About Dubai Studio City
Dubai Studio City is a free zone dedicated to film, television, music and broadcast production. It was launched in the mid-2000s as part of Dubai's media cluster, alongside Dubai Media City and other creative zones.
The area offers sound stages, studios, backlots and production facilities that can host film shoots, television series, commercials and live productions. It also provides offices for production companies, post-production houses, equipment rental firms and other media businesses.
Having facilities in one place makes it easier for productions to work efficiently, with equipment, crews and services available nearby.
Dubai has become a popular location for international and regional productions, including Hollywood films and Arabic series, thanks to its varied locations, from desert to skyline, along with incentives and support from the Dubai Film and TV Commission.
Production companies based in Studio City benefit from free zone licences and a community of media professionals.
The UAE's creative economy strategy aims to grow media and entertainment as part of economic diversification.
