Holiday video in Jumeirah — from $350. 90 min on location with a vetted local videographer, and you receive 2–3 min film + 60 s vertical reel within 2–3 weeks. The price is agreed before you book and does not move.
Why here
From Sunset Beach the Burj Al Arab stands to the south-west: front-lit at sunrise, side-lit in the evening, and never quite in line with the setting sun — it goes down to the right of the tower even in December. That is what decides how a session is planned here: the videographer you work with shoots in Jumeirah all year, so they are not seeing the place for the first time alongside you. That prior knowledge is the difference between a shoot that lands inside its window of light and one spent looking for a frame.
How the shoot is planned
The typical plan runs 90 min: we start at Sunset Beach, Umm Suqeim and move on to Kite Beach. Two locations rather than one give you two distinct backdrops, and the transfer between them is timed in advance so the soft light is not spent in a car.
The hour matters more than the location. For Sunset Beach, Umm Suqeim, the window to aim for is sunrise for the tower; sunset for the sky. The session runs 90 min and is built around that window rather than your diary: from May to September the middle of the day in the UAE is hard light and dangerous heat, so sunrise and the last hour before sunset are not a preference here but the rule.
What’s included
The Holiday video package in Jumeirah covers: 2–3-minute film, colour-graded, with music; 60-second vertical reel; Reel within 3–5 days, film within 2–3 weeks. Nothing is added to the price after the shoot. Permits worth knowing about: Jumeirah Mosque — paid guided visit run by the Sheikh Mohammed Centre for Cultural Understanding; modest dress required, abayas lent; Madinat Jumeirah — resort property — professional sessions need Jumeirah’s approval; hotel guests are easiest.

Before you book
For Sunset Beach, Umm Suqeim, aim for sunrise for the tower; sunset for the sky. At a busy location, two hours either way changes what can be framed at all.
At some locations, yes: Jumeirah Mosque (paid guided visit run by the Sheikh Mohammed Centre for Cultural Understanding; modest dress required, abayas lent); Madinat Jumeirah (resort property — professional sessions need Jumeirah’s approval; hotel guests are easiest). The videographer handles it and tells you at booking, not on the day.
We move the shoot to another slot or another day at no cost. If you are only in the UAE briefly, we switch to backup locations scouted in advance rather than cancelling.
2–3 min film + 60 s vertical reel within 2–3 weeks. Everything arrives in a private online gallery, at full resolution, downloadable from any country.
