Best locations for photoshoot in Dubai

The biggest challenge for photographers in Dubai is to find interesting places for a photo shoot where they can safely take pictures, and it is even more difficult to find places to photograph cars with beautiful backgrounds. I offer you my unique verified collection of used locations where you can easily organize your photography, or take pictures of your car. The photos there are different at different times of the day, but this is not a problem for a professional. Be sure to visit my Instagram page, where you can always see new photos, new posts and interesting videos.

Barsha Park parking

The quietest and most spacious place next to the large shopping center Barsha Mall. This is a parking lot in front of the Barsha Park, opposite the Barsha shopping center and next to a large green park. The peculiarity of this place is that the parking lot is always empty, no one ever interferes and an interesting background in the form of palm trees and beautiful trees. This location is very convenient for those who plan to quickly sell a car, or make a couple of new shots on a simple background.

Maydan Bridge

Friends, be careful with shooting on the bridge, it is no longer possible to organize photography on the white bridge, as the bridge is open to traffic and radars are installed in all directions. The only way to take photos on the bridge is to park the car in the parking lot under the bridge and walk to the bridge, which looks very magically beautiful at night. The Maidan Bridge is a landmark of Dubai and connects to the largest hotel in Dubai. The bridge has long been a symbol of romance, attracts the attention of all photographers. The bridge leads to a large hotel of the most influential and beloved family of Sheikhs Maktoum, for their enormous contribution to the development of this city and the whole country. I often take portraits there for my clients in luxury cars. It’s a pity, this place was simply magical for photo shoots. Article updated December 17, 2024.

 

Jaddaf, Dubai

I always choose places where I can work quietly. The main difficulty is that you need to get permission for any photography, moreover, you must also have a photographer’s license, which is given to you as soon as you receive documents on a freelance basis. That is why, for simplicity, it is easier to choose places with beautiful views of Dubai. This time we will talk about one location with excellent views of Dubai (Jaddaf walk Park), but here you will have to use lenses from 50 mm, since the panorama of the city is very far away, but during sunset it is just a magical place to take pictures. This photo was taken during sunset. At the link you can see all the brightest works of photographs taken at sunset.

 

Al Mamzar Beach

This place is very popular with fans of a relaxing family holiday by the sea, as this place is not the center, but rather the outskirts of Dubai, you can find a lot here for half price. Not far from this place in Deira you will find everything you want at a very low price, but I like this place not because of this, but because there are very beautiful palm trees, houses and the sea horizon, it is especially interesting to take pictures during sunset, even in the middle of the day, with very pronounced shadows. Just recently, I was there, and the whole part with a sea view is fenced off and major restoration work is being carried out there. I can’t wait for the final result, I’m sure everything will be much more beautiful. The location is here.

 

Desert of Dubai 

The most favorite place for photographers is deserts, sands and beautiful blue sunsets. Here you have just an unrealistically large number of places. You can drive in any direction from Dubai, after a 35 minutes drive you will find the sands (the location). Here you just have an unrealistically large choice, all photographers have their own places. Another update, one of my favorite places for a photo shoot against the background of sand dunes, is now completely banned, there are private zone signs everywhere. This is probably due to the large number of people who go there to drive at high speeds. Anyway there are many beautiful places heading towards for example in direction of Damac Hills 2 and near Town Square. 

Fashion parking – Dubai Mall 

It’s just a wonderful place. From here you can enjoy a wonderful view of the most beautiful part of Dubai, this is the parking lot of one of the largest shopping malls. Right in front of the Burj Khalifa skyscraper. Who would have thought that parking lots would become so popular among car photographers and tourists. There are absolutely beautiful camera angles in all directions. This place is located almost in the center of Dubai, so it offers stunning photonic views of the city. Dubai at night from this parking lot is just beautiful. Recently, there has been a lot of security here, due to some overly creative photographers who climb onto the roofs of parking lots in search of camera angles. The location is here. 

Business Bay – La Perle

I found this interesting place quite by accident 5 years ago. This parking lot is located in Business Buy, opposite the La Perle Theater and these large two bridges are the widest highway that runs over the Dubai Canal. The place is very interesting, but as you have already understood, I have a priority for taking photos with cars.

 

Palm Jumeirah – XXII Carat

If you decide to visit the most popular artificial island in Dubai, then I advise you to visit the specified place. This time you will have a stunning view of the tall buildings of the Marina district, the sunset will be slightly to the right of the 80 degrees area. It is a long park with palm trees, overlooking the sea and yachts passing by every minute. A great place to take pictures of cars and take a professional photo shoot, as well as just take a walk and look at beautiful places. The location is here.

Business Bay – Anantara Business Tower

A lot of fans and those who want to take a photo shoot against the background of Dubai need a location where the most basic and symbolic knowledge of the city is very clearly visible and Business buy will be most suitable for this. It is with great pleasure that I recommend this location to you. This place is located right in front of the Anantara Business Tower. So that you have a gorgeous modern building in the background and a view of beautiful Dubai. 

 

Dubai Creek Harbor

Dubai is developing very fast, huge new areas are opening up with new futuristic infrastructure and beautiful unusual buildings. One of these areas is Dubai Creek Harbor. I was shocked when I first saw bus stops there, made in a very interesting way, and large animals and birds are also present there. In short, I advise you to do it yourself.

 

Safа Park

One of the largest parks where car events are held is Safа Park parking, I advise you to remember it, as there are always just extraordinary automotive events like Pictic, but I choose this place because of the beautiful view of the Dubai Canal and the bridge shining in the night, and beautiful buildings (now there are constantly held repairs), so it may happen that some part of the city will not be visible.

 

Dubai Creek Harbor Marina

If you want something unusual, where buildings, the sea, yachts, the world’s largest Ferris wheel will be in the background. Then you need the Dubai Creek Harbor Marina. This is a new part of the Marina, which I definitely advise you to visit at any time of the day, night or day, it is very beautiful there.

 

Jaddaf – Creek Harbor

There are outstanding new buildings in this place in Dubai Creek, and the most interesting thing is that you will have the dawn from the side of multi-storey buildings. It’s a very cool place, where you have a sandy surface with a little greenery and trees, and in front of the houses you can see a large metal ship. In fact, this place is still open and you can get to it by car. In addition, there is also a long alley for walking along the embankment, as well as on the opposite side, after 200 meters you will see a beautiful panorama of the symbolic high-rise buildings of Dubai. Here is the location of place

 

Sufouh Beach

!!! The important news is that the entrance to the beach is closed, probably major construction work is underway there. I’m really sorry guys, don’t waste your time, if there are updates, I’ll definitely let you know. A very unusual open beach, which is used to be called the Secret beach or Sufouh Beach , is located 8 minutes from the Marina area, and 15 minutes from the Barsha area, it is an very convenient beach where I often take photos of cars, especially spectacularly at sunset and at night. Moreover, I am a fan of swimming, you can just drive very close to the sea by car. There are no clear parking spaces, everyone parks right on the sand, but there is always a very friendly atmosphere. meters you will.
