention is to capture great, compelling content that creates a wow-effect from each location we visit.

How many people can be part of a shoot?

While we don’t limit you on the number of people that can be part of our experiences, for us to achieve the desired outcome with our photo and video shoots and to ensure your satisfaction, we recommend to have up to 2 people on frame at a time.

How long after the shoot will I be receiving the edited content?

We get to work straight after the completion of your photo and video shoot. We know that there is great excitement and eagerness to get ahold of your edited content quickly to check out the outcome and start socialising it on your profiles. Knowing this, we provide you with the assurance that all content is delivered to you within 5 working days.

How do the private transfer services work?

One of our goals is to create hassle-free experiences, so included in all our packages are free pick-up and drop-off services to a location of your choice around Dubai, plus the transportation to all the sites we explore. Our vehicles are spacious and comfortable SUVs which offer ample space to further enhance your journey around the city.

How far in advance do I need to make a booking?

To avoid any disappointment, we recommend that you book your experience at least one week in advance. That way we are able to comfortably organise all the logistics of the shoot including all the necessary permits that may be required, which is the case for several locations in Dubai.

What is your amendment & cancellation policy?

We understand that circumstances change, probably now more than ever before, and want to give you the assurance of knowing you can cancel an experience without incurring a cost. We’ll guarantee you a complete, no-questions-asked refund up to 7 days before the shoot date. While cancellations after this period incur fees, we are able to change the date of the experience to a later date that better suits you.

Can I specify the presets to use on my photos & videos?

Instagram is all about using filters and applying presets on photos and videos. We have hundreds of these presets at our disposal and use the best suited ones when working on your content. If there are specific filters and color grading styles that you prefer, we can certainly apply these for you in our post-production work.

Mohammed bin Rashid tours 17th edition of Art Dubai

Dubai [ UAE ], March 1 (ANI/WAM): Sheikh Mohammed bin Rashid Al Maktoum , Vice President, Prime Minister and Ruler of Dubai , today toured the 17th edition of Art Dubai , a leading global platform for art and artists from the Middle East and the Global South being held at Madinat Jumeirah from March 1-3.

Speaking on the occasion of the tour, Al Maktoum said the UAE is committed to creating an environment where artists and creative professionals from all corners of the world can thrive. "Our ethos of tolerance, openness and inclusiveness, combined with our strong belief that creative expression in all its forms is vital to the progress of civilisations, has led to the creation of a vibrant cultural environment in the country and made it a home for diverse artistic talent," he said.

Sheikh Mohammed highlighted that over the years, Dubai has launched various art events that have gained prominence on the global cultural calendar, enriching the cultural landscape in the emirate and making it a hub for the world's best creative minds. He commended the efforts led by Sheikha Latifa bint Mohammed bin Rashid Al Maktoum, Chairperson of the Dubai Culture and Arts Authority and Member of the Dubai Council, to accelerate the development of the emirate's cultural sector and raise its profile on the global cultural map.

Art Dubai 's growth over the years into a major platform for showcasing the best of art from around the world has helped accelerate Dubai 's growth into a major centre for the global creative economy where cultural dialogue and artistic exploration can flourish, he noted. The UAE will continue to launch new initiatives to further strengthen its status as a destination for creative industries and expand the nation's cultural impact on the global stage, he added.

He was accompanied during his visit by Mohammad Ahmad Al Murr, Chairman of the Mohammed bin Rashid Al Maktoum Library Foundation; Abdulrahman bin Mohamed Al Owais, Minister of Health and Prevention; Essa Kazim, Governor of the Dubai International Financial Centre; Mona Ghanem Al Marri, Vice Chairperson and Managing Director of the Dubai Media Council and Director General of the Government of Dubai Media Office; and Jamal bin Huwaireb, CEO of the Mohammed Bin Rashid Al Maktoum Knowledge Foundation.

Art Dubai showcases more than 140 contemporary, modern and digital gallery presentations from over 60 cities and 40 countries and newly commissioned works by top local, regional and international artists, with more than 65% of them representing the Global South . By highlighting art and galleries from regions often overlooked on the global stage, Art Dubai serves as a crucial platform for diverse artistic expression.

Since its inception in 2007, Art Dubai has also sought to reflect Dubai 's diverse global communities, identities and cultures. This year, the event features more Dubai -based exhibitors than ever before, contributing significantly to the city's cultural enrichment and its growth as a major global commercial art centre.

Art Dubai is one of the key events of the Dubai Art Season, a comprehensive annual artistic celebration organised by Dubai Culture in the first quarter of the year to celebrate the emirate's growing creative and cultural landscape. During the tour, he was briefed about the art fair's support for the region's evolving cultural ecosystem and expanding cultural scene.

Al Maktoum was also briefed on the breadth of Art Dubai 's programming that includes significantly expanded partnerships, a wide-ranging education, talks and thought-leadership programme and a new Digital Summit, reflecting Dubai 's increasingly mature local and regional creative communities.

Art Dubai is the premier platform to see and buy modern and contemporary art from the Global South . Across Contemporary, Modern, Bawwaba and Digital gallery sections, annual artist commissions and a multidisciplinary thought leadership programme, Art Dubai champions art and artists from across the Global South .
