VIDEO PRODUCTION AT ABU DHABI CORNICHE

Commercial filming on the Corniche generally requires permission from the relevant Abu Dhabi authority, even though much of it is public space. Personal portrait sessions are usually more straightforward than commercial shoots with crew and lighting. We confirm and arrange what is required before the shoot.

Portrait and family sessions start from AED 2,000, social content days from AED 2,500, event coverage from AED 3,000, and multi-location city films from AED 4,500.

Yes. The Corniche cycle track and promenade host regular races and mass-participation events. We cover mass starts, finish lines, key course points and participant content, coordinating positions with the event organiser in advance.

Generally yes, because much of it is public space rather than managed private property. Yas and Saadiyat locations almost always sit on a resort, circuit, arena or institution with its own approval process and often a location fee. The Corniche still needs permission for commercial work, but the process is simpler.
