Dubai Studio City, Media production hub in Dubai, United Arab Emirates

Dubai Studio City is a media production hub in the Emirates featuring multiple broadcasting facilities and production spaces within a specially designed complex for media enterprises. The facility includes sound stages, recording studios, office spaces, and specialized equipment for film production, broadcasting, and post-production work.

Established in 2005, the studio marked a major advancement in film production capabilities and broadcasting infrastructure across the Middle East. Since its opening, the complex has grown into a recognized center for large-scale production projects throughout the region.

Dubai Studio City hosts the Dubai Film and TV Commission, created by Dubai Executive Council Decision No. 50 of 2014, the sole body authorised to issue filming permits in Dubai. It also stages events such as ON.DXB and the Big Bad Wolf book fair, and includes Studio One hotel, designed by an award-winning interior firm.

Dubai Studio City is a working free zone owned by Dubai Holding, not a public attraction, so there are no studio tours or production-floor visits to book. Access is for companies and production crews; the Dubai Film and TV Commission, set up by Executive Council decision No. 50 of 2014, is the sole body issuing filming permits in Dubai. Visitors can only see the complex from outside.

The complex has served as a filming location for several internationally successful blockbusters, including Star Trek Beyond and Mission Impossible Ghost Protocol. These high-profile productions demonstrate that it is a preferred working venue for film crews from around the world.
